In this edition, we address the following HMDA compliance and reporting questions:
- When an AUS Result Changes
Our first AUS result was Refer/Eligible; however, after correcting income and assets, the final submission returned Approve/Eligible, and we relied on the final result to originate the loan. Which AUS result should we report on the LAR? - Incomplete Applications – Denied or Closed for Incompleteness
We have a HMDA file that had both a notice of incomplete application and a denial notice for incomplete application. How should we report this application on the LAR? - When a HELOC is a Home Purchase
We have a borrower who took out a home equity line of credit (HELOC) secured by the borrower’s current residence, and the borrower stated the funds will be used as a down payment to buy another property. How should Loan Purpose be reported? - When a Modification Becomes a Reportable Refinance
Our commercial lender renewed a commercial loan secured by an eight-unit apartment building. The maturity date was extended by five years, the interest rate was increased, and $1,200 of existing interest and fees were added to the loan balance. Is this loan renewal HMDA reportable? - Selecting the Correct Federal Agency Code
Our institution is a commercial lender that is not affiliated with any depository institution. Which Federal Agency code should we report in our HMDA LAR submission header?
