Am I in default if I miss a payment?
It's important for you to pay your mortgage as agreed. If you're having difficulty, please contact us right away and understand the steps in the default process:
- First month of missed payment: Your loan is overdue. You'll need to make your payment and pay a late fee charge.
- Second month of missed payment: Your loan is in risk of default. Late charges and penalties will continue to accrue.
- Third month of missed payment: Your loan is in default. Late charges and penalties will continue to accrue.
Please understand that foreclosure follows its own path and timeline, distinct from the mortgage assistance process. The foreclosure process can begin and continue even while you’re actively working with us to find options that may help you avoid a foreclosure sale. Until another option is accepted by you and us and is in place, the foreclosure process will continue.

Should I stop making payments to get help?
No — don’t stop making payments. The fewer payments you miss, the more options you may have. As soon as you think you may have a problem making payments — even if you think it’s temporary — please:
- Call us at 1-800-678-7986 and be prepared to discuss in detail the reasons for your hardship or default and the amount of your gross income.
- Learn more about how we can help you.
You can also attend a nearby home preservation workshop to discuss your situation with a Wells Fargo home preservation specialist.

Will you help me with the paperwork I'll need to fill out?
Yes — your Wells Fargo home preservation specialist will give you all the paperwork you need and will answer any questions you have. While completed documents can be brought to any Wells Fargo branch for submission, there are no home preservation specialists in the branches to answer questions.
