Not to mention one of the biggest consequences for under-reporting loans on your CRA-LR - You're shooting yourself in the foot for CRA performance!
You went to the trouble of actually MAKING a loan to a business but aren't taking any credit so your CRA Performance looks worse than it really is. (Unless all of those loans were made outside your Assessment Area in which case someone has some 'splaining to do.)
I used to get push back all the time from lenders when I was doing a final scrub on loans for the CRA-LR. I would call them about a certain loan - perhaps to verify purpose, or revenues, or address where proceeds were used, and the lender would respond with something like "Well that loan already paid off. Do we still HAVE to report it?"
HEAD/DESK! (In place of Loan Officer head/smack!!!)
