Freddie Mac turns to YouTube

New Video Shows Which Documents Can Help Reduce Repeat Calls To Servicers

McLean, VA – Freddie Mac today posted a new video on YouTube.com that shows late-paying borrowers how gathering a few financial documents before calling a mortgage servicer can cut the time needed to determine their eligibility and process their application for a loan modification under President Obama's Making Home Affordable program or Freddie Mac's other workout initiatives.

Available in English and Spanish versions, the new Freddie Mac video, “Stop Foreclosure: Documents Your Lender Needs to Help You,” can be seen at Freddie Mac’s channel on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/FreddieMacWeb.



The two-minute video shows step-by-step which documents borrowers should have on hand when they call their servicer to discuss loan modifications. These documents can cut the time a servicer will need to understand the borrower's situation, determine his or her eligibility for a workout, and process the application.

"America's servicers are handling an extraordinary volume of calls from distressed borrowers seeking an Home Affordable Modification under the President's program," said Ingrid Beckles, senior vice president of default asset management at Freddie Mac. "By taking a few moments to gather these documents borrowers can help their servicer understand their financial situation and reduce the need for repeat calls."
