Liquidation Options
Depending on your circumstances, staying in your home may not be possible; however, a short sale or Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure may be a better choice than foreclosure.
A short sale is an option if your home is worth less than your mortgage payoff amount. You’ll need to list your property with a real estate agent, obtain a contract and apply for assistance. In some cases, relocation assistance may be available.
If you’re unable to sell your home, a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure allows you to transfer ownership to Navy Federal Credit Union, upon approval.
Next Steps
To see if you’re eligible for any of our home-retention or liquidation options, complete the Borrower Response Package and follow the enclosed instructions to submit it to us. A mortgage default specialist will contact you to discuss next steps. Continue making your mortgage payments as scheduled, even after you've submitted your request.
Get Started with your application.
Mortgage Loss Mitigation Escalation and Appeals
If you’d like to escalate your case, we have a process designed to address specific instances that meet the following criteria:
- You receive a loss mitigation denial letter and would like to appeal the reason for denial.
- You didn't receive adequate notice from us about your foreclosure alternatives.
- Your loan was referred to foreclosure prematurely, or we didn't suspend foreclosure activities when we were required to.
- Your completed application for assistance wasn't properly evaluated or was improperly denied.
- You've retained an attorney to help you resolve an outstanding mortgage dispute or reasonably believe your loan is being serviced in a fraudulent manner.
Send us a letter describing the specific reasons your case fits one of the criteria above. If you’re filing an appeal, you must have supporting documentation.
Send your letter to:
