Claims Recovery Financial Services, LLC (CRFS), a nationwide provider of post-foreclosure claim processing management solutions, announced this week that it has begun offering a host of consulting and training services to educate, inform, and assist lenders, mortgage service companies, and financial institutions.

The New York-based company says the inclusion of consulting services is “a direct response to the significant turmoil within the mortgage industry,” namely the high foreclosure rates and increasing loss mitigation demands lenders are continuing to deal with, resulting in considerable growth in new personnel and additional training needs for both new hires and existing staff members.

CRFS’ initial service offerings range from due diligence and quality assurance reviews to problem case resolution and special projects. More focused offerings include on-site training for loss mitigation and claims default processes, HUD SFDMS reporting requirements, and identifying areas of non-compliance and avoidable losses.

“Our consulting services is a logical extension to our core business line, and will help us do an even better job of serving our clients,” said Anthony Di Staulo, AVP of client relations for CRFS. “We are very excited about this opportunity and we look forward to adding additional services in the near future.”

CRFS is launching the consulting services under the direction of newly hired Lynette Richter, manager of default claims consulting. Richter will be responsible for managing the day-to-day duties of the department as well as functioning as one of the company’s on-site client consultants.

Claims Recovery Financial Services processes post-foreclosure Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA), mortgage insurance, and investor claims, and provides loss analysis review to mortgage Servicers and other financial institutions throughout the country.
