Bloomfield Hills, MI, and Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 16, 2008 -- The more time that goes by for a distressed loan, the more likely it will end up in foreclosure. "The key to saving distressed borrowers is contacting them directly. We needed a way to reach out to individual borrowers as quickly as possible and begin collecting information on their loans," says Steve Paton, Senior Vice President at Marix Servicing LLC, a loan servicing company founded in 2007 in response to distress in the U.S. mortgage market. As a loan servicer, Marix is employed by mortgage insurers and investors to save the value in their mortgage investments. To do that, Marix's highly trained experts work directly with homeowners to help them save their mortgages through a range of financial options, including refinancing, short sale arrangements and other workout plans. Everyone benefits, especially the homeowner, when a mortgage can be kept from foreclosure. With time as its enemy, Marix turned to Logicalis, an international provider of high-performance technology, to help develop the software application necessary to quickly initiate loss mitigation procedures that could keep homeowners in their homes.

Logicalis worked as an extension of the Marix team to quickly develop the Marix Borrower Outreach (MBO) application. The MBO program responds to the very specific needs of two distinct sets of Marix clients: Mortgage insurance companies that are liable for claims on defaulted mortgages, and mortgage investors who buy large blocks of mortgages. The key for both clients is the ability to begin direct communication with individual borrowers as soon as possible, to initiate loss mitigation procedures before their mortgages reach a tipping point that almost always ends in foreclosure.

And Marix doesn't just rely on technology to get that information. If calls and letters don't establish a meaningful dialog with the homeowner, a Marix loan expert will make house calls. By accelerating the collection of critical data, the Marix Borrower Outreach program allows Marix to begin contacting homeowners as soon as a minimal amount of information is available. The MBO program provides access to data including property information, payment history and the real-time status of the mortgage at the critical time when loans are transferred from other servicers, when problems often occur.

"Logicalis has been very good at understanding the business needs and bringing that to bear on what we are trying to accomplish," Paton says. "They do a good job of retaining that information, too," he adds. "We've done several projects with them, and they never have to start over from scratch. Logicalis works like an extension of our own IT team."
