What the homeowner should expect if requesting to do a Home Sale

1. The Seller’s accounts need to be current or brought current before executing the assignment agreement and before removing any UCC (Filing on Solar System). All Filings will be terminated and re-filed based on the Close of Escrow date provided.

2. Account Servicing will provide payoff/prepay/payout information. If not completed or applicable, they collect information for the Assignment and Assumption (A&A) form for Homeowner Transfer that will be sent to EverBright Customer Support.

3. EverBright Customer Support agent conducts authoritative copy check and run soft credit qualification decision. If soft credit qualification decision is approved, A&A form is signed by EverBright and sent back to Account Servicing to proceed with home transfer. If is soft credit qualification decision is denied, email is sent to Account Servicing to proceed with payoff. Only if stated in the customer’s contract can they request exemption of the credit application (Do not mention to customer).

4. Account Servicing will invoice a Transaction Fee for UCC filing fee removal to the seller and once collected, work with WKLS on UCC (and for PUC for California PPA) filing removal. Account Servicing will book a new transaction to reflect the new customer information and begin managing the new account. Lastly, Account Servicing will send email to EverBright Customer Support once the home transfer is completed.

After the Home is Sold to the New Buyer

• The new buyer is able to obtain access to the Homeowner Portal by referencing the following SOP: Home Transfer Process - MyEverBright. This process is currently handled by Nehemiah @ EverBright and Brian Embry .

PUC Termination Requests

If a request is received to approve filing terminations because a home has been sold, please notify Trent.Preissner and Judy Targosz-Schechter .

Account Services charges $350.00 in administrative costs when a customer submits a refinance request for their home. This information is located on page 8 of the homeowner’s contract, where they are advised of additional costs associated with a mortgage refinance.

General Information/Inquiry

• A UCC Filing is placed on the solar system, not the home itself.

• When a homeowner wants to refinance their home, they need to have the filing removed.

• Filing removal requests can only be processed if they come from the homeowner or the title company with a letter of representation.

• EverBright files the UCC after M2 completion.

• Homeowners should never be billed for the UCC filing fee. Lien Solutions (a ‘contracted entity under EverBright/Account Servicing’) files all of the UCC filings with the state and local agencies on EverBright’s behalf.

UCC Filing Removal Fee Requests

• In the event that Account Servicing or the homeowner makes an inquiry about waiving UCC Fees:

Hello,

We are not able to waive the $350 fee associated with the removal of the UCC filing due to the county and processor charging a fee for administering UCC filings.

Thank you,

[Agent Name]

UCC Filing Fee solicitation

• If a homeowner receives a bill regarding the UCC fee and registration, it is most likely a third-party solicitation and should be marked as such.

• If it is not marked, follow the steps below:

1. Ask the homeowner to send a photo of the letter to support@myeverbright.com.

2. The agent will review the ticket with Eric Suarez to determine if further action is necessary. If determined to be a solicitation, reply to the homeowner:

Hello (homeowner name),

As indicated in the document, this is a third-party solicitation. You are not required to use their services and may disregard this notice.

Regards,
(agent name) 

Example of a UCC fee request:

• If a homeowner contacts EverBright support requesting a copy of their UCC Filing, the agent should direct the homeowner to Account Servicing.

How to handle Payoff Request copies from Account Servicing

Account Servicing will provide us with Payoff Request copies that were requested by the homeowner. These copies are only for record keeping.

How to Process the Ticket

EBH Ticket: Account Servicing

• Update the ticket subject to “Payoff Copy- [customer name]”

• Description: Job Address

• Update the request type to ‘Payoff Request'

• Reporter: clientservices@launchservicing.com

Close the ticket.

Payoff Request as an Email/Ticket

The homeowner wishes to pay off their existing account balance on their solar system. The request can either come from the homeowner requesting a payoff quote or a payoff quote can come directly from Account Services (if the homeowner contacted account servicing directly to obtain the quote).

There is no penalty if a homeowner wishes to pay off the existing balance on the solar system early. An early pay-off would include only interest accrued to the point of payoff.
