Job Description

Who we are

Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing (SMS) is one of Americas top-five non-bank mortgage-servicing companies. What is mortgage servicing? Our clients are businesses that own mortgage loans (such as banks and real estate investment firms). On their behalf, we manage (or "service") their loan portfolios, which means that we collect homeowners mortgage payments, pay their tax and insurance bills, and help homeowners in default to get current.

Summary:
The Default Escalations Specialist is responsible for supporting the Loss Mitigation division by investigating and responding to consumer complaints that are received by the Inbound Loss Mitigation Specialist, allowing other areas of the division to focus on "live" loss mitigation efforts and call volume. Verbal Complaints may be related to issues with SPOC availability, loss mitigation status updates, prior servicer loss mitigation efforts, fee disputes, payment disputes, loss mitigation denials etc. (all aspects of Loss Mitigation Servicing). This position is designed to resolve consumer complaints quickly before they escalate to a written or Regulatory complaint, to prevent more risk and exposure to the company, and improve the overall customer experience. The Verbal Complaint Specialist will work with various department leaders to investigate and get issues resolved for the consumer. They will also be responsible for the outreach efforts and further communication to consumers, after the complaint is received. They will be required to acknowledge the complaint, provide follow ups or status updates when needed, and eventually provide confirmation of final resolution for the consumer over the phone. The goal of the Verbal Complaint Specialist is to prevent additional phone calls and additional complaints from the consumer, by providing them with a point of contact, reassurance, and continuous communication until a resolution is reached.

  • Research the consumers loan to determine the problem and next steps toward resolution. This will require some experience with reading and understanding payment/transaction summaries, escrow analyses, insurance documents, loan origination documents, tax lines, loss mitigation documents and processes.
  • Follow up with other department leaders on tasks that their department needs to complete before a resolution can be reached for the consumer (having the assigned SPOC contact the borrower, having a fee analysis completed, etc.).
  • Make outbound calls to consumers when a resolution is reached, to discuss the resolution and confirm satisfaction with the consumer.
