When are my payments due?
I need to make a late payment
If you`re not able to make your payment on time this month, we understand, it happens sometimes.
Please give us a call at 855-670-4944 and let us know. We are always there for you to do everything we can to understand your situation and work out an arrangement that works best for you (and the sooner you call, the more we can help).
We`re your homeownership partner, and we want you to know that you`re never on your own.
What exactly is a grace period?
A little bit of grace can go a long way, and we understand that. Your grace period is a specific number of days after your official due date--during this time you can make a payment without it being considered `late.`
If you make your payment after your grace period, it may pick up some late fees. And nobody wants to have late fees applied to their monthly payment amount.
Most late charges are assessed after the close of business on the 16th of each month. If the 16th falls on a weekend or holiday, late charges are assessed after the close of business on the next business day. (See your mortgage agreement or your monthly billing statement for your loan`s specific late fee and grace period).
If you`re uncertain if you`ll be able to make your payment before the end of your grace period, please call our Homeowner Care dept at 855-670-4944. We are always there for you to do everything we can to understand your situation and work out an arrangement that works best for you.
Can my autopay or payment change?
It`s possible it could change. The things that could affect the amount you owe each month are a change in your rate (a recent ARM adjustment); a loan modification; or an escrow payment change. If you`re interested in learning how Escrow can change your payment, check out our Escrow Frequently Ask Questions.
But breathe a sigh of relief, if the amount you owe does change, we`ll adjust your payment accordingly in order to cover it. And, of course, we`ll be sure to notify you right away.
If you have an ARM loan, you`ll be notified by letter before any changes go into effect. Depending on the specifics of your mortgage agreement, your monthly payment amount could increase or decrease.
Of course, if the change causes an increase in your payment amount that you believe will be difficult for you to manage, please call our Homeowner Care Dept at 855-670-4944 right away. We are always there for you to do everything we can to understand your situation and work out an arrangement that works best for you.
