I am having a problem with a Cenlar HELOC on a HAFA short sale.  First has accepted offer and is contibuting 8500.00 to the second.  Second wants 10% or 14780.00.  They have actually sent me an approval  letter asking that we send 6280.00 outside of escrow before they approve the 8500.00.  I did tell them that this is a RESPA violation and is not going to happen.  They will not budge.    HELOC was used for home purchase and is a non-deficiency loan.  Does anybody have any suggestions?CENLAR%20DEMAND.pdf

  • Luis - is this a Treasury, Fannie or Freddie  HAFA?

    • It's a HAFA.  Which is why they will not receive more than 8500.00. 

      • Understood. Treasury, Fannie and Freddie all have their own version of HAFA and escalation process may vary accordingly.  

        • Since Cenlar doesn't participate in HAFA would that make a difference? 

          • It may - I have seen success from Treasury "intervening" with non-HAFA participants to secure a HAFA approval.
