My gut reaction is that loan modifications would not fall under the risk-based pricing notice...Any thoughts on this? I am trying to articulate on paper why it would not apply to loan mods...

You can find this in the federal register published on January 15, 2010 (75 FR 2752)

Kristin09....I was under the same impression, but am beginning to second guess those thoughts. I think it may apply and would be interested in other's thoughts.

Section 222.75 of the regulations says:

"A consumer is entitled to no more than one risk-based pricing notice under §222.72(a) or (c), or one notice under §222.74(d), (e), or (f), for each grant, extension, or other provision of credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if a consumer has previously received a risk-based pricing notice in connection with a grant, extension, or other provision of credit, another risk-based pricing notice is required if the conditions set forth in §222.72(d) have been met."
222.75

The exception in 222.72(d) is for an account review situation where the lender uses a consumer report to increase the APR on an existing loan.

Thanks for the excerpt Ted. I think you found what I was looking for...if we increase the APR and use a consumer report with regards to a modification, then we would have to provide a risk-based pricing notice. If there is no incerase in the APR with regards to the loan mod or the consumer report was NOT the driving force in the increase of the APR, a risk-based pricing notice would not be required.

Do you agree?

Almost, except for the "driving force" language. If you have an APR increase that is based even "in part" on a consumer report, the requirement applies. So, I would be very hesitant to rely on that unless you can show that the consumer report played NO part in the APR increase.

If we are only required to provide notice one time on an extension of credit, what would happen if the credit was originated in 2010, it has matured and we are renewing the credit for another 12 months...when we do this renewal 9after 1/1/2011, would a notice be required since we did not ever give them one in 2010 when notices weren't required??? Make sense?
Thank you!!

I would think only if you are increasing the APR based off of information in a credit report.

So even though we have never given them a notice (credit originated in 2010), and we are only extending the maturity date now, no notice needs to be provided......

I would say that is correct. I see nothing grandfathering in account reviews of accounts originated prior to the RBPN rules.

We have decided to provide the credit score exception notices in lieu of the RBPN.

If I'm reading this thread correctly, if we have a loan workout where a loan was modified and the APR was increased, we could possibly be required to provide an RBPN because of the account review rules. So, does this mean we need to go through all of the trouble to determine who receives one using the credit score proxy method (we price based on credit score) in order to know who should really recieve one? Or, is the account review section solely by itself, and requires that you provide an RBPN anytime an APR as increased for this situation?

A loan review for RPBN purposes does not involve a workout or a modification. A loan review for RPBN purposes is when there is a contingency in a credit contract that says if your credit deterioates, we can raise your APR. This is normally associated with lines of credit or credit cards. I have never seen such a contingency in a closed-end credit.

Off the subject, but it's good to see there are other Jayhawk fans out there. I'm from Kansas but now in WV.

It is my understanding that this Credit Score Exception Notice is required for all consumer loans irregardless of whether there is real estate involved or not, for instance, vehicle loans, loans for boats, etc... We would provide model form H-3 for loans secured by residential real property and model form H-4 for all other types of consumer loans???

Thanks

Can I bring this thread back for review?

(We utilize the exception notice)

If at renewal/modification of a balloon mortgage, does an exception notice need to be provided if we reviewed credit AND increased their rate?

Secondly, if we utilize risk based pricing at origination, we are required to utilize a similar risk based pricing model for renewals as well?

What if rates have generally decreased since origination. The maturing loan was originated at 5%. Cur CURRENT rate offering for new credit (Tier 1) is 4.5%. MUST we give this Tier 1 borrower the same CURRENT rate of 4.5%? Or could we simply hold the rate of 5%, etc....



Thanks!

Sec. 1022.72 General requirements for risk-based pricing notices.

(a) In general. Except as otherwise provided in this subpart, a person must provide to a consumer a notice (“risk-based pricing notice”) in the form and manner required by this subpart if the person both:

(1) Uses a consumer report in connection with an application for, or a grant, extension, or other provision of, credit to that consumer that is primarily for personal, family, or household purposes;


Secondly, if we utilize risk based pricing at origination, we are required to utilize a similar risk based pricing model for renewals as well?

No.
