Sometimes this is very hard for us to write …Then this article will give some fresh ideas.

     So how do you write a hardship letter for loan modification? There is no simple answer to that, but there are some things that you should do before writing your hardship letter:

     1. Before writing the letter, collect and go through all of your financial records for the past year. Keep the important ones on hand while you are writing your hardship letter in case you need to reference them while writing. Your letter needs to be as detailed as possible and you probably cannot afford to be skipped over for loan modification.

     2. On a separate sheet of paper or document list out the financial troubles that have befallen you over the past year or so and if you feel specific dates are important, put those on the list as well. You want to be as clear and concise with your lender as possible to avoid confusion and to save time.

     3. Figure out the exact amount you are able to pay for your mortgage monthly. Figure out your entire household’s income and subtract your expenses and work from there.
