If you are having difficulties paying your mortgage, please contact us as soon as possible. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can help. Shellpoint specialists are ready to work with you and thoroughly review your situation. The process is called the "Loss Mitigation Review".

The basic steps of the Loss Mitigation Review are as follows:

Initial Review - If you are experiencing difficulty with your mortgage payments, call us to discuss your situation. Please be prepared with your loan number, the monthly pre-tax income for each borrower and information about your current financial hardship. Click Here to get started.
Document Collection and Review - If our initial review of your situation determines that your loan could be eligible for loss mitigation, most likely we will need additional documentation. Sign and return the information to us as soon as possible. Click Here to get started.
Evaluation Notice - The Evaluation Notice is the conclusion of the Loss Mitigation Review. It is a letter sent to you that describes which, if any, Loss Mitigation Option(s) that you may be eligible for.
