How to Write a Hardship Letter

How to Write a Hardship LetterA financial hardship letter for mortgage companies or banks is a letter you send to your financial institution explaining why you are no longer able to make the payments on your house and indicate exactly what happened to cause your payments to fall behind.

These letters are being widely used by investors and homeowners today in order to help them avoid house foreclosure, participate in a Workout Solution or convince the bank to accept a real state short sale of a property.

Tips on how to write a letter of hardship



In your financial hardship letter you should:

  • Keep it brief and to the point.
  • Do not be too vague in your explanation, or too technical.
  • Write with feeling and emotion. (make them cry when they read your letter).
  • Identify the reasons for failing to keep current with your monthly payments and the DATES which coincides with the delinquency period.
  • State your offer to resolve your debt.
  • Show them you are willing to participate in a Workout Solution or the desire to retain ownership of the house or property.
  • Thank them for their time and consideration.
  • Don’t forget to leave your current contact information.
  • Enclose bank statements from the past two months, late notices on your car, last year's tax returns, and anything else you can find that shows the financial trouble you are going through.

Some GOOD EXAMPLES of hardship to include in your letter are:

  • any medical complications that would prevent you from maintaining employment
  • drastic decrease in salary
  • lost of employment
  • fixed income
  • single parent w/out child support

BAD EXEMPLES:

  • legal issues
  • divorce
  • you are a student
  • you are overextended
  • threatening to file bankruptcy

Here's a sample mortgage hardship letter that can be used as a guide. Don’t forget to insert your OWN details inside the PARENTHESIS or where appropriate and DELETE any information that is not relevant to your case. Also, always DATE your letter and keep a COPY of the letter you send for your records.
