In the year 2009 my business income volume decreased almost 75 % I was diagnosed with a XXXX due to all the financial difficulties, at the same time my husband fell ill and had to go under XXXX XXXX and we had to live on credit cards to be able to make ends meet. My credit got overextended and we where not able to afford the terms on the credit cards and also it caused to default on the mortgage monthly payment. We requested a short sale and placed our property on the market for almost 6 months and have shown the property numerous times with no luck. Because my income has dropped considerably I can no longer afford the terms of the original loan and as a loyal customer I 'd like to ask for an affordable loan modification to real market value and a lower interest rate.
