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.

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.
