At the same time that workaround was tried, consumer received Elig/Caution in FHLMC due to foreclosure. Further investigation into FHLMC was not done due to borrower not 4 yrs past short sale. Sept. 2016: FNMA: A: CIC Tri-Merged Credit resulted in FNMA DO Approve/Ineligible with Suntrust showing as preforeclosure and payment history went to 9. B: Acranet Credit Tri-Merged resulted in FNMA DO Approve/Eligible with Suntrust showing as CHARGE-OFF and payment history went to 6. FHLMC: When tri-merge with Acranet used on 11/7/15, Eligible/Caution received with lates in payment history from 1 to 6. Then, consumer rec d Elig/Accept on 9/23/16 when credit infiles only were pulled from LPA. FHLMC support stated that this was because Equifax was not pulled on LPA Credit In-File.

The consumer was being turned down for a car loan at present due to foreclosure code.! The borrower closed on 6/6/16 and mortgage lates were within the last 12 months, making the loan ineligible for approval. However, this was not noted on case #8 as it was on case #9, a modification, as a primary reason for denial. The top reason for denial was the Foreclosure on the account.

Requires manual underwrite. Freddie Mac: Eligible/Accept: Approve Eligible/Caution: Decline. Requires manual underwrite. From author: Dissecting Detail of Data for Ten Cases all ten cases are set up in the same format. In Comments column on above Case Data Summary, Fannie Mae (FNMA) or Freddie Mac (FHLMC) differences are noted. This report concentrates on how the foreclosure code affects a new conventional mortgage with both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac automated systems. Some of these and additional cases have been run through both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac automated systems for an FHA or VA loan and receive an approval that notes that Total Scorecard was run additionally within the automated system. Though a loan approval results, the findings clearly state that there may be a previous pre-foreclosure or foreclosure and it leave the responsibility of getting this confirmed up to the lender. However, Case #10, where the past mortgage was a government modification, both the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac automated systems resulted in a Caution denial. A tri-merged credit report from CIC Credit was pulled for the first 9 cases. CBC Innovis was used for Case #10. Reference number and a date is shown on each case when available. A visual of the short sale, deed in lieu or modification credit trade line from the lender hard pull is shown when available. A snapshot of the individual bureau, or repositories of Experian, TransUnion and Equifax for that trade line is shown directly below it when available. Most often, all 3 bureaus show up for each tradeline. Occasionally, only two show up. However, the 3 rd bureau can be obtained from the credit reporting agency. The foreclosure credit code that is applied to credit of consumers with a past short sale, modification or excessive late payments on a past mortgage prolongs the ability to obtain a new conventional mortgage after four years to seven years, the wait timeframe required after a foreclosure. Fannie Mae All cases were run through the Fannie Mae Desktop Originator (DO) automated underwriting system (AUS) with tri-merged credit reports. Findings for an approval or declination and a visual of what we see is included. Also, a visual of what the blended trimerged credit in Fannie Mae looks like is provided when available. Fannie Mae has a workaround that is being successfully utilized for short sales, deeds in lieu and for modifications. It appears that once this workaround is done, future Fannie Mae Desktop Originator/Underwriter submissions, sometimes years later, reflect the changed information. There is no workaround for Freddie Mac. When a conventional loan receives a Caution denial due to a foreclosure, the lender name, account number and Date Reported show up in the Desktop Originator/Underwriter findings for the affected account. When the loan is approved with the Fannie Mae workaround, the date reported disappears from the account information on the findings. 4

6 Freddie Mac For Freddie Mac, cases #1-9 were run first through the Loan Product Advisor (LPA) with the lender tri-merged report from CIC credit. Then, the case was run again using the credit in-file option provided internally through the Freddie Mac LPA automated underwriting system (AUS) when possible. A snapshot of what Freddie Mac s tri-merged credit and separately, the credit in-files, is included when available. Case #10 was from an outside lender. A tri-merged credit from CBC Innovis credit reporting agency (CRA) was used. This CRA does not provide the ability to see all 3 credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) separately. However, customer support provided what each bureau showed verbally and this is stated on case #10. Every credit in-file pulled through Freddie Mac s LPA only shows Experian and Trans Union. On all files, Equifax request error shows where the Equifax credit was supposed to show up but did not appear to be run. This was discussed with Freddie Mac support who stated that if there is enough credit information on two bureaus, the 3 rd bureau does not pull. However, on case #6, upon receiving an Eligible/Accept when credit in-files were used on 3/10/17 compared to the Eligible/Caution when the tri-merge from Acranet was used on 11/7/15, a reason given was that the 3 rd bureau, Equifax, was not pulled and could have made the difference. An example of what verbiage for the exclusion of Equifax from LPA Credit In-Files looks like on all reports is shown below. There is no variation for foreclosure verbiage in Freddie Mac. In all cases the below verbiage appears under Credit & Liabilities within Messages on the Loan Product Advisor. 13. Recent foreclosure/signif derog appears on credit report appears in findings or it does not. Other remarks that are often included: 64. Crdt rpt w/recent mtg delinq or review mtg credit history YW. The Borrower has had a foreclosure within the last seven years. The mortgage file must also contain evidence of the completion of the foreclosure. On case #1, the past short sale account, the only mortgage account with any derogatory information, was not even found on the credit in files pulled through Freddie Mac s LPA. When Freddie Mac was called to question where the account that was producing the foreclosure verbiage was at, it was stated that this was in the RAW DATA on Freddie Mac s end, unable to be seen by a lender. Further it was noted that the foreclosure verbiage was listed under Experian. It was stated that the consumer would need to go to Experian to get this corrected. 5

7 Raw Data for credit does not look like what lenders see on the tri-merge credit or in the LPA Credit In-Files. Below are examples of what Raw Data looks like. Raw Data is often referred to as where the credit code for foreclosure can be found. Raw data is not viewable by consumers or lenders, though both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac customer support may be able to view raw data to determine which credit bureau the foreclosure code was applied by. Raw Data from Equifax Raw Data from Experian 6

8 Number of consumers at risk, HOW Problem continues 1. 1,978,754 short sales and deed in lieu were completed from 1/1/2010 through 12/31/2016. The wait timeframe after a short sale or deed-in-lieu is 4 years, rather than the 7 year wait timeframe after a foreclosure. 2. As of Dec. 31, 2016, 1,032,211 of those with a past short sale or deed-in-lieu are past the 4 year wait timeframe and are now eligible to re-enter the housing market. Any of these clients and additionally those who had a modification and many more who had excessive mortgage lates, will most likely encounter a new mortgage denial for a Fannie me or Freddie Mac conventional mortgage. 3. The foreclosure credit code that is applied to credit for a past short sale/pre-foreclosure, charge-off, modification or excessive late payments on a past mortgage prolongs those eligible to get a new conventional mortgage after four years to a seven year wait required after a foreclosure. 4. Please look at the payment pattern for case #4 (pgs 21-24). FNMA: Tri-merged DO credit up to 2 on Chase and 4 on WF HELOC and receives Appr/Elig. FHLMC: Tri-merge payment history goes to 5 and receives Elig/Caution. On LPA run with Credit Infiles, receives ELIGIBLE/ACCEPT findings and NO PAYMENT PATTERN SHOWS UP FOR CHASE OR WELLS FARGO. Could payment pattern where a number greater than 4 exists be higher in importance than MOP (Method of Payment) code? 5. It has been suggested that the foreclosure code on short sale credit may be incorrectly applied in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac automated systems. However, look at case #8. This was a consumer who did not have a short sale or a modification but did have excessive mortgage lates before finally selling her property with a small profit. However, this consumer learned of the foreclosure code applied to her excessive mortgage lates through Achieva Credit Union when she was turned down for a car loan after the property was sold. It would not be common practice for a lending institution to run a consumer car loan application through either the Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac automated underwriting systems used for mortgage approval purposes. 6. I am used to seeing this problem and the triggers because I seek this information from consumers, lenders and credit reporting agencies who encounter the foreclosure code on past short sale credit. Often, respectfully, underwriters, loan originators and even Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac customer support representatives must be directed to where it is believed the problem exists upon getting a denial through automated systems for either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac conventional submissions. Seeing the conflict and understanding why it is a problem for the affected consumers is time-consuming for lenders, consumers, credit reporting agencies and for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac support that helps with trying to get to the bottom of this problem. I have been told on multiple occasions, specifically by Freddie Mac support, that they are 7

9 getting an increase in calls from lenders questioning the LPA findings and the message under Credit and Liabilities that states foreclosure for a short sale mortgage account. 7. No lenders in the United States can be found that will allow for a manual underwriting of a conventional Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac conventional loan, though both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provide underwriting guidance and acceptance of a manual underwrite, outlined in their respective Seller/Servicing guides. Reasons given by lenders for why a manual underwrite is not done is that Reps and Warranties are not provided on manually underwritten conventional mortgages. Lenders also stated that the yield premium provided for manually underwritten loans is not high enough to cover the risk of a buyback of the loan. If: a. Manual underwriting for conventional Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages are not available b. Findings from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac automated systems continue to show a conventional mortgage denial due to an incorrect pre-foreclosure or foreclosure status for past short sales, modifications, or for a mortgage where none of the latter exists but mortgage lates were excessive c. The consumer has applied to a lender where Freddie Mac is the primary conventional product and there is no workaround, as there is in Fannie Mae then millions who have a past short sale, a modification or excessive mortgage lates will likely experience a conventional mortgage turndown when they are eligible to get a new conventional mortgage. 8. A second problem of the dispute, often applied when the foreclosure problem is attempted to be fixed. A dispute hides the actual credit from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac automated systems and must be removed from the credit when the consumer applies for a new mortgage. When the dispute is lifted, problematic credit comes back and most often credit scores plummet. This results in a higher rate for the consumer and the lender must pay for a Rapid Rescore, the quickest way for consumers to get a credit score change. This is highly problematic when found during a contract with a deadline. Lenders that end up paying for the Rapid Rescore often do not want to assist consumers where this problem is anticipated due to the cost they must incur. 9. A third problem of Date Reported is also shown in cases. Date Reported is the most recent request for change to an account and is the factor that automated systems read to see if an occurrence such as a short sale is within its required wait timeframe. It is also often the date of the dispute. This date cannot be changed per credit reporting agencies. 10. Both the Dispute and Date Reported problems are often the unintended consequence of an attempt by the consumer to correct the erroneous foreclosure code that shows up on their past short sale. 11. It is harder to get a consumer with a past short sale or modification approved for a new conventional mortgage than for consumers after a Bankruptcy or Foreclosure. There is no discrepancy when it comes to a a. Foreclosure b. DIL c. Bankruptcy There is discrepancy when it comes to a a. short sale/pre-foreclosure b. charge-off c. modification This confusion is often blamed on 1 or more of these parties: a. FNMA b. FHLMC c. Credit Reporting Agencies d. Short Sale lenders 12. This same problem has already started to repeat itself with negative equity non-fannie Mae/non-Freddie Mac 1st mortgages and modifications where no refinance exists and lenders insist on mortgage delinquency first before any assistance can be provided.
