Released 7-1-09 (Press Release) - PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS) of SW Georgia has launched a same day, seven-day-a-week, HECM counseling service to meet the rising demand from consumers to get reverse mortgage counseling faster. CCCS of SW GA is a national reverse mortgage counseling agency approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The recent addition of an easy-to-remember toll free phone number will help launch this new faster service; 1-866-REVERSE (1.866.738.3773). CCCS of SW GA offers reverse mortgage lenders an additional national nonprofit counseling agency that will provide your clients with professional counseling same day, or at least within 24 hours of their call. Senior homeowners that contact CCCS of SW GA via 1-866-REVERSE will receive all of the information they desire to completely understand the aspects of the FHA reverse mortgage program. CCCS of SW GA had made their counseling services to the senior especially easy by eliminating all hardship forms for clients that cannot afford to pay the cost of HECM counseling. CCCS of SW GA has also made the process better by eliminating all up-front counseling fees when scheduling services through their new toll free number 1-866-REVERSE. The fee of $125 will now be charged at closing. Furthermore the agency will waive all fees the reverse mortgage doesn’t close for any reason thus saving the senior homeowner money. Every US senior homeowner seeking a reverse mortgage loan must receive counseling from an AARP-certified, HUD-approved, nonprofit credit counseling agency. Reverse mortgage lenders are now required to provide clients with a list of ten HUD agencies to choose from, including five national intermediaries designated by HUD, and five randomly selected HUD-approved agencies with offices in the client's local geography. CCCS of SW GA hopes to be one of those national agencies on the lenders list. “Homeowners in 48 states (excluding NC and MA) can schedule HECM telephone counseling with CCCS of SW GA by calling the dedicated reverse mortgage counseling phone number, 1-866-REVERSE from 9am until 9p each day, seven days a week” says Elena Bay, CSA heading-up the 1-866-REVERSE marketing outreach project. All reverse mortgage counselors with Consumer Credit Counseling Service of SW GA have passed certification classes held by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). |
