Central Issues to Loan Servicers

Huge investments are being made to originate and acquire valuable mortgage servicing rights. The value of these servicing rights can be dramatically reduced if prepayment speeds are greater than anticipated, if delinquency and foreclosure experience exceeds expectations, or if loss occurs from loans that have been improperly set-up and adjusted incorrectly. Profit pressures demand that servicing rights be fully leveraged to deliver maximum expected returns.

Servicers cannot afford to have the value of their most important asset diminished, especially when convenient and cost-efficient solutions exist to preserve and protect these rights. Setup and adjustment errors on Adjustable & Variable Rate loans still go undetected despite pre and post-closing audits. Errors in Fixed Rate loans, though not generally as frequent, occur when payments are allocated incorrectly, and incorrect allocations corrupt amortization schedules. Due-diligence review with standard quality control does not address servicing errors...especially with ARMs! 

The MACC-TRAC ExpertAdvantage© permits servicing executives to meet and exceed internal audit committee reporting requirements, respond to borrower inquiries and be assured that loans are being serviced according to the terms of the loan documents.

ARM and VRM Servicing Error Detection

Errors in servicing adjustable and variable rate loans can be expensive to the servicer, investor and borrower .

 

FACTS TO CONSIDER!

  • MACC-TRAC© follow-up audits on loan pools continue to reveal significant over and undercharge errors ranging upward from 80%. The result: lost income, customer service issues, investor concerns.
  • The average servicing portfolio contains errors in 30% or more of all loans. Statistically, one-half of discovered errors are overcharges; one-half are undercharges.
  • The average residential borrower overcharge remains $1,500.00. Commercial errors can be many times greater!
  • Overcharges carry the liability of borrower litigation or class action lawsuits with costly settlements and legal expenses. This liability continues even after the loan has paid off.
  • Undercharges can result in investor claims!
  • A $1 billion loan pool with as little as a 3 basis points average undercharge error creates a loss of $144.23 every business hour!
  • If not adequately addressed in a loan pool acquisition contract, a new servicer may inherit prior error liability.
  • These errors and liabilities can be stopped! ARM and VRM servicing errors can be quickly and cost-effectively detected using MACC-TRAC's proprietary loan audit system MACC-TRAC / Vision Pro©
