Depending on your financial situation and/or circumstances, some of the options that may be available include, but are not limited to, certain programs such as Loan Modifications and other Making Home Affordable (MHA), Assistance Programs (e.g. “U.S. Treasury’s Home Affordable Program (HAMP)” or “Home Affordable Alternatives (HAFA)” ).
