Recently modified my loan, and now my payments are almost double???

Did you read all the papers of the modification, the details of that new payment should have been stated in them. If so and its different then I would contact a good lawyer.

Hum.. typically, when you get a modified loan, the payments go down, not up.. But you would need to read all the paperwork associated with the modification.. usually, the payment can progressively get higher as years pass, but you say your loan was just modified, so this doesn't make sense.. could you possibly be the "Trial" period? if so, the lender could be asking you to make these payments as a form of test.. but regardless, you should have paperwork you can reference to see why the payments are what they are.. if the paperwork is too complicated for you to understand, try contacting a lawyer and have them explain it to you..

Were you in an interest only loan prior? If so, when they modify your loan they have to do principal and interest.
