Editor’s Note: Franklin Credit Holding Corporation ("Franklin Holding" and with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "Company") is a specialty consumer finance company primarily engaged in the servicing and resolution of its performing, reperforming and nonperforming residential mortgage loans. Franklin’s portfolio consists of both first- and second-lien loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate that generally fall outside the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and involve elevated credit risk as a result of the nature or absence of income documentation, limited credit histories, higher levels of consumer debt or past credit difficulties. The Company typically purchased these loan portfolios at a discount to the unpaid principal balance and originated loans with loan-to-value ratios at origination of 75% or less and interest rates and fees calculated to provide a rate of return adjusted to reflect the elevated credit risk inherent in these types of loans. Non-prime loans were originated through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tribeca Lending Corp., and have generally been held for investment. The Company’s executive, administrative and operations offices are located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
