At the end of the forbearance, the lender communicates with you to determine if you can go back to making regular mortgage payments.
Forbearance is the intentional action of abstaining from doing something. In the context of the law, it refers to the act of delaying from enforcing a right, obligation , or debt .
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.
Duration of Mandatory Forbearances Mandatory forbearances may be granted for no more than 12 months at a time. If you continue to meet the eligibility requirements for the forbearance when your current forbearance period expires, you may request another mandatory forbearance.
If you're still in your initial forbearance mortgage period, you can ask your servicer for an extension. Some servicers will extend forbearance for as long as 12 months, or in some cases, even longer. You'll need to speak to the servicer to get approval for a second or extended forbearance period.
Consideration could be a promise, performance, forbearance, or property with legal value, but the economic benefit is not required. A gift or gratuitous promise cannot be a consideration for they have no bargaining. The past performance also cannot be a consideration as there is no exchange.
