This technology, which is proprietary to the company, aims to provide deep insights to the drivers of borrower behavior by giving the user an information-rich, holistic view of the borrower and their individual circumstance, CoreLogic explained. The company said the use of this system allows a holder of distressed mortgages to craft loan treatment strategies to maximize both loan value and borrower retention.
CoreLogic said WillCap, which is already in use with several leading institutions, has a wide range of functions, ranging from distressed loan treatment and loan surveillance to loss forecasting and even portfolio-level loan-treatment strategy development.
According to the company, using this platform gives mortgage holders a variety of tools, including the ability to reduce defaults, including strategic defaults; determine where, when, and why to discount principal; increase borrower retention through loan modification; boost net returns on asset disposition; and promote credibility with regulators and other government-related entities.
WillCap was developed after an extensive review of more than 5 million loans, including more than 1.2 million loans that had been the subject to some form of treatment, such as a loan modification, short sale, or foreclosure. The system is offered as an application service provider service complemented by CoreLogic professional services.
