OCC and OTS Mortgage Metrics Report
First Quarter 2009
Modified Loans 60 or More Days Delinquent, by Changes to Monthly Payments: Re-Default Rate at Three, Six, Nine, and 12 Months after Modification
Modifications that decreased monthly payments had consistently lower re-default rates, with greater percentage decreases resulting in lower subsequent re-default rates. While lower payments reduce monthly cash flows, they may also result in longer term sustainability of the mortgage payments. After 12 months, 37.6 percent of modifications that decreased monthly payments by 20 percent or more were seriously delinquent. In contrast, 58.8 percent of modifications that left payments unchanged and 56.2 percent of modifications that increased payments were seriously delinquent after 12 months.
