1st mortgagee, PHH is requiring Citi, 2nd Mortgagee to provide Deficiency Waiver. PHH is giving defiency waiver. Borrower is investor recently discharged from bankruptcy. Citi, who is getting the usual $6,000 says no.
Since PHH is not giving waiver out of the goodness of their heart I'm assuming the borrower bankruptcy is the reason. If so anybody have an opinion why Citi is unwilling?

Good grief! Two notes..ok, I know it's going to be difficult, but so what? Shorts Sales are never a slam dunk, and I've done so many now that that just didn't deter me.
The first is with OCWEN, who have become much easier to deal with. It's the second that have caused me problems. Real Time Solutions..aaargh!! So vague, and so not interested in making things…

I went to OPS and they told me the reason it is taking to long to respond is because each agent has over 200 files to work! I was told by another…

The processor sent me another blank Request for Mortgage Assistance pkg(RMA) and says that the RFI PARTIAL LETTER is included in the income doc package? I can't find this form in the pkg? No response to my email or voice mail message to her. I called the liquidation dept and they said they could only send a message to processor to contact me. Anyone know what this document is? Appreciate it!
