Forbearance Terms Eased for Freddie’s Borrowers
Freddie Mac gave unemployed homeowners who are struggling to pay mortgages owned or guaranteed by the company a break on Friday when it eased its temporary forbearance restrictions. Effective February 1, Freddie Mac servicers will no longer need prior approval from the government sponsored enterprise (GSE) before extending forbearance of up to six month’s duration to its borrowers who have lost their jobs. Servicers can also seek preapproval for a second six month period of forbearance for those borrowers if needed.Read the entire article from above
