Not solely time dependent criteria For those who didn t recover (do not meet agency selling guidelines) yet, we estimate when they will One conservative estimation approach Time dependent criteria Determine when enough time has elapsed to meet the criteria Unpaid judgements, garnishments, or outstanding liens Tradelines past due Assume they don t get paid and will roll off the credit report 7 years after they first appear If tradeline is 30 days past due, assume consumer will cure the following month If tradeline is 60+ days past due, assume it will roll to charge-off Credit score If credit score was <620 in the Bubble (2006) and Currently (2014), assume it will not reach 620 going forward* If credit score was >620 in the Bubble (2006), assume it will reach >620 when all other criteria are satisfied Exception: if the consumer has a charge-off, we assume their score will rise to 620 24 months after charge-off first appeared *Conservative approach to estimate number of consumers that might not be able to re-enter the mortgage market Note: VantageScore 3.0 used as consumer credit score 2015 TransUnion LLC All Rights Reserved 22

Lenders can use these insights to explore a number of potential applications 1. Improve or create triggers/prescreen programs to identify when impacted consumers qualify, so you can tailor collateral addressing their journey (i.e., mortgagor impacted recovered) and potential concerns about re-entering the mortgage market after their experiences 2. Identify impacted consumers likely to recover soon in your existing credit education programs; educate them on re-entering the mortgage space; this could generate good will for when the consumer fully recovers and is deciding with whom to book a mortgage 3.
