Revoking Provisional Credit That Isn't There
04/07/2024
According to Reg E, if I need to reverse provisional credit from a customer and they do not have the funds in the account in the amount of the reversal, can I proceed even though it will leave the account in the negative? The customer has been notified verbally of the reversal and I will send the reversal letter via mail, but they have made no attempt to deposit the money to cover this. Can I proceed, regardless of if the funds are available and still be in compliance?

We've engaged an external audit firm to perform the audit function starting this year. This firm was already engaged prior to our examination. I've never assisted with a response to an MRA and am wondering what format and information should be provided. Can you please share any key components or advice with me on this topic?

The dwelling will not be finished for 6 - 12 months. The bank received the application from the broker and pre-qualifies (no pre-approval program) for a later date. There would not be any early disclosures at the type of the pre-qual, correct?
