Payment Options

###What is it?###
[Indent]
A schedule that breaks down how principal and interest are applied with each monthly payment throughout the life of a loan. 
- Usually provided at Closing. 
[/Indent]

###Where is it?###
[Indent]
Located near the bottom of the [Payments] (/servicing/payments) page in your online account. 

It will look similar to this:
![Amortization Schedule](--image_host--/images/help-center/--brand_name--/images/amortization-schedule.png)
[/Indent]

###Why can't I see it?###
[Indent]
There are numerous reasons why the amortization schedule may not be available for all accounts, including account status, interest rate, and loan type. 

If you don’t see it, you can request one via chat, the [message center] (/message_center), or by calling our Customer Service department at 833-685-2565.
[/Indent]

###How can extra payments change my amortization schedule?###
[Indent]
Using our [mortgage payoff calculator] (/calculators/payoff), you can see how any amount of extra principal can change not only how quickly you pay off the mortgage, but also how much total interest you’ll end up paying. 
[/Indent]


Describes amortization schedule, where to view yours, and how to calculate changes

Amortization Schedule Information

Biweekly AutoPay will automatically draft a half-payment from your account **every 2 weeks** (14 days). There will be 26 withdrawals a year. There will be 2 months during the year when a 3rd half-payment will be drafted and posted to your account, as a principal payment. The 2 extra half-payments will help reduce the overall interest you pay on your loan and accelerate your payoff.

Eligibility:
- Account must **not** be enrolled in monthly AutoPay. (You can manage your AutoPay settings [here] (/servicing/payments/autopay/new).)
- Account must be paid **1 month in advance**. (The 2 withdrawals made each month will be applied as your next month’s payment.)

Call us at 833-685-2567 to get started.

###Grace Period###
[Indent]
Your grace period is a set number of days after your contractual due date when we’ll still accept your payment **without charging a late fee**. 
- The number of days is outlined in your Note.
- Check your statement for the exact date when penalties and interest are added.
[/Indent]

###Late Payments###
[Indent]
Payments are considered late, and late fees are assessed, **at midnight when your grace period ends** and are calculated as outlined in your Note. 
- If you may not be able to make your payment on time, please [call us] (/contact_us) and let us know.
[/Indent]

[Note]
**_Reminder:_** AutoPay helps prevent late fees!
[/Note]


Explains a grace period and when payments are considered late

Grace Period and Late Payments

Here’s how to mail your payment:

1. Write a check or get a money order payable to “Mr. Cooper.”

2. Include the detachable coupon from the bottom of your latest monthly statement and your check or money order in an envelope addressed to:

[Indent]
Mr. Cooper  
PO Box 650783  
Dallas, TX 75265    
[/Indent]

Once we receive your payment, it may take a few days to reflect on your account. However, your official payment date will be the date we receive it.

[Note]
**Note:** When sending additional funds that require special posting instructions, such as additional principal or fees, please indicate that on your payment coupon. 
- If you don’t have a payment coupon, please include the posting instructions on **a separate note** included with your payment. **Note:** Posting instructions written on the check or other form of payment will not be followed.
- If we don’t receive posting instructions, or they aren’t on a separate note, your payment will be applied according to your payment hierarchy plan. 
[/Note]

(You can also set up AutoPay by printing, completing, and mailing us this [form] (https://apolloimage.blob.core.windows.net/images/Support/MrC_ACH_ONEPAGE_SEPT14.pdf).)
[/Indent]
###Making Changes###
[Indent]Change your payment **amount**, bank **account**, or payment **date** in [your AutoPay settings online] (/servicing/payments/autopay/new) at any time. New settings will take effect immediately.    

[Note]
**_Note:_**If you need to cancel your AutoPay, it must be done at least 24 hours before your next scheduled payment to stop it from being deducted.
[/Note]
[/Indent]

###Unexpected Changes to Your Automatic Payment Amount###
[Indent]
What you owe each month can be affected by things like an [escrow shortage] (/help-center/escrow/escrow-shortage-surplus), a change in your rate, or a [loan modification] (/help-center/mortgage-assistance/loan-modification-details).
- If this happens, we’ll adjust your AutoPay deduction accordingly. 
- We’ll send you a letter notifying you right away, and always before we make an AutoPay deduction in the new amount.
[/Indent]

Includes setup, making changes, and automatic payment amount adjustments

Managing Automatic Payments

###What Is It?###
[Indent]
Recasting a mortgage happens when you put down a **lump-sum payment** toward the **principal balance** and the lender [re-amortizes] (/help-center/payments/amortization-schedule) the loan. 
- Since you are paying down your principal by a large amount, your **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 prior to 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 re-amortized, 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"/]

###Requirements and Details of a Recast###
[Indent]
If you are eligible, here are some details to keep in mind:
- **Minimum Amount** – Mr. Cooper requires 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, GNMA-backed loans are not eligible for recast. 

- **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. 
[/Indent]


###Recast Process at Mr. Cooper###
[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.

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

5. We will re-amortize your mortgage loan accordingly. 

6. You will see your new monthly payment amount reflected in your monthly billing statement, as of the effective date. 
[/Indent]
