of its several Wholesale Processing Centers.

Wholesale

Purchases loans from larger mortgage banking and bank clients

that originate, underwrite and close mortgage loans before selling

them to Wells Fargo.

Correspondent

Centralized platform for Relocation Borrowers, Affinity

Relationships, Joint Ventures, Retention Programs, Employee and

Internet originations.

Centralized

Retail

Originates loans directly to consumers via more than 10,000

mortgage consultants located in over 1,000 Mortgage Stores.

Loans are processed and underwritten at branches, one of 48

Mortgage Application Processing (MAP) centers, or through the

Service Delivery Connection (SDC) operation centers.

Mitigation

Strategies

are

subject

individual

investor

contracts.

Increased Delegated Authority

Leverage investor relationships to expand delegated

authority

Automated Programs

Speed approval process for the borrower, while ensuring

compliance to investor requirements

Modification Options

Offer traditional fixed-rate and ARM-to-fixed options

Trial Modification

Collect payments for 3 consecutive months prior to modification

completion

Extended Repayment Plans

Allow borrower more time to repay arrearages

Extended Loan Terms

Consider terms up to 40 years to create affordable payments,

capitalize arrearages and spread delinquency over longer time

Step Rate

Temporary reduction in rate to reduce payment for specific term

Pre-Foreclosure Sale

Accept payoff less than total amount due; in some cases,

provides time to market property

At-Risk Customers Solutions Align with Consumer

Financial Circumstances

Refinance

A new lien on the property with no change in ownership.

Repayment Plan

Distribute delinquent payments over period of time, usually no more

than 12 months. Monthly amount added to usual mortgage payment

Modification

Adds past-due interest and escrow to unpaid principal balance, which

is then reamortized over a new term. Rate adjustments and principal

forgiveness, where allowed.

Partial Claim

HUD advances a loan to repay the past-due interest and escrow

amounts.

Short Sale
