A person I hired to help with my mortgage advised me to stop making payments on my mortgage loan so I could qualify for a loan modification. Do I have to do this?
Not making your mortgage loan payments could hurt your credit score and limit your options. If anyone tells you to stop making mortgage loan payments, they may be trying to scam you.
