Absolutely it is. Mortgage companies frequently offer borrowers "short payoffs", depending on the circumstances. The most common form of a short payoff is a short sale, where the homeowner sells their home for less than what it's worth in order to avoid a foreclosure.

Some second lien holders will offer a distressed homeowner the opportunity to wipe out a debt for a small percentage of what's owed.

More recently, there has been pressure on mortgage companies to refinance homes at current market value, wiping out any negative equity on a loan and lowering the monthly payment.

How does a lender use a credit report?

A lender will request a credit report from one of three credit reporting bureaus. This report will give the lender an idea about how likely you are to repay a loan on time and in full. The better your credit report, the more likely you are to repay the loan in full on time and (in general) the lower an interest rate you will be offered.


Voluntary foreclosure how do i do this and does it have to be excepted?

Voluntary forclosure is when you call your lender and tell them you are voluntarily forclosing. This way the lender knows to sell the home before the bank "forcloses". I heard when the bank sells the home for a lower amount than the payoff, they can come after you to pay back the difference. By volunteering, you have open communication with the lender where the house can be put on the market asap rather than after the fact. You are off the hook but its stamped on your credit for a very long time.

Usually the best place to start is with your existing lender, but today most mortgages are bundled and sold to investors so they cannot be modified. The debtor has to refinance the loan. With a refinanced loan, you get a lower interest rate but you start with a new loan payoff date as well.

Only if the lender agrees to lower the amount due, remember that the BK discharged the promissory note; there is no legal mechanism to force the lender to lower the amount due (you are in a very weak bargaining position).
