5. How do I sign up or update the ACH form on record?
You can find the most recent ACH form here. It can be used for initial agreement or make a change. Send form with your next payment or on it's own.
6. What is the daily cut-off time for getting my payment posted the day I make the payment?
You can make payments until 5:00 PM CST. However, our daily cut-off time to have your payment posted the same day is 3:00 PM CST. This applies to all methods of payment. So, keep in mind, if you are making your mortgage payment via phone, website, or if you drop it off to us after 3:00 PM CST, the payment will not be posted until the next business day. Any payments made after 3:00 PM on the day the grace period ends will be processed the next business day potentially incurring a late charge.
7. I am set up for ACH withdrawal on the last day of my grace period. What if this day falls on a weekend or holiday, will I be charged a late fee?
No, you will not be charged a late fee. Your payment will be processed on the following business day and posted to your account.
8. When are late charges assessed to my account?
Your loan is subject to a late charge at the expiration of your grace period. If this date falls on a weekend or holiday, then it may be assessed the next business day following the weekend or holiday.
9. How can I get a duplicate of my monthly statement?
To obtain a copy of your monthly statement, click here and go to Documents section .
10. I have a fixed-rate loan, why is my payment increasing/decreasing?
Fixed-rate loans that have escrow accounts may have changes in the payment amounts. An increase or decrease in the annual taxes and/or hazard insurance will cause fluctuation in the payment amount. The account will be analyzed annually.
11. When can I expect to receive my annual escrow analysis?
Typically the analysis is completed in February to be effective for the April payment.
12. My escrow analysis indicates a shortage and/or deficit that will be spread over 12 months. Can I pay a lump sum amount to reduce my payment?
You may make a lump sum payment to your escrow account. Paying a shortage will reduce your payment by the prorated shortage amount.
13. Can my mortgage loan be set up for bi-weekly or semi-monthly payments?
Mortgage loans will not be converted from monthly payments to bi-weekly or semi-monthly payments. The Note signed at closing dictates the payment frequency. You may occasionally receive a solicitation by a third party to set up payments bi-weekly or semi-monthly. This company is not associated with FocusOne Mortgage Solutions.
