Performing Loan Servicing      $25.00/ Month

Any Loan that is current, one or two months delinquent, according to its original or modified terms

Under Performing Loan Servicing, the RESPA Hello package is sent out to the borrower at the time of boarding. Each loan is assigned to an agent who will monitor and make sure that the borrower continues to make their payments on time. The agent will make contact with the borrower to remind them of when the payment is due, and will also set them up on ACH Payments if so desired.  Monthly statements are sent out to the borrower 15 days before the due date.  Borrowers who missed payments for  two (2) consecutive months, will automatically get switched to Non-Performing.

Wrap Loan Servicing      $45.00/ Month

Like Performing Loan Servicing, Atlantic Pearl will collect payments from your borrower and disburse payments to your underlying mortgage.  Note Holder will provide servicer with a copy of current mortgage statement for underlying mortgage. Payments to the underlying mortgage will be made by servicer via check.  Please allow at least 60 days to setup payment.

*See Wrap Loan Servicing tab for additional information

Non-Performing Loan Servicing        $95.00/ Month

Any Loan that has missed the 3rd consecutive month, or more.

Under Non-Performing Loan Servicing, the RESPA Hello package is sent out to the borrower of the delinquent loan at the time of boarding. Each loan is assigned to an agent who will work with the borrower at the direction of the Lender to turn the delinquent loan into a performing loan, by restructuring the loan or by foreclosing. Monthly statements are sent out to the borrower 15 days before the due date. Late notices are sent to the borrower at 15 days, 31 days, and 45 days delinquent.  After the loan has been restructured and the borrower has made payments for three (3) consecutive months, the loan will automatically be switched to the Performing Loan Servicing Program.

No Collections Loan Servicing        $45.00/ Month

North Carolina Excluded

Loss mitigation performed by client or Third-party service

* Fees subject to change

Payment Due Date

Please consider that if the underlying mortgage and the new buyer have the same payment date, you risk a short turnaround time for the underlying mortgage payment to be made. We recommend a different due date from underlying mortgage, at least 15 days prior to underlying mortgage due date.

(funds sent to the servicer must clear before they are disbursed. Money orders, Cashier’s Check, and Cash are given immediate credit. A personal check is given a 5 day hold to ensure the funds clear before funds will be disbursed).

Payment Changes

The Note Holder should provide servicer with copy of yearly escrow analysis from underlying mortgage. If there is a change in payment, who will decide on the new payment plan action, the new buyer or the note holder?  In cases where there is a shortage in escrow, mortgage companies offer several options to handle the change. Who will decide on what option to take?

Service does not hold escrow account we just “pass through” the escrows to the underlying mortgage.

Past Due Payment

The servicer will contact the Note Holder once the grace period has come. The Note holder can wait until payment come in or will have make payment and get “reimbursed” for payment.

Late Fee

Consider the amount of late fee you will collect. In most standard servicing agreements, the late fees are split 50/50 between servicer and note holder. Ensure that the late fee covers the late fee for the underlying mortgage completely, after servicer has collected their portion.

Insurance

Will the current policy be transferred to the new buyer? Will the new buyer have to obtain their own policy?

Recommend that current policy remain intact and add new borrower as additional insured.

Prepay Underlying Mortgage

We recommend that the payment to underlying mortgage be 1 month ahead. This will help in the event that payment to servicer is late or delayed.
