I certify, acknowledge, and agree to the following:

1.All of the information in this Borrower Assistance Form is truthful and the hardship that I have identified contributed to my need for mortgage relief.

2.The accuracy of my statements may be reviewed by the Servicer, owner or guarantor of my mortgage, their agent(s), or an authorized third party*, and I may be required to provide additional supporting documentation.
