First American Loan Production Solutions, Dallas, has announced the expansion of its borrower identification data and workout options to create a complete loan modification system designed to help servicers prevent foreclosures. The new offering combines credit scoring, valuation services, risk modeling, scoring, document preparation, and document recording to identify borrowers who are most at risk of foreclosure, the company said. Borrower refinance and workout options are then presented, and documents needed to complete the loan modification process may be created. "First American is bringing a single, complete loan modification cycle solution to servicers that will enable them to meet their bulging workloads by working out as many loans as possible," said Randy Gilster, president of First American LPS. The system enables servicers to actively monitor their portfolio and pinpoint loans at risk of foreclosure so pre-emptive loss mitigation steps can be taken.
