Understand Your Options

When considering your financial and home ownership options, think about your goals. We have various hardship assistance options that may fit your needs.

Loan Modification Program

If you can no longer afford to make monthly loan payments, you may qualify for a loan modification to make them more affordable.

Am I Eligible?

Some of the initial eligibility guidelines for the Loan Modification Program include:

  • Your loan payment ratio (including taxes, insurance, and home owners association dues) based on gross income, must meet program guidelines.
  • If you previously defaulted on a payment during your Trial Payment Plan or Modification you may still qualify.

Print a hard copy of the application and mail or fax it to us:

Loan Modification Program Application Packet

Liquidation Foreclosure Alternative (LFA)

The Liquidation foreclosure Alternative includes additional foreclosure avoidance options, such as Short Sale and Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure.

Am I Eligible?

To be considered for LFA, you must be considered for other loan modifications or retention programs that are offered. You may have the opportunity to be considered for LFA if you lack other options and request a short sale or deed-in-lieu.

We will consider you for LFA if you:

  • Do not qualify for a Trial Period Plan OR
  • Do not successfully complete a trial period OR
  • Are delinquent on a modification by missing at least two consecutive payments OR
  • Request a short sale or deed-in-lieu

You must provide a marketable title, free and clear of other mortgages, liens, or other encumbrances.

Homeowner Assistance Fund

The Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) was created by the American Rescue Plan Act to help homeowners struggling to make housing payments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Homeowner Assistance Fund provides up to $50 million to each state, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. The U.S. Department of Treasury will issue the funds to each state once the U.S. Department of Treasury has approved their Homeowner Assistance Fund program guidelines and requirements. Please see below for further information on how you can reach out to your state to find out if you are eligible to receive Homeowner Assistance Funds.  

Where can I find more information about my State’s Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) program requirements?

Other Alternatives

We understand that there are events and circumstances that may cause you to fall behind on your loan payments. If you have found yourself in this situation, please contact us. A variety of assistance programs may be available depending upon your circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are having financial difficulties, it’s always best to make us aware of your situation. We may have a payment program available to help you through your financial hardship. To learn more call to speak with a PNC Borrower Assistance Representative:

Mortgage: 1-800-523-8654

Home Equity: 1-866-622-2657 ext. 66520

If you signed the Note and Mortgage, you are still liable for the payments.

A divorce agreement does not alter your obligation to make payments.

No. Deeding your interest in the property to someone else only means that you no longer own the home. You are still obligated to make payments, as stated in your Note and Mortgage.

You can reinstate your loan at any time up to the confirmation of foreclosure sale date if you pay all past due payments plus any fees and costs associated with the foreclosure.

In some states, the mortgagor can redeem the property after the Sheriff sale date. Redemption involves a total due payment to a court official, for the amount that was established by the foreclosure action.

In a Short Sale, you will list the property with a licensed Real Estate Agent. The sale of the property is typically for less than the full amount due on the loan. When an acceptable offer is received, the servicer or investor must approve the offer and terms of the contract. Upon completion of the short sale, the lien on your property will be removed; however, you may continue to be responsible for any deficiency amount owed on the loan after the short sale proceeds are applied. There may be tax consequences if the deficiency amount is waived.  Please consult your tax advisor. 

If you have received an offer to buy your house and haven’t started the Short Sale process, you might still qualify. Contact us immediately for details.

With the Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure, you voluntarily transfer ownership of your property to the servicer or investor in full satisfaction of the total amount due. The servicer or investor may require that you list and market the property before they agree to a deed-in-lieu arrangement.

Other terms and conditions apply to the Short Sale and Deed-in-Lieu programs. Contact a PNC Borrower Assistance Representative for more details:

Mortgage: 1-800-523-8654

Home Equity: 1-866-622-2657 ext. 66520

Mortgage: 1-800-523-8654

Home Equity: 1-866-622-2657 ext. 66520

You should contact the lender or the company identified on your monthly loan statement to confirm the identity of your loan servicer.

Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have established toll-free telephone numbers and websites to make this data available. On the website you may enter information to determine if either agency owns or has securitized your existing loan.
