If at any time during the delinquency the servicer has achieved QRPC and has not obtained a resolution to the delinquency, the servicer must send the borrower a Borrower Solicitation Package, if a Borrower Solicitation Package has not previously been sent.
A Borrower Solicitation Package consists of the following documents:
Borrower Solicitation Letter (Form 745), or equivalent; and
Mortgage Assistance Application (Form 710), or equivalent, provided that the equivalent form requests the same financial information and documentation, hardship information, and attestations from the borrower.
Note: The servicer is authorized to include IRS Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript (IRS Form 4506T-EZ) or, if the servicer is aware that the borrower is self-employed or files IRS Form 1040 on a fiscal tax year, IRS Request for Transcript of Tax Return (IRS Form 4506-T), in the Borrower Solicitation Package.
If the servicer has not achieved QRPC or obtained a resolution to the delinquency by the 45th day of delinquency, the servicer must send either a Borrower Solicitation Letter (Form 745), or equivalent, or a Borrower Solicitation Package.
Note: If the servicer customizes Form 745, it must make the letter available to Fannie Mae upon request and it must retain references to the Homeowner’s HOPE™ Hotline Number (1-888-995-HOPE) within the Borrower Solicitation Package.
The servicer is authorized to
mail, fax, or electronically transmit copies of Form 745, or equivalent, and other documents associated with the Borrower Solicitation Package to a borrower; or
permit a borrower to copy, print, or download a copy of such documents via a secure servicer-provided Internet website.
