		<description>I am 67 years old. I have a first mortage of $3887.74 each month , 30 year fixed. No second. Thats $46,652.88 per year. I normally make about $120.000 per year and at that income the payment is affordable but last year I made less than $65,000.
00 and the year before was not much better. I have had home loan payments for over 30 years and have never even been late on even one payment. My home has a loan of $516,000.00 and I have been at this address for 10 years. I need some help. Can you help me. I have 8 employees and at my machine shop and its getting harder to make it each month.    Raymond Shaw</description>

		<description>Susan, thanks for pointing out the link issue. I&#039;ve fixed them and they should work now. Normally I check that. To check for eligibility go to http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/eligibility.html

It shouldn&#039;t ask you for a username and password.</description>

		<description>I am wondering why the links on THIS page to look up if our loan is a Freddie or Fannie Mae do not work?

And how does someone access the www.makinghomeaffordable.gov website? Every time I try to go there, it says I need a user name and password but there is no way to register for it. Please help!</description>

		<description>Hi Laurie,

Mortgage rates are at an all-time low. Whatever bank owns your loan check with them. Most of the time you can check online to see what refinance rates are being offered for the day.</description>

		<description>My income has decreased by 30% since I got my mortgage in 09/08. I am not behind in my payments but interest is 6.325% and I want to know if I qualify for modification or refinance of loan. Thank you. Laurie Mooney</description>

		<description>Martha, I called Freddie Mac out of curiousity and got a very nice rep who helped explain it a little. She said you need to talk with the lender and they need to contact the servicer for your loan. The program from what I understood is not given directly to you. It&#039;s an option for the lender to offer you. 

I&#039;m thinking you may be eligible for the program, but because I don&#039;t have all the details, I&#039;d recommend calling the number above to find out. Stay on them and keep trying.</description>

		<description>Martha, thanks for leaving your comment. I would try calling anyway. Since the mortgage is broken up into two loans, I&#039;m not sure what they would do. I&#039;ll see what I can find, but try calling. I&#039;d be interested in knowing what they&#039;d say. If I don&#039;t find out before you, please let us know what  you find out.</description>

		<description>I tried talking with countrywide about refinance my loan. I was informed that I was not eligible if my investor was not Fannie Mae,or Freddie Mac. MY
frist loan is listed under investor CW Bank according to Countrywide. second loan listed with Freddie Mac. I have no ideal who is CW Bank,is unless it is countrywide who is the investor, however b/c my second loan is listesd with Freddie Mac would I be eligble for Making Home Affordable.</description>
