Qualified Written Request

Sample Hardship Letter : To perform the most comprehensive forensic loan audit you should compile all of the loan documents you maintain and get all of the loan documents your lender maintains. A Qualified Written Request (QWR) is a written demand to your servicing company. After receiving a QWR, the servicing company has twenty days to respond to the request and forward a copy of all loan documentation on file. The servicing companies also have to suspend all reporting activity to the major credit bureaus and then resolve the issue within sixty days. Federal RESPA laws require the servicing companies to comply and respond within this specified time frame. A QWR will be generated by you and submitted to the servicer for every file prior to the completion of the forensic loan document audit.
