Loan Repayment Plan Options
NBT Bank offers two repayment plans where a portion of the past due payment is made either within a three (3) or six (6) month period. This payment is in addition to your current monthly payment, which works quickly to bring your loan current.
Loan Modification/Forebearance Option
Under this option, you may reach an agreement with NBT Bank to change the original terms of your mortgage—such as payment amount, length of loan, interest rate, etc. In most cases, when your mortgage is modified, you can reduce your monthly payment to a more affordable amount.
Here's how the Loan Modification Option works:
