Last time I emailed HMDAHelpless it took two weeks to receive a response.. and that included a 2nd follow up email.

Last year I received a notice from them stating that they had not received our edit reports by the deadline even though I had sent them immediately...

Hooray HMDA Help... Sorry to hear that Dan. I hope they get back to you quickly!

We had the 'did not receive edit report' snafu last year too.
Sorry to hear you're getting no reply at all, Dan. Hearing you have trouble strikes fear into my heart and I'm sure other posters as well.
Hoping to get my LAR filed sooner rather than later but all I can do is wait for the seal of approval from high up now. Then I submit.

I received the delinquent denied file this morning, so now I just need to make one more quick pass through the December data and I'll be ready to hit submit. Hearing that others are already having similar problems to last year does not give me the warm fuzzies about it, though.

Strange. It looks like I must have just been extremely lucky this year with how fast they responded to me.

I was hoping this year would be better for everyone as well.

When the edit list was emailed to me that fast I almost fell out of my chair.


Just re-read this...i did receive my edit list about that quickly too, (and it sounds like it took 2 days for you to get your final confirmation)....so today is day 2....maybe they'll email me today or tomorrow. I feel guardedly a bit more optimistic.

I just now heard from HMDAHelp.

I get to wear the Dunce Hat for the rest of the week.

In the email address in the transmittal form I left the "S" off of Peoples..... blush

I will correct and resubmit tomorrow... whistle

I am probably going to regret this, but I just emailed my edit response. I bet I'll end up wishing I had faxed it instead.

This was the first year I emailed mine, instead of faxing it. It worked out great for me. I hope it will for you as well.

E-mail worked very well for us. A little surprised at how quickly we received responses back from FRB.

I hope we have a good result, as well. I'm just having flashbacks to last year's mess - sending the edit response 5 or 6 times only to be repeatedly told that it was late. eek

I am also the only one that enters data. I have a few things I do each year to double check. I go through our drawer with all the adverse actions, withdrawns, etc and review to see if they should have been on HMDA. Then I make a list of all the ones that need to be on HMDA, made a copy of the LAR and mark them off to make sure they are on there.

We usually have about 150 entries so I also make a list of the originated loans alphabetically and check that. I sometimes find I had logged once twice.

I have a HMDA scrub query where it will pick up all loans made and collateral codes or purpose codes that need to be checked and I check that against the LAR.

then I just go down the printed LAR and compare to the handwritten LAR to make sure no data entry errors - usually find a few there.

I number the applications so all originated loans are together and all adverse action loans are together and that helps a lot during scrub to keep them seperate.

Hope that helped someone. I am always nervous about sending it off, think I should do one more check, but then am glad when its gone.

I received our confirmation letter just now. Looks like they are running on about a 2 day response time. That's MUCH better than last year!

I received submitted my edit report and received confirmation on the same day for the bank, but today marks a week and no confirmation letter for the mortgage company.

I've sent two emails to HMDAHelp and have heard nothing. They sent the edit report, so I know they received the data, but no response to the edit reply.

Interesting from an information security perspective that the Fed sends the edit report with account numbers via unsecure email. I always respond by sending the confirmation via fax, but they appear to encourage sending via email as their first choice with fax as the second.... Just sayin' what's good for the goose.......

Question - I am looking for guidance to see if my institution must submit data on closed loans we purchased but did not make the credit decision on. I found this info below which says the lender making the credit decision must report, however, it goes on to say that an investor should report purchased loans.

The broker rule and the meaning of “broker” and “investor.” For the purposes of the guidance given in this commentary, an institution that takes and processes a loan application and arranges for another institution to acquire the loan at or after closing is acting as a “broker,” and an institution that acquires a loan from a broker at or after closing is acting as an “investor.” (The terms used in this commentary may have different meanings in certain parts of the mortgage lending industry, and other terms may be used in place of these terms, for example in the Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance programs.) Depending on the facts, a broker may or may not make a credit decision on an application (and thus it may or may not have reporting responsibilities). If the broker makes a credit decision, it reports that decision; if it does not make a credit decision, it does not report. If an investor reviews an application and makes a credit decision prior to closing, the investor reports that decision. If the investor does not review the application prior to closing, it reports only the loans that it purchases; it does not report the loans it does not purchase. An institution that makes a credit decision on an application prior to closing reports that decision regardless of whose name the loan closes in.[/b][/i][/i]

And 8 calendar days later, I have received my confirmation.

There is hope, hang in there.

Yes, you must report purchased loans, but it is a limited data set. Search the GIR for the term "purchased" and you will find all the instructions.

2js, how did you submit?
The HMDAHelp correspondence is saying you didn't send a properly encrypted file.
Did you email it?
Altho it's funny that you sent and got an error report and THEN get this from HMDAHelp.

That sounds like an email sent in error since it is not even March 1 yet. Call HMDA Help if you have not already.
