DETROIT – Jan. 5, 2010 – The last thing many troubled homeowners want to hear is that they could be denied a car loan after they get a chance to modify their home loan.

But credit scores can get dinged after a home loan modification, making it more costly or tougher to get a loan or credit card.

Hundreds of thousands of homeowners find themselves in a financial squeeze, thanks to the recession and the meltdown in the housing market. Lenders have offered trial loan modifications to more than 700,000 eligible borrowers. As of late November, about 31,000 trial loans have been made permanent, which requires at least three on-time payments under the trial program and proof of income.

BARTOW, Fla. – Jan. 5, 2010 – It’s not too early to file for a property tax exemption for next year, according to Polk County Property Appraiser Marsha Faux, Faux said filing now will allow property owners to beat the rush that normally occurs early in the year as people try to beat the March 1 deadline.

Faux said her staff is accepting applications for homestead, portability, widow, widower, disability, veterans, senior, religious and charitable exemptions as well as applications for agricultural classification, also known as greenbelting.
