If you are facing foreclosure on a mortgage serviced by PHH Mortgage — now officially Onity Mortgage as of March 23, 2026 — the approach for stopping the foreclosure is the same regardless of which name your statements carry. PHH Mortgage / Onity Mortgage's loss mitigation team and its foreclosure attorneys operate on separate tracks. A complete, formally submitted modification application is the mechanism that bridges both tracks through federal dual tracking regulations — requiring the servicer to halt foreclosure advancement while the application is under review.
Conversations, phone calls, and preliminary submissions do not bridge these tracks. An incomplete application does not bridge these tracks. Only a complete application by the servicer's definition — with every required document current and correctly formatted — triggers the federal protections that stop the foreclosure from advancing.
Federal Regulation X prohibits PHH Mortgage / Onity Mortgage from making the first foreclosure filing while a complete loss mitigation application is under review, and from advancing to a foreclosure sale while a complete application submitted more than 37 days before the sale date is pending. These are legally enforceable requirements. An application missing any required document — by PHH/Onity Mortgage's definition for the specific loan type — is not complete and does not trigger these protections.
The strongest intervention is before PHH/Onity Mortgage refers the account to its foreclosure attorneys — typically at the 120-day delinquency threshold. A complete modification application submitted before this threshold prevents the referral. The foreclosure track never starts. The modification runs in the loss mitigation channel with no foreclosure deadline. This is the cleanest outcome for any PHH/Onity Mortgage borrower.
If PHH/Onity Mortgage has already initiated foreclosure, a complete application submitted immediately triggers dual tracking protections preventing the case from advancing to sale. In judicial states, the court case continues but cannot advance to judgment and sale while the application is properly pending. In non-judicial states, the trustee sale cannot proceed while the application is under review. Professional preparation ensures the application is complete on first submission — triggering protections immediately rather than after re-submission delays.

See My Options →My PHH Mortgage is in foreclosure — does the rebrand to Onity Mortgage change anything?
No. The rebrand is a name change only. The same servicer is handling your account, the same loss mitigation team reviews applications, and the same federal dual tracking protections apply regardless of whether your statements say PHH or Onity Mortgage.
Is there any cost to find out what I qualify for?
Submitting your information costs nothing. A professional reviews your situation and discusses your options before any commitment is made.
