There’s a growing trend among lenders which has come about in this poor economy of going a little further in working with homeowners who are having trouble making their mortgage payments. Called either alternative financing or foreclosure loan modification they have the potential to stop foreclosure now. The reason the lender is willing to work a little harder with you is that they have so many mortgages on their books that can be considered problem mortgages that they need to try to salvage as many as they can even if it means making less money or even just breaking even. The foreclosure process itself is a money loser for them almost all the time. So anything better than losing money on a mortgage (like breaking even) is preferable to them than the foreclosure process.
