I just got off the phone with multiple agents from both Freddie Mac and Chase.  Neither have any information about the new guidelines that went into effect Nov 1st. 

Question:  I have a client that will be experiencing default soon due to disability and is presently current on loan.  If neither the servicer nor Freddie Mac are aware of the new guidelines allowing a borrower to sell short while being current, how is this to be approached???

Thanks.

Good question.  Coincidentally, I had the same conversation with Chase today.  Short sale supervisor said he did not know anything about the Nov 1 directive. My case is already in process and he did not know if I can send a revised HUD or if I have to start over. I offered to send him the pertinent pages of the Publication along with my revised HUD and that is what I am going to do. If I was starting a new deal, I think I would just keep after Chase to send out the Borrower Solicitation Package referenced in the Pub.  FreddieMac Publication Number 908, dated September 2012 if that helps anyone.

Thanks Barry.  This appears to be the best course of action at this point.  Please let us know how they respond to your new submission.

Freddie Mac is aware of the new Guideline (they put out the Guidance) and I am sure someone at the Chase is too.  You just need to find out who those people are.

Very aware that Freddie posted the guidance.  The problem is the lack of internal education of those answering the phones.

Barry answered my question well.
