Request Cancellation

Overview

A workout request in an Approved status will move to a Cancelled status when you have submitted a cancellation request (CXLReq) via the Resolve® UI or the Retention API prior to the settlement of a workout. Resolve processes the cancellation request and updates the status to Cancelled on the dashboard page.

The cancellation functionality described below applies to:

Cancellations cannot be completed on workouts in an APPROVED FOR SETTLEMENT or CLOSED status.

Resolve reports cancellation requests to the EDR system daily; therefore, Resolve will report the HE default action code with an 'Default Action Date' that reflects the last calendar day of the prior month to EDR the day the Servicer submits the cancellation request (CXLReq) through Resolve.

Important: Servicers must submit cancellation requests (CXLReq) via Resolve by the third business day of the month for a trial period that is already in progress.
