MORTGAGE SERVICING TRANSFER DISCLOSURE

NOTICE TO MORTGAGE LOAN APPLICANTS: THE RIGHT TO COLLECT YOUR

MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS MAY BE TRANSFERRED. FEDERAL LAW

GIVES YOU CERTAIN RELATED RIGHTS. READ THIS STATEMENT AND SIGN

IT ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS.

Because you are applying for a mortgage loan covered by the Real Estate Settlement

Procedures Act (RESPA) you have certain rights under that Federal law. This statement tells

you about those rights. It also tells you what the chances are that the servicing for this loan

may be transferred to a different loan servicer. Servicing refers to collecting your principal

interest and escrow account payments, if any. If you loan servicer changes, there are certain

procedures that must be followed. This statement generally explains those procedures.

Transfer Practices and Requirements

If the servicing of your loan is assigned, sold, or transferred to a new servicer, you must be

given written notice of that transfer. The present loan servicer must send you notice in writing

of the assignment, sale, or transfer of the servicing not less than 15 days before the effective

date of the transfer. The new loan servicer must also send you notice within 15 days after the

effective date of the transfer. The present servicer and the new servicer may combine this

information in one notice so long as the notice is sent to you 15 days before the effective date

of the transfer. The 15 day period is not applicable if a notice of prospective transfer is

provided to you at settlement. The law allows a delay in the time (not more than 30 days

after a transfer) for servicers to notify you under certain limited circumstances when your

servicer is changed abruptly. This exception applies only if your servicer is fired for cause, is

in bankruptcy proceedings, or is involved in a conservatorship or receivership initiated by a

Federal agency.
