When Reinstatement Makes Sense
Strategies To Manage Or Reduce Reinstatement Fees
- Request an itemized invoice: Ask the lender for a detailed, written breakdown of every fee and the justification for each.
- Negotiate: Some lenders may waive or reduce certain charges if the borrower presents a feasible repayment plan or demonstrates good faith to cure the default.
- Explore loss mitigation options: A loan modification, forbearance, or a repayment plan may alter or delay fees and bring the loan current more affordably.
- Check for unlawful fees: Some charges may violate state or federal protections. An attorney or housing counselor can review the charges for compliance.
- Plan for funds: If reinstatement is chosen, assemble the amount quickly to avoid additional penalties or further delays.
