Force-Placed Insurance
Your servicer may require force-placed insurance when you do not have your own insurance policy or if your own policy doesn’t meet your servicer’s requirements. Force-placed insurance usually protects only the lender, not you. The servicer will charge you for the insurance. Forceplaced insurance is usually more expensive than finding an insurance policy yourself.
