Ten years ago my wife and I faced some Financial Difficulties so we took a second mortage of $50,000.00 out on our home. We were young and had no clue that the intrest rate was 12.975 percent.
We started to pay on this mortgage, and saw that we were only paying 50.00 to the principal each month, and 562.00 to the interest. At the time we tried to get rid of this mortgage, and GMAC would  not help us out.  For the last ten years we have paid over $60,000.00 in interest, and we still owe 43,935.00 dollars on this loan. We have contacted GMAC, and begged and pleaded with them to please lower the interest rate so we can pay off this loan. They have told us many times that they cannott do anything for us because my wifes credit was not perfect. We filled out  loan modification papers only to be denied because we are not behind on our payments.

We barely make enough to make this payment ,and we are at the end of the line. Its not fair that we will lose our home because GMAC will not lower our interest rate. How much more money do they need to take from us. All we are asking for is help. I think that $60,000.00 is more then enough that we have paid already, and we still have to pay the 43,935.00 in order to keep our home.

GMAC Mortgage is not a fair company, and  to me they are nothing better then a loan shark. The only question i would like to know is Why are they allowed to claim chapter 11 bankruptcy. I know that they have ripped us off over the last ten years, and they are not willing to work with us  unless we stop making our mortgage payments. If anyone out there has any advice it sure would help me out a great deal.  this is no life when you have to struggle to put food on your table in order for you to not lose your house. Its not that we dont want to make our payments we just want GMAC to work with us and not ruin our credit anymore then it alreday has been.

I have run into a wall with this company. When we call no one at GMAC has any anwsers for us.
Why is it that all of the big companies get bailed out, and the middle class hard working people are losing thier homes.Its tough when there is a loss income, and you have to choose to put food on the table or keep a roof over your head. Any help in solving our issues would be greatly appreciated.

I have a question on part of your posting...

"We barely make enough to make this payment ,and we are at the end of the line. Its not fair that we will lose our home because GMAC will not lower our interest rate. "

Does it say anywhere in your loan agreement that once they receive what you feel is a fair amount, they should just say thanks and forget the rest?

What would you do if they felt they weren't receiving enough money and asked YOU to pay them more....would that be alright?

You need to seek financial counseling ASAP and good luck, as you know, you got yourselves in this mess and GMAC is NOT going to bail you out.  You both signed the agreement on the loan.

Being young and naive is NOT a good reason to alter the terms of the agreement...Sorry. No, I DON'T work for GMAC or ANY other financial institution, never have.

Not a rip-off

"We were young and had no clue that the intrest rate was 12.975 percent."

The interest rate is noted on your copy of the signed agreement.

You didn't supply the term of the loan but it appears to be about 16-years. $50000 at 12.975% is about $619 a month. You have been paying $612 a month but that is as close as I am able to calculate (with an amortization schedule) utilizing the info you supplied. At that rate and term the final cost to repay a $50000 loan is $118871 so you have not been ripped off.

Basic math (without a calculator) should tell you that $600 a month equals $7200 a year or $72000 over 10-years. Add 50% for a 15-year agreement for an estimated result of $108000.

"I think that $60,000.00 is more then enough that we have paid already"

That would be an interest rate of 3.75% over ten years. You agreed to pay 12.975% for about 16-years.

"I know that they have ripped us off over the last ten years"

It isn't a rip-off just because the lender is not willing to alter the terms of the loan.
