This was outside of the scope of the audit I am doing, but I couldn't help noticing that our processing staff is pulling CB reports prior to our getting the assignment of a dealer note.
It looks to me like we are pulling the report for them to underwrite, they do the Note and assign to us, and then we are filing the primary lien.
I think we do not have a legitimate purpose in pulling the report .....besides, aren't we functioning outside of our arrangement with credit reporting agencies when we start reporting credit to a third party?
Mgmt thinks our dealer arrangement is our cover.
Am I right in searching the FCRA for ammo in my favor?
