Homeowners struggling to pay face servicers who repeatedly request the same documentation without ever issuing a modification decision. The process is opaque with no SLAs communicated to the borrower. This leaves distressed homeowners in limbo unable to plan financially or seek alternatives.
Mortgage servicers lose continuity across forbearance applications, forcing customers to re-explain their case every call
A borrower's forbearance application stalls for months because the mortgage servicer's representatives have no record of prior conversations, requested forms never arrive, and no single case owner tracks the file end-to-end. Each call starts from scratch despite a documented, ongoing request.
