How Does EPP Work?
The Equity Protection Program is a fully insured loan portfolio
program designed to increase loan volume by expanding Loan to
Value thresholds and Underwriting Guidelines while protecting
you against costly defaults.
DGU Insurance Associates, LLC will work with you to design a
program to suit your needs. Utilizing a delegated authority to
underwrite loans using customized guidelines, you simply report
the loan balances and basic loan data each month along with your
premium. In the event that a covered loan defaults and becomes
uncollectable for any reason, it may be filed as a claim within
approximately 90 days of delinquency.
No foreclosure is required when filing a claim, and after the claim is
processed, you will be reimbursed for 100% of the remaining loan
balance. The policy provides for the payment of all losses for insured
eligible loans up to an amount equal to 10% of the aggregate net
proceeds of all eligible loans during each 12-month period.
