Foreclosure is always a race against time. Although a home loan modification can slow the process, you have fewer options the longer you wait. Not all lenders have the staff or experience to handle mortgage loan modifications. Even with a capable attorney, the process can drag on for months.

But you don?t have to sit and wait. There are some things you can do to speed up the process. Once your home loan modification is under way, these steps can help you get more positive results.

1. Put everything on paper. It?s not uncommon for lenders, especially smaller ones, to lose track of your application. To prevent delays, make sure all your efforts are documented and kept on file. This includes all the calls you make and receive, both from your lender and loan modification attorney. Keep receipts of all your transactions, and make copies so you don?t have to let go of the originals.

2. Do your own financial statements. Part of every home loan modification is a financial worksheet, which will be your main basis for qualification. Most lenders have their own forms, but it won?t hurt to make your own as well. If your lender insists on using their worksheet, at least you?ll have all the information ready.

3. Be as detailed as possible. Too much information is better than too little, and it limits the chances that they?ll call you for more information. A typical worksheet for a mortgage loan modification will include the following:

-Your contact information (address, home phone and work phone, fax and email)

-Information about your property, including the estimated value

-Your current income

-Any additional income, such as welfare, child support, etc.

-Your estimated total value, including other assets such as real estate, investments, savings and checking accounts, IRAs, 401(k), stocks and bonds

-Liabilities, such as existing loans, monthly bills, medical expenses, and tax liens

4. Keep all your bills. The financial worksheet will require you to dig up old bills and hold on to the ones that keep coming. This will help you keep the information as accurate as possible. You may also need to present these bills (or copies of them) along with your hardship letter, which explains why you need a mortgage loan modification. Even if they don?t ask for it, it?s best to include them anyway. That way, there?s no reason for your lender to doubt your statement. The more proof you have, the better your chances of getting that home loan modification.

Be sure to submit as much truthful and verifiable information to your loan modification attorney so they are able to compile the best case to submit you your lender.

Getting a settlement loan isn?t that daunting of a task. The process is different between each settlement loan provider, but usually takes around 2 to 7 days to get approval. You can usually fill out the application online or over the phone. The settlement loan provider will need to speak with your attorney and this may incur costs.

There are several factors that come into play if you?ll get approved for a settlement loan. One factor is the type of claim (or lawsuit type) that is currently pending. The amount you?re looking to get advanced will also be considered in the process. The duration of the case can also affect the ability to get a settlement loan, or affect the amount you can receive. Finally, the most important factor is the risk. This will be based on the merit of your case and how it?s looking in terms of your party winning the lawsuit.

Your settlement loan application will require all your personal information; including name, address, city, zip code, phone number and date of birth. You shouldn?t be required to give your social security number since your credit history does not play a factor into the decision, they may need to use it verify your identity.

You?ll then need to provide information regarding your pending case. Below is the a list of information you should have on handle, but not limited to?
