Assistance Options 

Repayment Plans and Payment Reduction Solutions

Repayment Plans

With a repayment plan, missed payments are added to the amount of payments coming due for a set period of time, often 3 or 6 months. Each of the payments coming due during the repayment period consists of the regular payment amount plus a portion of the total of missed payments. At the end of the repayment period, the loan will have been brought current. To forward a request for a representative to assist you, contact LoanServicing-LossMit@capfed.com. Include your name, contact information, and either the loan number or your property address.


Payment Reductions

Another type of short-term payment forbearance is a reduction of the monthly amount required to be paid. Typically, such agreements reduce the required payment to the current interest due plus escrow (if applicable). These plans reduce the required payment amount for a number of months, and the loan term is extended by an equal amount of time. To forward a request for a representative to assist you, contact LoanServicing-LossMit@capfed.com. Include your name, contact information, and either the loan number or your property address.

If a repayment plan or payment reduction has expired or a permanent solution is required, a workout solution may be a better option.


Workout Solutions

Three types of long-term, workout options are available.

Loan Modifications

Loan modifications are permanent agreements to change the terms of your loan and result in a more manageable monthly payment. Often these agreements extend the remaining term and/or reduce the interest rate of your loan. Typically, past due payments are added to the loan balance to bring the loan current. Loan modifications require an in-depth review of your specific situation. To forward a request for a representative to assist you with a loan modification, contact LoanServicing-LossMit@capfed.com. Include your name, contact information, and either the loan number or your property address.

Short Sales

Short sales allow the sale of the home without the full loan amount being repaid. Generally, short sales are used when you do not have either the ability or the desire to retain ownership of the home. A short sale must be approved by us and, if applicable, insurers or investors. The unpaid loan balance will be reported to the IRS in accordance with Federal regulations; consult your tax advisor for the impact this will have on your individual situation. To forward a request for a representative to assist you with a short sale, contact LoanServicing-LossMit@capfed.com. Include your name, contact information, and either the loan number or your property address.

Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure

Deeds-in-lieu transfer title of your home to us. A deed-in-lieu must be approved by us and, if applicable, insurers or investors. Generally, deeds-in-lieu are used when you do not have either the ability or the desire to retain ownership of the home. The unpaid loan balance will be reported to the IRS in accordance with Federal regulations; consult your tax advisor for the impact this will have on your individual situation. To forward a request for a representative to assist you with a deed-in-lieu, contact LoanServicing-LossMit@capfed.com.
