MC to Review My Data Files

Question

    We are having MC do a review of our data files. How do I send you my data? What format?

Answer

    SPECIFICATIONS FOR BACKUP TAPES
    It is essential you send us your data in a format we can read at Mortgage Computer. Data can be sent electronically via FTP site or e-mail, tape or diskettes. Before you send MC a tape, please confirm that your tape drive is compatible with what MC can read. If you cannot send us your data electronically, you don't have a compatible tape drive, or you have questions about your tape drive, please e-mail Systems Support or call at (801) 621-3900 and we will help you.
