INDIANA (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A record number of Hoosiers are trying to save their homes from foreclosure by modifying their mortgages.

The Homeowners Preservation Foundation says there were 5,000 mortgage modifications statewide during the third quarter of last year.

That's four times higher than in all of 2007.

Some homeowners even ended up back in default.
