Why Your Payment May Change

###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 on the [Amortization Schedule] (/servicing/payments/show_amortization_schedule) tab in the [Payments] (/servicing/payments) section of 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 the [Message Center] (/message_center) or by [ChatLink]chatting with us[/ChatLink].
[/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] (/servicing/payments/additionals_only/new) can change not only how quickly you pay off the mortgage, but also how much total interest you’ll end up paying.

###What It Is    
[Indent] 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 the account, as a principal payment. 
- The 2 extra half-payments will help **reduce the overall interest** you pay on the loan and **accelerate the payoff**. 
[Note]
**Note:** There are no fees for using Biweekly AutoPay.
[/Note]
[/Indent]

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

###Setting Up     
[Indent]
[Setting up AutoPay] (/servicing/payments/autopay/new)—Biweekly or Monthly—is quick, easy, and free. 
You can also set up AutoPay by completing and returning one of these forms: 
- [Monthly AutoPay Authorization Form] (https://storage.googleapis.com/apolloimage/images/Support/MrC_ACH_ONEPAGE_SEPT14.pdf)

###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 [contact us] (/contact_us) and let us know.

[Note]
**_Note:_** If your payment arrives on a [holiday](/help-center/account-help/operating-hours-holidays), we’ll post it to your account the next business day that we’re back in the office—but we’ll credit it for the **day it arrives**.
[/Note]
[/Indent]

[Note]
**_Tip:_** Being set up on [AutoPay](/servicing/payments/autopay/new) helps prevent late fees!
[/Note]

Grace Period and Late Payments

Here’s how and where to mail your payment:
[Indent]
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:_** If your payment arrives on a [holiday](/help-center/account-help/operating-hours-holidays), we’ll post it to your account the next business day that we’re back in the office—but we’ll credit it for the **day it arrives**.
[/Note]
[/Indent]


###Special Posting Instructions###
[Indent]
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. 

[/Indent]
[Note]
**_Tip:_** Being set up on [AutoPay](/servicing/payments/autopay/new) helps prevent late fees!

Making an Online Payment

###Setting Up###
[Indent]
[Setting up AutoPay] (https://www.mrcooper.com/servicing/payments/autopay/new) is quick, easy, and free.    
- First, select the payment **frequency**—Monthly or Biweekly, if eligible. 
    - **Monthly:**    
This option maintains the original payoff timeframe and loan terms.    
    - **Biweekly:**    
This option helps reduce the overall interest paid on the loan and accelerates the payoff by making two extra half payments each year.
- Then just choose a payment **start date**, confirm the payment **amount**, and enter a bank **account**. 

We’ll automatically deduct the payments going forward.

[Note]
**_Note:_**: There are no fees for using AutoPay.
[/Note]

You can also set up AutoPay by completing and returning one of these forms:
- [Monthly AutoPay Authorization Form] (https://storage.googleapis.com/apolloimage/images/Support/MrC_ACH_ONEPAGE_SEPT14.pdf) 
- [Biweekly AutoPay Authorization Form] (https://storage.googleapis.com/apolloimage/images/ChatDocuments/ACH%20Biweekly%20Application.pdf)

[/Indent]
###Making Changes###
[Indent]Change the 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, unless there’s already a draft scheduled within the next 24 hours. 

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

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

Managing Automatic Payments (AutoPay)

###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]
