Help with payment challenges

​​​Know your options. 

When you’re facing financial challenges, keeping up with your mortgage can be difficult. There is so much information available, at times it’s hard to know where to turn. Our priority will always be to keep you in your home. Our dedicated team of experts will walk you through your options, which may include: 


In some cases the most appropriate solution may be leaving the home. If walking away from the home is the most feasible option, we may be able to help avoid the foreclosure process with either a short sale or deed in lieu agreement. If you think you may need help, reach out to one of our experts to discuss your options. 
​

Hardships can happen unexpectedly. 

We offer a variety of mortgage assistance programs designed as alternatives to foreclosure, including:​

  • Loan modifications
    can change the terms of a mortgage loan.
  • Forbearance plans
    can temporarily suspend mortgage payments.
  • Short sales
    aim to quickly sell a home for less than the amount owed.
  • Short pay plans
    are designed to 'payoff' a home at a reduced price.
  • Deed in Lieu plans
    require homeowners to transfer their home's title to the bank that holds the mortgage.
  • Temporary suspension of payments
    can help homeowners avoid foreclosure and get back on track.

​If you need a mortgage assistance program, you may be required to provide certain information including (but not limited to):

  • Income verification
  • Prior year's W-2 or Tax Return (if self-employed)
  • Copy of P&L statement (if self-employed)
  • Letter of hardship
  • Current bank statements

When you submit your information, it must include a completed and executed SLS Mortgage Assistance Application (RMA). The RMA outlines additional documentation that must be provided with your application. This additional documentation is based on your applicable financial situation and intent with the home. 

View the short video below to learn how to complete the RMA form, and visit our forms page​ should you need additional forms and guides.
