Homeowners Entering HAMP Modifications at Steady Rate

HAMP Program Snapshot

2

• New permanent modifications have averaged 30,000 per month for the last six
months. New trial modifications have averaged 27,000 per month over the
same period. The total number of permanent modifications started has
increased more than 45% since June.
• As of June 1, all homeowners now begin a trial modification with verified
documentation, which streamlines the conversion process to a permanent
modification.
• Homeowners in permanent modifications realize real savings, with aggregate
reductions in monthly mortgage payments totaling more than $4.5 billion,
program to date.
• As servicers continue to work through the backlog of trials lasting six months or
more, the number of these aged trials has fallen below 40,000. Reducing the
number of aged trials should free servicer resources to focus on new trial
modifications and conversions.

This Month: Performance of Permanent Modifications
• Program data indicates that homeowners in HAMP permanent modifications
are performing well over time, with re-default rates lower than industry
statistics.
• At 12 months, nearly 85% of homeowners remain in a permanent modification,
with less than 16% of homeowners missing three consecutive payments.
• Homeowners with payment reductions of more than 30% were far less likely to
become delinquent on their permanent modifications, compared with those
receiving a payment reduction of 20% or less.

Estimated eligible 60+ day delinquent loans exclude:
ƒ FHA and VA loans.
ƒ loans that are current or less than 60 days delinquent, which may be eligible for HAMP if a borrower is in imminent
default.
2 The estimated eligible 60+ day delinquent borrowers are those in HAMP‐eligible loans, minus estimated exclusions of loans on
vacant properties, loans with borrower debt‐to‐income ratio below 31%, loans that fail the NPV test, properties no longer
owner‐occupied, manufactured housing loans with title/chattel issues that exclude them from HAMP, and loans where the
investor pooling and servicing agreements preclude modification. Exclusions for DTI and NPV results are estimated using
market analytics.
3 As reported in the weekly servicer survey of large SPA servicers through December 30, 2010.
4 Data includes HAMP modifications only. Except for the two lines in the above table, FHA‐HAMP modifications are excluded
from exhibits in this report.
5 Servicers may enter new trial modifications into the HAMP system of record anytime before the loan converts to a permanent
modification.
6 A permanent modification is canceled when the borrower has missed three consecutive monthly payments. Includes 807 loans
paid off.

Note: Effective this month, the data in this report reflects the HAMP system of record as of
the monthly cycle close on or about the 17th of the month.

Note: For permanent loans aged at least 3 months as of November 30, as reported by servicers through December 17, 2010.

• The table stratifies the data by the quarter in which the permanent modification became effective and provides two separate performance metrics:
• 60+ days delinquent: All loans that have missed two or more consecutive monthly payments, including 90+ days delinquent loans.
• 90+ days delinquent: All loans that have missed three or more consecutive monthly payments.
• The table reflects the fact that loan payment status is not reported by servicers after program disqualification (90+ days delinquent). Therefore, 90+ days delinquent loans are
included in each of the 60+ days delinquent and 90+ days delinquent metrics for all future reporting periods, even though some loans may have cured or paid off following
program disqualification.
• This table reflects a total of 39,369 disqualified loans that have aged 3, 6, 9, or 12 months through the November activity period as reported by servicers through December 17.
• Servicers are required to report monthly payment information on HAMP modifications in the form of an Official Monthly Report (OMR). If a servicer does not report an OMR for a
loan in a given month, the performance of that loan is not included in the table for that month. This table reflects improved servicer OMR reporting as the modification ages,
causing the total loan count for each quarter in months 6 and beyond to be higher than the count in month 3. Reported loan counts may shift from prior reports due to servicer
data corrections.
• Once a loan is paid off, it is no longer reflected in future periods.
• This table will be published quarterly.

Making Home Affordable Program
Servicer Performance Report Through December 2010

Appendix B1: Description of Compliance Activities
Note: Areas of compliance emphasis and servicer‐specific

compliance data will be updated quarterly.

Description of Compliance Activities
Freddie Mac, serving as Compliance Agent for
Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification
Program (HAMP), has created a separate
division known as Making Home Affordable ‐
Compliance (MHA‐C). Using a risk‐based
approach, MHA‐C conducts a number of
different types of compliance activities to
assess servicer compliance with HAMP
guidelines for those servicers that have signed
a servicer participation agreement with
Treasury and for those loans for which
Treasury pays incentives (non‐GSE loans), as
described below.
On Site Reviews: Implementation – Reviews
to assess the servicer’s overall execution of the
HAMP program. Areas covered include, among
other things, solicitation, eligibility,
underwriting, document management,
payment processing, reporting, and
governance. MHA‐C performs reviews of larger
servicers on not less than a semi‐annual
schedule and reviews smaller servicers on at
least an annual schedule.
On Site Reviews: Readiness & Governance –
Reviews to assess the servicer’s preparedness
for complying with new/future HAMP
requirements or to research a trend or

potential implementation risk. MHA‐C
performs such reviews as needed, determined
by frequency of new program additions.
NPV Reviews – Reviews to assess the
servicer’s adherence to the HAMP NPV
guidelines. For those servicers that have
elected to recode the NPV model into their
own systems (recoders), MHA‐C assesses
whether the servicer’s recoded NPV model is
accurately calculating NPV and whether the
servicer’s model usage is consistent with
HAMP guidelines. Recoders are subject to
off‐site testing at least quarterly and to on‐site
reviews at least semi‐annually. For servicers
using the Treasury NPV Web Portal, MHA‐C
reviews data submissions to the Portal on a
monthly basis.
Loan File Reviews – Reviews of samples of the
servicer’s non‐performing loan portfolio
primarily to assess whether required steps in
the modification process have been
documented in the loan files and whether loan
modification decisions were appropriate. This
includes reviews of loans that have
successfully converted to a permanent
modification, to ensure they meet the HAMP
guidelines. It also includes reviews of loans
that have not been offered HAMP
modifications, to ensure that their exclusion
was appropriate (“Second Look” reviews).

MHA‐C conducts these Loan File reviews on a
statistical sample for each servicer (typically
100 loan files per larger servicer). Larger
servicers’ non‐performing loan portfolios are
sampled and reviewed on a monthly cycle.
MHA‐C statistically samples and reviews
smaller servicers’ non‐performing loan
portfolios on a quarterly or semi‐annual cycle.
Incentive Payment Reviews – Reviews to
assess the accuracy and validity of Treasury
incentive payments to borrowers and
investors, including whether borrower
payments are appropriately allocated to
borrowers’ loan principal in accordance with
HAMP guidelines. MHA‐C performs such
reviews at least annually on the largest
servicers.
As stated in the August report, beginning in the
3rd quarter of the 2010 sampling period, MHA‐
C revised its sampling strategy to sample
monthly from all servicers to provide more
consistent trending by servicer and greater
comparability of results across servicers.
Results from this new sampling strategy will be
included in the next publication of Compliance
results.

Making Home Affordable Program
Servicer Performance Report Through December 2010

Appendix B2: Areas of Compliance Emphasis
In the coming months MHA‐C will focus on the
following areas of emphasis, to ensure ongoing
compliance.
Cancellations
Servicers are required to comply with HAMP
guidance when canceling loans in HAMP trials.
The Second Look review process conducted by
MHA‐C will continue to include an evaluation of
servicers’ cancellation activities, especially those
around servicers’ timely and appropriate
decisioning and borrower communications.
MHA‐C will conduct targeted reviews of the
cancellations of aged trials over the course of
the next several months. MHA‐C will evaluate
whether servicers are making appropriate
cancellation decisions, with a specific focus on
those loans where the cancellation reason
indicates that the borrower had not made
timely payments. MHA‐C expects servicers to
provide documentation supporting cancellation
decisions and evidence that borrower
notifications are timely and include all necessary
information.
Pre‐Foreclosure Certification
Due to recent concerns around foreclosures and
the issuance of new HAMP guidance effective in
June, MHA‐C will specifically focus on pre‐
foreclosure activities and certification

requirements. Servicers may not refer any loan
to foreclosure or conduct a scheduled
foreclosure sale without first satisfying the
"reasonable effort" solicitation standard and
borrower communication requirements
described in HAMP guidelines. In addition,
within seven business days of a scheduled
foreclosure sale, servicers must provide the
foreclosure attorney or trustee with a written
certification that the servicer has satisfied the
requirements to solicit and evaluate eligible
borrowers as defined by HAMP guidelines, and
that all other available loss mitigation
alternatives have been exhausted and a non‐
foreclosure outcome could not be reached.
These reviews will include:
•Processes for satisfying the "reasonable effort"
standard and for ensuring that consideration of
HAMP and borrower notifications are executed
and appropriately documented; and
•Processes for completing consideration of
HAMP and other foreclosure alternatives, as
appropriate, prior to any foreclosure referral or
foreclosure sale; and
•Processes for providing foreclosure attorneys
or trustees with accurate and timely
certifications prior to a scheduled foreclosure
sale.

IR2 Reporting and Data Integrity
Servicers are required to submit HAMP loan‐
level data to the Program Administrator’s
system of record (IR2), and that data is required
to be accurate and consistent with source
documentation. IR2 data is used to monitor and
report on HAMP activity levels and to calculate
servicer, borrower, and investor incentive
payments. As stated in prior reports, reporting
and data integrity controls will continue to be a
focus. MHA‐C has recently conducted
preliminary data mapping exercises with the
Program Administrator and will be assessing
servicers' information technology (IT) controls
over IR2 reporting over the coming months,
with an emphasis on system interfaces and
reconciliations of data between systems.
MHA‐C will continue testing IR2 data against
source documentation, including loan files, with
particular attention on the data elements used
in the establishment of borrower payments and
the calculation of incentives. MHA‐C will also
review servicers’ calculations for accuracy and
consistency with HAMP guidelines.
