For the past twenty years, three standard mortgage practices have occurred behind the scenes during the mortgage process:
- Verification of Employment (VOE)
- Changing of the “mortgagee clause” on your homeowner’s insurance (HOI) declaration page
- Credit supplements, such as a Verification of Mortgage (VOM) or supplements to verify credit card or student loan monthly payments
In the
past these three procedures have usually occurred without the
applicant’s knowledge. The lender was just required to send in a copy of
the applicant’s signed Borrower’s Authorization that gave written
permission to release information. But privacy policies have tightened
on the employer, HOI, and consumer-credit levels, and these standard
practices now need the mortgage applicant’s verbal approval before they
are completed.
Likewise, if your HOI company lets you know they have received a request from Miracles Happen, LLC to change the mortgagee clause (basically just changing the lender name) on your insurance declaration page, please give your permission to make the change.
You may also receive a phone call from our credit vendor, Credit Plus. This is the credit agency that Miracles Happen uses to pull your initial credit report. As you work with Credit Plus quickly, you will need to provide any needed information or perform any requested conference calls with your current creditors. This will help to expedite the underwriting process. If you ever feel uncomfortable returning a call to Credit Plus or providing them with any requested information, please feel free to call us (Miracles Happen, LLC) contact first to verify their authenticity.
Following these three basic suggestions will help your team at Miracles Happen, LLC prepare your loan file for underwriting in a timely manner. Please be sure to call at anytime to discuss further. We look forward to speaking with you soon.
