Here is the definition that we concluded as LOSS MITIGATION from many of the mortgage related web sites and platform:

Loss mitigation --a process to avoid foreclosure; the lender tries to help a borrower who has been unable to make loan payments and is in danger of defaulting on his or her loan.

Mortgage Loss Mitigation: The trustor or mortgage holder needs to repay a delinquent portion of a loan as a result of impending default, foreclosure, bankruptcy, REO, and so on. Before a foreclosure or bankruptcy occurs after a one or two months default, a repayment plan may be proposed to the delinquent mortgage holder by a loss mitigation specialist to satisfy the amount owed to a bank or lender. Loss mitigation may prevent foreclosure or bankruptcy. (See the rest of this article under “Loss Mitigation Defined”) .
