COVID PART 5 - MCAP & RMG

COVID-19 Update: Skip-A-Payment

MCAP & RMG understands that these may be difficult times for Homeowners.

In order to provide some assistance, MCAP & RMG wishes to highlight that under the terms of your mortgage, you may defer, or Skip-A-Payment* at any time subject to certain conditions. Should you elect to Skip-A-Payment, MCAP & RMG will waive any applicable fees and this will not impact your credit rating.

Our Skip-A-Payment program allows you to defer a mortgage payment for one month at a time for eligible Homeowners.

We are waiving the fee associated with this transaction.

Please note, we require a minimum of 5 business days’ notice to make a change to upcoming payments.

When you Skip-A-Payment, you are taking the principal and interest you would have paid, effectively adding it to your outstanding mortgage balance. 

A Skip-A-Payment will increase your mortgage balance.  The length of your term will not be extended, however your amortization, or the time required to fully repay your mortgage in-full, will be slightly increased.

A Skip-A-Payment will not impact your credit score, and repayment will not be required until you pay your mortgage off.

The property tax portion, mortgage life/disability insurance and home warranty premiums are still collected on the regular payment date.

The best way to access our Skip-A-Payment program is to login to  MyMCAP or MyRMG and submit a request form the self-serve options menu.

We have waived all fees associated with the Skip-A-Payment option as a result of COVID-19.

Please note that, while the principal and interest portions of your payment would be skipped, any property tax portion, Home Mortgage Protection or Home Warranty premiums would still be due on the skipped payment date.

Our Skip-A-Payment program allows you to defer a mortgage payment for one month at a time for eligible Homeowners. The situation is evolving rapidly, and we are evaluating our policies each day in order to help. We will do our best to handle each situation on an individual homeowner basis.

If you’ve received an email confirmation that we received your request, we will process the Skip-A-Payment(s) as requested.

We will contact you directly if we need anything further from you. Please keep in mind that any payment within 5 business days of your online request will still be withdrawn as expected and your Skip-A-Payment request will be processed for the following payment date.

Please do not call or email, you can submit another request through MyMCAP or MyRMG the day after the last skipped payment date from your previous submission has passed.

Please keep in mind we require 5 business days’ notice to make modifications to upcoming payments.
