At a recent seminar, the presenter stated information below. Have I been living under a rock? Has something changed? I have scoured the ECOA and FCRA and cannot find support for this.
This presenter states that in every scenario, Applicant A receives all ECOA reasons for denial. OK....I agree. Then he says that if Applicant B has bad credit, then Applicant B must receive only the reasons for denial that apply to applicant B....never heard of this.
Then, he said that if the bank bases the denial on information obtained from an outside source, such as an appraisal, not to forget to check the box which states that the bank made it's decision based on that "outside source" information. I thought that that particular statement was to be selected regarding information that bears upon the applicant's credit capacity.
Any comments are welcome. I'm worried we are doing this wrong. But if we abide by the above, I am worried that we WILL be doing it wrong.
