Elements of Consideration Agreeing to a “legal detriment” means agreeing to do something that one is not obligated to do or to agree to refrain from doing something that one has the legal right to do. The latter type of consideration is known as a “forbearance.”
A Forbearance Agreement allows the Lender to preserve, rather than waive, the default, while also obtaining key releases from the Borrower and allowing for strategic and customized modifications to the relationship.
Briefly, forbearance is when a bank agrees not to foreclose on the borrower in exchange for a change in the terms. Most lenders were willing to offer forbearance in the early days of the crisis.
For example, forbearance can be helpful if your home was damaged in a natural disaster, you had unexpected medical costs, or you lost your job. Forbearance does not erase or decrease the amount you owe on your mortgage. You have to repay any missed or reduced payments.
A Forbearance Agreement can be a versatile tool after a default has occurred. In a Forbearance Agreement, the Lender specifically preserves the Borrower's default, but agrees to forbear on collection for a specified period in exchange for certain accommodations from the Borrower.
A letter of agreement is only legally binding if both parties sign the document. If only one person signs the letter of agreement, then it is considered to be non-binding.
