We have an online loan application that our members complete. It does not have a signature on it. We use that to pull credit, make the loan and the
members come in and sign loan documents. My question is do I need them to complete a loan application in person with a signature or is the on-line
application sufficient?

I have a client (a lender) who orders their credit reports from "XYZ Data" and when a loan is declined, they list Equifax on their Adverse Action
Notice (with appropriate address and phone number) and they have now been told that because "XYZ Data" is considered a reseller of credit under the
FCRA 603(u) that they should also list XYZ Data (along with its name and telephone number) on the Adverse Action Notice. Is this true?

We use Equifax to pull our credit reports. In addition to that, they're the only company we report our customer's loans to. How can we report and possibly retrieve from all three major credit reporting agencies? I've emailed Equifax, but haven't heard anything yet.

We are going to offer Partition HELOC loans (a main HELOC and fixed rate partitions). How are these reported to the credit bureau? Just the main HELOC and the fixed rate partitions or just the main HELOC?

A customer completed a consumer application to refinance their vehicle. The lender did not run a credit report because after interviewing the borrower and running a value on the vehicle she determined the borrower did not have sufficient equity to refinance. She only has 'insufficient collateral' as a reason. A senior lender is telling her she needs to have two reasons and must run a credit report. Is there a regulatory requirement for two reasons or that a credit report MUST be run in order to give an adverse action?

In the event when a joint credit report is pulled for a joint application, but then the loan is restructured using only one of the borrowers and the credit report is unmerged to obtain only the individual borrowers credit data, can the lender collect the charge for both invoices from the borrower (the invoice for the original report and the invoice for the unmerge service)?

My bank is currently looking into accepting application online. One of the requirements is that the application would need to be e signed so we have a completed application and a signature to pull credit. I am not sure where to start on if we need a new policy for this or what disclosure we would need to provide to our customers.

If you have a loan in an individual name, the repayment source is business income or global cash flow, what do you use to determine the Revenue Code for CRA reporting? The cash flow shows his individual wages are $50,000, two businesses are also listed on his cash flow, one shows total sales is $250,000 and the other is $1,100,000. What would the revenue code be?
