Thank you for entrusting your home to The U.S. Mitigation Service, LLC! We look forward to working with you and keeping you in your home. Our goal is to make your mortgage affordable, not just today but for the life of your loan. As homeowners ourselves, we recognize the stress that an unaffordable mortgage puts on you and your family. As such, each and every one of our owners, employees and affiliates is committed to working with your lenders to expedite your loan mediation and get you into a mortgage that you can afford. Our client-centered mediators work with you, keeping you abreast of developments in your case to make this time as stress-free as possible. Unlike “factory” modification companies that submit the same modification proposal for every client, our mediators tailor the workout plan to fit your individual loan, even if it means negotiating creative solutions with your lender. While this takes a bit more time and much more effort, finding a way to keep you in your home is worth it! Our client-centered approach isn’t the only thing that differentiates us from other loan modification companies. In addition to our mediators’ outstanding customer service, The U.S. Mitigation Service actually retains negotiators on your behalf to perform a mortgage audit to identify federal and state legal violations which provide grounds for legal action, should you choose to pursue it. These negotiators deal with lenders like yours every day and bypass the normal red tape associated with loss mitigation departments. Also, if legal violations are found, you have a choice of pursuing litigation, thereby maximizing your monetary recovery, or merely allowing us to use the violations as leverage to get you the best possible modification. While nearly every one of our clients opt for modification over costly and time consuming litigation, we let you decide which avenue works best for your situation. For the same price or less than other mitigation companies charge homeowners, The U.S. Mitigation Service pursues every avenue possible to save your home. Our SOLE focus is on you, the client. As such, we are only concerned about your financial future, not the Lender’s. We work for you our client with no up front fees. Our counselors access your situation, we do a pre-qual to make sure you actually qualify, and then contact your lender and go over your file, and then share all of the information with you so you can decide if you would like to go to step two. And keep in mind if you choose to stop the process there is absolutely no charge for the work already completed. During this process, it is essential for you to feel comfortable with the process and with your mediator. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time, even if it’s just to ask a quick question or get some peace of mind. We look forward to working with you! Sincerely,

K.Michael Kinses
