Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.500 Mortgage servicing generally

This subpart identifies servicing practices of lending institutions that HUD considers acceptable for mortgages insured by HUD.

Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.600 Mortgage collection action

Subject to the requirements of this subpart, mortgagees shall take prompt action to collect amounts due from mortgagors to minimize the number of accounts in a delinquent or default status. Collection techniques must be adapted to individual differences in mortgagors and take account of the circumstances peculiar to each mortgagor.

Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.614 Special forbearance

If the mortgagee finds that a default is due to circumstances beyond the mortgagor’s control, as defined by HUD, the mortgagee may grant special forbearance relief to the mortgagor in accordance with the conditions prescribed by HUD.

Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.602 Delinquency notice to mortgagor

The mortgagee shall give notice to each mortgagor in default on a form supplied by the Secretary or, if the mortgagee wishes to use its own form, on a form approved by the Secretary, no later than the end of the second month of any delinquency in payments under the mortgage. If an account is reinstated and again becomes delinquent, the delinquency notice shall be sent to the mortgagor again, except that the mortgagee is not required to send a second delinquency notice to the same mortgagor more often than once each six months.

Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.616 Mortgage modification

The mortgagee may modify a mortgage for the purpose of changing the amortization provisions by recasting the total unpaid amount due for a term not exceeding 360 months. The mortgagee must notify HUD of such modification in a format prescribed by HUD within 30 days of the execution of the modification agreement.

Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.605 Loss mitigation performance

(a) Duty to mitigate. Before four full monthly installments due on the mortgage have become unpaid, the mortgagee shall evaluate on a monthly basis all of the loss mitigation techniques provided at § 203.501 to determine which is appropriate. Based upon such evaluations, the mortgagee shall take the appropriate loss mitigation action. Documentation must be maintained for the initial and all subsequent evaluations and resulting loss mitigation actions.

Home Foreclosures: 24 C.F.R. § 203.606 Pre-foreclosure review

(a) Before initiating foreclosure, the mortgagee must ensure that all servicing requirements of this subpart have been met. The mortgagee may not commence foreclosure for a monetary default unless at least three full monthly installments due under the mortgage are unpaid after application of any partial payments that may have been accepted but not yet applied to the mortgage account.
