COVID forbearance modifications lost during mortgage servicer transfers
Homeowners granted COVID forbearance modifications find their agreements voided when their loans are transferred to new servicers, resulting in unexpected penalty charges on accounts that should have been current. The receiving servicer has no record of the modification, and borrowers bear the burden of proving the original agreement existed. This coordination failure between lenders exposes consumers to foreclosure risk despite having followed proper procedures.
