- Repayment Plan: A scheduled payment arrangement that results in bringing your loan current at its conclusion.
To expedite your review please begin to gather the following documents we will need to decision your loan for any of the options listed above.

Do you offer mortgage deferment for COVID- 19 impacted income?
Patricia, your servicer does not monitor this website. You will need to contact your servicer by calling the number on your mortgage statement. They will be able to tell you if you are eligible for a COVID-19 payment deferment options once your forbearance period is up.
If you are able to take a forebearance can your mortgage payments be added to the end of your note for people affected by the Coronavirus.
Hi Sharron, if your mortgage is federally backed, which is likely the case with this service, you will not be required to make all payments as a lump sum. Please call your servicer and ask them what your option will be after forbearance.
Don’t be surprised if you are asked if you can make all the payments at once, but you will never be required to.
In most cases, you will be offered payment deferment as one of those options. Payment deferment moves these skipped payments to the end of the loan, and must be paid back if you sell or refinance in the future.
Well, that not true. What will happen is that you will be asked to refi the mortgage at a higher interest rate. My rate is at 2.25 percent. They wanted me to refi at 6.5 percent which would have raised my mortgage payment to almost $1000.00 more a month. Now I have to scramble to make higher payments for the next three months just to keep my 2.25 interest rate. The deferment made things worst. I was told when we first took the deferment that that the balance would be put at the end of the term and that the interest rate would not change. Now UMW wants me to pay back all the Deferred money just to keep my 2.25 rate. Pennymac never did that to us. I plan on opening a case with the VA once I pay back all the deferred amount. I once worked for Countrywide Home loans before the mortgage Meltdown so I am very aware of how this all works. I kind of wonder how many other people are in this same situation.
I am in exact boat. And now, I’m going to have to secure an attorney. Maybe a class action against these servicers?
Did they not offer you a loan modification? I’m in the process now of applying. I’m so confused by all the answers everyone gives and gets.
I’m currently in the same situation they said and did the same thing to me I think it’s a huge scam honestly. It’s shame how they do this to people especially veterans!
