November 2013

51


The following guidance for Collections, Disputed Accounts and Judgments must be followed for all case numbers assigned ON OR AFTER October 15, 2013

Collections:

Collection accounts of a non-purchasing spouse in a community property state are included in the cumulative balance, unless excluded by state law.

All medical collections and charge off accounts are excluded from this guidance and do not require resolution

A capacity analysis of collection accounts with an aggregate balance equal to or greater than $2,000 is required. Capacity analysis includes any of the following actions:

At the time of or prior to closing, payment in full of the collection account (verification of acceptable source of funds required).

• The borrower makes payment arrangements with the creditor. If the borrower has entered into a payment arrangement with the creditor, a credit report or letter from the creditor verifying the monthly payment is required. The monthly payment must be included in the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.

• If evidence of a payment arrangement is not available, the Underwriter must calculate the monthly payment using 5% of the outstanding balance of each collection, and include the monthly payment in the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.

Regardless of the Accept/Approve/Refer recommendation by TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard, the Underwriter must include the payment amount in the calculation of the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.

Documentation requirements for Manual Underwrite:

• The Underwriter must document reasons for approving a mortgage when the borrower has collection accounts.

• Regardless of the amount of outstanding collection accounts, the Underwriter must determine if the collection account was a result of:

The borrower’s disregard for financial obligations OR The borrower’s inability to manage debt OR Extenuating circumstances

• The borrower must provide a letter of explanation with supporting documentation for each outstanding collection account. The explanation and supporting documentation must be consistent with other credit information in the file.

• Automated (TOTAL) Underwrite:

There are no documentation or letter of explanation requirements for loans with collection accounts run through TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard receiving an “Accept/Approve” despite the presence of collection accounts. These accounts have been already taken into consideration in the borrower’s credit score. If TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard generates a “Refer,” the lender must manually underwrite the loan in accordance with the guidance above applicable to manually underwritten loans with collection accounts.


November 2013

Disputed accounts:

Disputed derogatory credit accounts are defined as follows: Disputed charge-off accounts, Disputed collection accounts, and Disputed accounts with late payments in the last 24 months

Disputed Derogatory Accounts Indicated on the Credit Report: If the credit report utilized by TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard indicates that the borrower is disputing derogatory credit accounts, the borrower must provide a letter of explanation and documentation supporting the basis of the dispute. The lender must analyze the documentation provided for consistency with other credit information in the file to determine if the derogatory credit account should be considered in the underwriting analysis. Guidance for TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard Accept/Approve loans with disputed accounts:

Disputed Derogatory Credit Accounts greater than or equal to $1,000: If the cumulative outstanding balance of disputed derogatory credit accounts of all borrowers is equal to or greater than $1,000, the mortgage application must be downgraded to a “Refer” and a DE underwriter is required to manually underwrite the loan as described above. Disputed Derogatory Credit Accounts less than $1,000: If the cumulative outstanding balance of disputed derogatory credit accounts of all borrowers is less than $1,000, a downgrade is not required.

Excluded Accounts: Disputed medical accounts are excluded from the $1,000 limit and do not require documentation, Disputed derogatory credit accounts resulting from identity theft, credit card theft, or unauthorized use are also excluded from the $1,000 limit. However, the lender must provide in the case binder a credit report, letter from the creditor, or other appropriate documentation to support the dispute, such as a police report disputing the fraudulent charges

Non-Derogatory Disputed Accounts and Disputed Accounts Not Indicated on the Credit Report.

• Non-derogatory disputed accounts include the following types of accounts: Disputed accounts with zero balance, Disputed accounts with late payments aged 24 months or greater, and Disputed accounts that are current and paid as agreed

If a borrower is disputing non-derogatory accounts, or is disputing accounts which are not indicated on the credit report as being disputed, the lender is not required to downgrade the application to a “Refer.” However, the lender must analyze the effect of the disputed accounts on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. If the dispute results in the borrower’s monthly debt payments utilized in computing the debt-to-income ratio being less than the amount indicated on the credit report, the borrower must provide documentation of the lower payments.

Non-derogatory disputed accounts are excluded from the $1,000 cumulative total.

Disputed derogatory credit accounts of a non-purchasing spouse in a community property state are not included in the cumulative balance for determining if the mortgage application is downgraded to a “Refer”.

52



November 2013

Judgments:

Judgements must be paid off. An exception to the payoff of a court ordered judgment may be made if the borrower has an agreement with the creditor to make regular and timely payments. The borrower must provide a copy of the agreement and evidence that payments were made on time in accordance with the agreement, and a minimum of three months of scheduled payments have been made prior to credit approval.

Borrowers are not allowed to prepay scheduled payments in order to meet the required minimum of three months of payments. Furthermore, lenders are instructed to include the payment amount in the agreement in the calculation of the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio.

FHA requires judgments of a non-purchasing spouse in a community property state to be paid in full, or meet the exception guidance for judgments above, unless excluded by state law.

Documentation requirements:

• Manual Underwrite:

The Underwriter must document reasons for approving a mortgage when the borrower has judgments.

Regardless of the amount of outstanding judgments, the Underwriter must determine if the collection account or judgment was a result of:

• The borrower’s disregard for financial obligations OR

• The borrower’s inability to manage debt OR

• Extenuating circumstances

The borrower must provide a letter of explanation with supporting documentation for each outstanding judgment. The explanation and supporting documentation must be consistent with other credit information in the file.

Automated (TOTAL) Underwrite:

If TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard generates a “Refer,” the lender must manually underwrite the loan in accordance with the guidance above applicable to manually underwritten loans with collection accounts and judgments.

The code is generally an 8 (CoreLogic, Credco and Old Republic), but may vary depending on the credit vendor. If the loan does not meet manual underwriting guidelines, the credit report must be corrected and the loan must be re-run through AUS.

• 1003 Loan Application must reflect a “yes” response to the foreclosure question

• AUS Findings must be reviewed to determine if a finding is present for foreclosure. If not present, but the credit report and the 1003 reflect the foreclosure accurately, an assumption may be made that the foreclosure was correctly read by the AUS. In cases where the finding is present but the code is not accurate, it cannot be assumed that

the foreclosure was correctly read by the AUS. 57
