SCENARIO
Claudia and Cliff Client
Claude & Clifford Client
Bankers as well as Financial Planners are seeing clients who:
Previously had a line of credit in place to use for home improvement, emergency use and contribute regularly to 401.
These clients have even increased the size of their HELOC and often have drawn the entire availability against the line.
Today, they often need to draw against the line for emergency purposes (loss job/reduction of income/under-employment).
A review of the loan application reflects an unacceptable debt to income level, 8 credit cards with high balances, as well as a declining credit score. DANGER – THEY CONSIDER 401s as a “pool of available funds!”
So – What are we seeing?
