TO CONTRACT WITH LMAC | Forensic Loan AuditingForensic loan auditing is a study of the lender provided documents to uncover potential violations of state and federal consumer protection laws. Utilizing this information can be the leverage needed in order to negotiate new loan terms. If violations are determined, an option is to mediate the loan with the lender and demand a loan modification based on the legal violations uncovered. A lender is usually willing to do this because mediating a loan and making it a performing asset is far less costly than foreclosure or incurring large legal expenses.
