But despite this being the lender’s recommendation, some banks subsequently report you as delinquent in your payments.  This reflects poorly on banks so even under a temporary modification agreement, you need to verify with the bank – and get it in writing – whether or not you will be reported as delinquent if you choose to go through with it. 

According to Clark Howard if you are already drowning and haven’t stayed current, a temporary modification could honestly be a waste of your time and effort.  Finally, will a modification really help or is it just delaying the inevitable?
