Once we receive your application for assistance, we will assign you to a skilled Loss Mitigation Specialist. This person is also known as your “single point of contact” or "SPOC".
It is very important to stay in touch with your single point of contact throughout the entire process. Be sure he or she always has the best phone number and times of day to reach you.
You will also receive written notices. For instance, we will advise you whether your application is complete and, if not, any documents and information that are missing. You’ll also be notified when we submit your complete application to underwriting and when we are ready to discuss the specific option or options we can offer.
