How can I avoid late fees while my loan is being transferred? I have not received information on where to send my payment, and my payment due date is approaching.
While your payments are still due during the transfer period as defined in your original loan agreement, we will not charge you a late fee, report to credit bureaus, or treat any delayed payments as late for sixty (60) days after the transfer effective date.
What if I had an escrow account with my prior servicer?
Your escrow account, as wells as your property and insurance information will transfer from your prior servicer to Carrington. We will make sure your bills continue to be paid on time. We complete an escrow analysis within the first sixty (60) days of your loan transfer to ensure your escrow account has sufficient funds for the upcoming year.

Any property tax exemption will transfer to Carrington. Please remember that tax exemptions are completed through your local tax assessor. You may need to renew or reapply each year depending on your tax assessor’s requirements.

Depending on when your loan was transferred to Carrington, you will receive a statement from Carrington as well as your previous servicer.
