Information about payments received and payments due can be found on the loan information page and loan history page after logging in to this site.
Your payment is late if it is not received on or by the 16th calendar day of each month (on or before 05:00 PM PST).
A late charge will be assessed 15 days after the payment due date.
Your mortgage contract states that payment needs to be in our possession by the late charge date. Any payments received after that time will be assessed a late charge, regardless of the postmark or mailing date.
Sun West Mortgage Company reports all loan payments to the credit bureaus. Payments not received when due could negatively affect your credit rating.
Please select the appropriate box on your payment coupon when sending funds in addition to your monthly payment. Additional principal payments can also be made online by logging in to your My Account.
An extra principal payment can be made after or with the current monthly payment as long as the loan is current.
If there are no other fees due, then the funds will be applied to your loan principal.
Click here for instructions on How to Make Additional Payments Online.
Similar to making additional principal payments, payments may also be made specifically towards the interest. While sending a check, it must be specified (in the memo portion) that the payment is to be applied towards interest only.
An extra interest payment can be made after the current monthly mortgage payment has already been satisfied.
Unfortunately, extra interest payments cannot be made via our website and must be made by check. If you do not want to mail in a check payment then please call us to make payment by phone.

The mortgage statement for the next month is generated once the current month’s mortgage payment is paid.

A 1098 Mortgage Interest Statement is used to report mortgage interest paid by the borrower. For Example: 2012 Mortgage Interest paid on loan will need to be reported in 2013 tax filling.

An escrow account is established to ensure that your taxes and insurance are paid. Part of your monthly payment is deposited into your escrow account. At a later date, the funds in the escrow account are used to pay real estate taxes, homeowner insurance, and any mortgage insurance that may be required for the loan.
If you have a fixed rate mortgage, the principal and interest payments on your loan are fixed. However, the amount deposited to the escrow account can fluctuate depending on local tax rates and insurance rates.
Each year we analyze your escrow account to determine your future tax and/or insurance payments. The most recent tax and insurance bills are used in order to forecast what your escrow payments for the next year will be. As a result, your payment may increase or decrease depending on the amount of money required to pay these future obligations or to reimburse your account for previous shortages.
At times, the amounts needed to adequately fulfill your Tax and Insurance payments through your escrow account are not accurately calculated at closing. This would result in a shortfall in your escrow account.
For e.g. A Supplemental Tax is assessed on all new property purchases in the state of CA, which is not estimated at closing.

Private Mortgage insurance is insurance that protects a lender in case of a default. Only certain loans require this insurance. If you have this insurance, you would have been informed when you signed your loan documents. The insurance coverage can be cancelled under certain conditions. Here is a list of the conditions:
If no written request is submitted prior to the LTV (loan to value) reaching 78% based on the ORIGINAL amortization of your loan, the PMI will be cancelled automatically if the loan is current and the property is owner occupied.
If changing at renewal time: Please provide us with written authorization, the name and telephone number of your new agent and we will pay the premium from your escrow account.
If changing between renewal dates: Please provide us with written authorization, the name and telephone number of your new agent and we will pay the premium from your escrow account. You must also cancel the current insurance and have the return premium sent to Sun West Mortgage Company.
If you receive a cancellation notice from your insurance company, please contact our Customer Service Department at 800-345-7884.
Note: You have thirty (30) days from the date of cancellation to reinstate your current policy or obtain new insurance. If coverage is not in force within the allotted time period, we will obtain coverage for you. This "forced place" insurance may be at a higher premium.
Forced placed insurance is an insurance policy purchased on behalf of the borrower when proof of a voluntary insurance policy has not been provided to the loan servicer. It is also referred to as lender placed insurance.
Once Sun West Mortgage Company receives proof of an adequate voluntary insurance policy, it will cancel the forced placed insurance effective as of the date of the voluntary policy and refund any remaining lender placed premium it previously received.
Your mortgage or deed of trust requires you to obtain insurance to protect the property from loss such as fire and other events. Generally the amount of the insurance must be at least the amount that it would cost to replace the house or the unpaid principal amount of the loans that are secured by the property.

If your credit report shows a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu, you may have trouble obtaining new credit for at least a few years. You may, however, include a written statement on your credit report that explains any hardships that led to the foreclosure.
For more information about how foreclosure affects your credit you can contact any one of the three major credit bureau reporting agencies.

Your loan documents likely prohibit transferring the property to another person or entity.

You should consult with your own counsel about the operative provisions in your loan documents.
Assumption of mortgage is the purchase of mortgaged property whereby the buyer accepts liability for an existing debt secured by a mortgage on the property. This generally requires the consent of the lender that owns or services the existing loan. The seller remains liable to the existing mortgage lender unless the lender agrees to release the seller from further liability.
In a nutshell, the assumption of a mortgage is just what it sounds like - the transfer of all liabilities associated with a mortgage from one party to another i.e. new borrower(s) takes over the loan from the current borrower(s) under the original condition and terms.
