Loan Modification In The United States
Loan modification is the systematic alteration of mortgage loan agreements. Loan modifications have practiced in the United States since the 1930s. During the Great Depression, loan modification programs took place at the state level in an effort to reduce levels of loan foreclosures.
During the so-called "Great Recession" of the early 21st century, loan modification became a matter of national policy, with various actions taken to alter mortgage loan terms to prevent further economic destabilization.

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
