Case Escalations: Power to the Homeowner

Have you applied for a loan modification and felt that your servicer did not properly review you for HAMP and other Making Home Affordable programs? Perhaps your servicer lost your documents or failed to provide you with the proper update on your file? Well, what are you waiting for? Escalate your case today and demand your servicer to be in accordance with the MHA guidelines!

Homeowners may contact the MHA Hotline at 888-995-HOPE to request assistance in the escalation of their cases. The MHA Support Center, acting as an intermediary between the homeowner and servicer, ensures that the servicer is complying with the MHA guidelines and is reviewing homeowners’ case escalations in a timely fashion. However, homeowners may also contact their servicers directly or authorize their attorneys to go through the HAMP Solution Center (HSC) to seek resolution. No matter what route is taken, it may take up to 30 or more days for an escalated case to be reviewed and resolved, so homeowners should act immediately if they believe to have been wrongly denied a MHA Program.

Case escalations give power to the homeowner and keep disorganized servicers in check. Please go here if you would like to know how to escalate your case today!
