23A Loan Request Question - 09/24/01 03:39 PM
First situation: If a request for an application for a loan for this purpose is rec'd and we have no room under the statutory limit, and we advise that we cannot accept the application because we cannot make any of those kinds of loans at present, I am thinking that this is akin to a turn down for "policy reasons", meaning it is not truly "adverse action".
Second situation: If after an application has been rec'd and is in process, we find out the funds are going to be used to payoff debt at the non-bank affiliate, how would you code the treatment of the application - I am concerned about calling it a decline or withdrawal when it is not truly either. We are saying, now that we know what funds are for, we can't continue with this application.
These are mortgages, so it is usually impractical for the client to pledge collateral that would take the loan out from under 23A coverage.
