###Reporting Mortgage Scams###
[Indent]
It is imperative to report any potential mortgage related scams right away.
- [Contact us] (/contact-us) if you receive suspicious phone calls, letters, or emails—especially those that require payments or changes to your mortgage terms.
- Notify the credit bureaus of strange activity.
- Notify local and federal authorities of any fraud attempts. 

[Note]
**_Note:_** Visit our [Mortgage Scams Resource Center] (https://www.mrcooper.com/blog/mortgage-scams-resource-center/) for additional tips and information. 
[/Note]
[/Indent]

###Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams###
[Indent]
A couple actions you can take to protect yourself from fraud:

- **Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication** (MFA) for an extra layer of security. This is one of the most important things you can do to secure your account. With MFA enabled, you’ll be required to enter a one-time passcode—sent to you via email or text message—every time you sign in to your account. *You can enable MFA for your Mr. Cooper account on the [Settings] (/servicing/settings) page.*

- **Create long passwords** and make sure they’re strong. One way to ensure your password is difficult to crack is to use at least 12–16 characters, with a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters (if allowed). You can also use a passphrase that’s long and easy to remember but misspell a word and use a number and a symbol for extra strength. ***Example:*** ILoveAllDogsThat4$Berk

- **Stay on guard.** Today’s scammers are sophisticated and can use tools like artificial intelligence, fake websites, and elaborate letters and contracts to trick you. They may also disguise their email addresses and phone numbers with legitimate looking numbers and addresses to lure you in.
[/Indent]

###Avoiding Mortgage Scams###
[Indent]
Here are some common “red flag” scenarios that may indicate a communication is a scam:
[Indent]
####“Free” Money (Offers to Make Payments for You)####
- **Mortgage payments on your behalf in exchange for partial reimbursement.**
These scams involve third parties making bogus payments to your account, which end up being rejected as non-sufficient funds. Though they may show you “proof” of their payment, it would only be ***in process (but not settled).***
    - ***Example:*** A scammer posing as a representative of a mortgage assistance program or deceased relative’s estate tells you a $50,000 mortgage payment will be made on your behalf but you will need to wire $5,000 back.
- **Escrow overage checks that require you to send funds back.**     
These scams involve convincing you to deposit a fraudulent check (exposing your banking information) and to send some of those funds to the scammer via a wire service, gift cards, etc.

####Incorrect Company Information (phone, email, etc.)####
- Contact phone numbers that do not begin with a toll-free area code (e.g., 800, 855, 866, etc.).    
*We **never provide personal or cell phone** contact numbers in official communications **related to homeowner assistance.***

- An email address that doesn’t end in our domain of “@mrcooper.com.”    
*Some scams may use our logo and font styles to appear legitimate, but there will always be some kind of incorrect information listed. Also watch for red flags like misspellings (i.e., mrcopper.com).*

####Payment Requests####
- Requests to make payments with “unconventional” methods. These may include:
    - **barcodes** sent via email or text message asking you to pay through **Walmart**, Green Dot, MoneyGram, or Western Union;
    - **prepaid/”Green Dot”** debit cards; or
    - **wires to an individual** (rather than Mr. Cooper).    
*You can always review our official [payment method options] (/help-center/payments/payment-options). If a requested method ***doesn’t exactly match*** one on the list, please contact us immediately.*

- Requests for up-front or advance payment to begin the modification, refinancing, or reinstatement application process. 
*We ***never charge fees*** for ***applying or approving*** loan modifications.*

- Advice to start making payments to any third party instead of us **for any reason.**

####Missing Payments####
- Payments you’ve been making that you were led to believe were going toward a trial or modification agreement but we have no record of them.     
*Please [contact us] (/contact-us) as soon as possible so we can research the issue.*

####Personal Information####
- Lists your full Social Security Number in communications.    
*We will **never** list your full Social Security Number in communications.*

####Pressuring or Aggressive Tone####
- Communications (emails, texts, and phone calls) with a sense of urgency that possibly contain your Mortgage ID number.    
*We never send mail with your loan information printed on the outside.*

- Threats of foreclosure or eviction if funds are not paid “immediately.”

- Pressure to make commitments to things you don’t fully understand.    
*Be especially careful if you’re pressured to ***sign over your deed*** or sign any paperwork you haven’t had a chance to fully review and ask questions about.*

####Suspicious or “Too good to be true” Modification Agreements####
- A trial or modification agreement from the “Underwriting Department.”    
*Our ***underwriting department never sends notifications*** directly to clients.*

- A trial or modification agreement with **extremely low** interest rates, well below industry standards.

- A loan modification agreement that was not received from a **verified** source.

- The phrases “government approved” or “official government” in descriptions of loan modification offers.    
*Government agencies like HUD, and government sponsored entities like Fannie Mae, will ***never contact you*** to offer you a loan modification or to make a payment.*

How To Share Your Concerns and Get Help

###What Is It?###
[Indent]
Recasting a mortgage happens when you put down a **lump-sum payment** toward the **principal balance** and the lender **[reamortizes] (/help-center/payments/amortization-schedule) the loan**. 
- Since you are paying down your principal by a large amount, the **monthly payment will be lowered**, but your interest rate and loan terms will remain the same. 
- You will **pay less total interest** on your loan due to the lowered principal balance. Alternatively, you would pay even less interest if you paid down the principal amount without recasting and just pay the loan off early.  
[/Indent]

###How Do I Recast My Loan?###
[Indent]
Not everyone is eligible for a Recast. If you are, you will need to submit a recast request form **before** making the lump-sum payment. **Making the payment does not guarantee approval of the recast request.** Once approved, a Recast Agreement will be created that allows the loan to be reamortized, based on the lump-sum payment amount.
[/Indent]

[CallToActionBlock image="--image_host--/images/help-center/--brand_name--/images/ic-recast-document.svg" text="Submit a Recast Request" buttonText="Check Your Eligibility" buttonPath="/recast"/]

###Our Recast Process###
[Indent]
1. Check your eligibility above. 

2. Submit the recast request form and pay the recast fee, if required in your state.

3. Make the principal payment.
[Note]
**_Note:_** If the principal payment is made before submitting the form and paying the fee, the process may be delayed. 
[/Note]

4. Sign and return the Recast Agreement.
[Note]
**_Note:_** The Recast Agreement lists the new, lower monthly payment amount.
[/Note]

5. We will reamortize your mortgage loan accordingly. 

6. You will see the new monthly payment amount reflected in your monthly billing statement, as of the effective date. 
[Note]
**_Note:_** The recasting process can take up to 90 days. 
[/Note]
[/Indent]

###Requirements and Details of a Recast###
[Indent]
If you are eligible, here are some details to keep in mind:
- **Minimum Amount** – We require a minimum principal payment of $10,000.

- **Recasting Fees** – There is usually a non-refundable fee of up to $250 to recast your mortgage. 

- **Mortgage Term** – The term (length) of your mortgage remains the same. 
[Example]
**Example**
If you recast 10 years into a 30-year mortgage, you will still have 20 years left on your term.
[/Example]

- **Investor Restrictions** – Currently, government-backed loans are not eligible for recast. This includes loans with investors like VA, FHA, GNMA, and USDA.

- **Loan Type** – Interest-only, Option ARMs, and commercial loans are also not eligible.

- **Credit Worthiness** – There are no credit checks or requirements for mortgage recasts.

- **Interest Rate** – Your interest rate stays the same, which could be a benefit over refinancing if you’ve already locked in a low rate—or a negative if your rate is particularly high for the current market. 

- **Recent Transfers** – Recently transferred accounts may need to wait 90 days before recasting. 
[/Indent]

There are 2 ways to remove a spouse’s name from the mortgage:
- **Release of liability** – You can ask your lender for a release of liability. This is a document that releases a borrower from their obligation to pay back the loan. The spouse remaining on the mortgage needs to qualify for the new loan using only their income and assets.    
[Note]
**_Note:_** This option is investor specific, there’s no guarantee that it will be approved, and there are fees associated with the transaction.
[/Note]

- **Refinance** – The only other option is to refinance the mortgage. When you do this, the spouse remaining on the mortgage needs to qualify for the new loan using only their income and assets.

###What Is It?###
[Indent]
A verification of mortgage (VOM) is an official statement that verifies your existing loan terms and provides a rating of the payment history, including if the loan was current or delinquent for each month listed. It reflects only the most recent 12 months of your loan, excluding the current month.
