Borrowers Inquiries or Disputes

 
 

We encourage you to first work through your normal contacts and channels with the servicer of your loan. However, if that does not resolve the issue, you can escalate your concern within the servicer's organization. Servicers are required to have written procedures and personnel in place to provide timely and appropriate responses to homeowner inquiries and disputes.

If Banco Popular de Puerto Rico is the “Servicer” of your mortgage loan, follow the next three (3) steps to know what to expect along the process until the resolution of the case:



Step 1: Contact the Servicer

  • Upon receipt of borrower/requestor inquiries and/or escalated complaints, servicer documents/registers the date on which the case was received.

Step 2: Acknowledgement

You must also provide an updated status on the resolution dates to the requestor and borrower (as applicable).

Step 3: Review, Resolution & Notification

  • Servicer reviews escalated case against the information and documentation in their system of record to determine the accuracy of the inquiry and reach a resolution.
  • Servicer documents the proposed resolution in the servicing system/file including the date resolution was reached, or determined that no change in the original decision is needed.
  • Within 5 business days of identifying a resolution, the servicer communicates the proposed resolution in writing to the requestor and borrower, as applicable.
