Key Requirements
- Update bankruptcy attorney fee schedules to include Response to Motion to Determine Status fees by December 1, 2025
- Rename Response to Final Cure Payment Notice to Response to Trustee's Notice of Disbursements Made
- Implement voluntary repurchase requirement before bankruptcy cramdowns on recourse or indemnified loans by February 1, 2026
- Update servicing procedures to align with Bankruptcy Rule 3002.1 amendments
Scoring Rationale
This is a low-impact servicing guide update affecting mortgage servicers with GSE loans. The changes are primarily procedural clarifications and fee schedule updates rather than substantive new requirements. The bankruptcy cramdown clarification codifies existing practice. Impact is limited to operational process updates and fee structure adjustments.
