Loan modification enables distressed mortgage holders to reduce their principal and interest. But statistics show many American mortgage holders cant tap into the benefit of loan modification.

According to a Wall Street Journal piece on mortgages,

Most delinquent mortgages aren’t available for sale because they are locked up in so-called private-label securities (the ones packaged by Wall Street during the boom) or in the hands of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

What this means is, Although a mortgage company has issued the loan, the loan is owned by third parties. The rules governing this arrangement prevent the issuer from modifying the loans. A modification would subject the servicing firm to the risk of lawsuits by the owners of the securities.

Because of this tight arrangement the mortgage companies find their hands tied and they cant help their borrowers.
