COLLECTION POLICY
Collections and delinquencies are managed utilizing technology to minimize account delinquencies by promoting satisfactory customer relations. The Servicer’s collection policy is designed to maximize cash flow into the organization and assist each customer with the management of his or her account while enjoying the vacation ownership experience. Technological capabilities include predictive dialer, integrated software modules, automated lock box processing, and automated credit card processing.
The Servicer’s collection department manages loan delinquencies by both phone and mail contact with the borrower initiated at 10 days from the time a loan becomes delinquent. At 30 days delinquent, the Servicer typically sends another letter advising the obligor to bring the account current while collection calls continue. Once the account reaches 60 days delinquent, the borrower is notified by mail that his/her loan balance has accelerated.
Summary of collection timeline:
Upon boarding | Customer service team conducts welcome calls. |
10 Days Past Due | A past due notice is generated and mailed. |
Collection calls commence.

UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES
POLICY AND PROCEDURE | |
Subject: Loyalty Level Credit Underwriting Scope: Sales, Contracts, Accounting, Controller, and other resort team members Location: Select DRI Sales Centers / DRI Global Headquarters | Procedure No.: DRFS-00006 Revision Date: 6/27/2012 Effective: July 31, 2000 |
PURPOSE:
This policy establishes guidelines for Credit Underwriting. Any changes to this policy must be approved by the Chief Financial Officer.
POLICY:
1) | It is the objective of DRFS's (“company”) credit underwriting policy is to be fair to all applicants and to evaluate all loan applications fairly based on the ability of the applicant to repay the debt in a timely manner. |
2) | It is the objective of our contracts and underwriting processes to: |
a. | produce loans that are conservatively underwritten with appropriate down payments consistent with the underlying credit risk; |
b. | operate independent of the sales process; |
c. | efficiently produce loans free of collateral taints and conflicts; and |
d. | produce loans in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
3) | Such objectives require a system of controls and checks and balances and will generate assets with appropriate balance of risk and reward that will well serve all of the Diamond Resorts constituents. The foregoing policy and processes must be applied completely and consistently. |
4) | Prohibition Against Discrimination: |
It is the policy of Diamond Resorts to review each loan on a case-by-case basis, to determine the creditworthiness of the applicant. In evaluating a credit application, DRFS will review and consider information that has a demonstrable relationship to the credit decision. The company shall not take into account or discriminate against any applicant on a prohibited basis, including discrimination:
a. | on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex or marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract); |
b. | because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or |
c. | because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act or any state law upon which an exemption has been granted under said Act. |
EXHIBIT D (Underwriting Guidelines), Page 1
5) | Underwriting Process: |
Diamond Resorts will review each loan application, taking into account the following guidelines and requirements.
a. | The amount financed for any one loan may not exceed $50,000. Additional down payments will be required for new loans, including balances on existing loans being wrapped, that exceed the $50,000 loan cap. |
b. | All new financed sales are subject to credit underwriting by DRFS. |
c. | It is the responsibility of the sales site (Quality Assurance Officer or Sales manager) to advise the customer that the loan request is subject to underwriting approval. |
d. | The credit underwriting will be authorized by personnel in the DRFS Contracts Department. (All persons authorized to make credit decisions on behalf of DRFS shall be granted this authority by the Director, National Contracts and Credit.) |
e. | DRFS management or their designee will approve every financed sale before a loan is scheduled for escrow close. Such approval will include: |
1. | a complete and accurate contract that is in compliance with Diamond Resorts policy, and |
2. | a credit bureau report for all financed sales, including any transaction for existing owners; or |
3. | when a credit report is not available, a Credit Exception Form as described below |
Note: All exceptions will require documentation on a Credit Exception Form, which must accompany the document file and require signature approval by the VP Client Services, Director, National Contracts and Credit or the Director, Operations.
6) | Xxxxxx (sale status) |
a. | If DRFS denies approval of a financed sale, the Sales Center will be advised and the contract may be returned for remediation. DRFS may classify the sale as a “xxxxxx” (see separate policy), thus allowing up to 60 days for remediation. Sales will be provided 10 days notice prior to expiration of the 60 day “xxxxxx” period. Given expiration of the 60 day “xxxxxx” period with no resolution, DRFS will effect cancellation of the sale and direct return of the escrow deposit to the customer |
b. | Further, any related sales commissions will either be cancelled (if accrued and not paid) or netted against future commissions (if already paid.) |
7) | Underwriting Criteria |
a. | Credit underwriting is performed by reviewing the completed credit application and the credit bureau report and/or performance history with the company. |
b. | All financed sales packages must include a completed credit application, signed by all borrowing parties. |
c. | A credit report is required for all financed sales, including existing owners. |
d. | Existing owners |
a. | For upgrade or add-on transactions of existing owners, a credit report will be required, although credit may be granted considering their performance history with Diamond. In the case of an existing delinquency on an existing Diamond Resorts loan, applicants will be required to resolve this delinquency by making a separate payment to bring the loan current, i.e., such payment posted to the account, before they may proceed with the new transaction. |
b. | No credit score or lack of history requires a minimum 30% down payment. |
EXHIBIT D (Underwriting Guidelines), Page 2
e. | When a credit report / risk score / credit history is not available, a Credit Exception Form (see Exhibit 1) must be completed with the reason clearly stated as to why the credit report / risk score / credit history is not available. Either the VP Client Services, Director, National Contracts and Credit or the Director, Operations must provide signature authorization for any and all exceptions per the Credit Exception Form. The credit report and/or Credit Exception Form must be included as part of the credit file. A credit exception will not delay the close of escrow. |
f. | A minimum 30% down payment is required when no credit report is available. |
g. | Minimum down payment (see Exhibit 2) in U.S. funds. Diamond Resorts employees or independent contractors may not contribute to this down payment in any form. The source of down payment must be the borrower(s). Should the down payment be contributed in whole or in part by a third party not participating in the credit transaction, the monies must be accompanied by a letter signed by that party indicating the money is a gift and is not expected to be repaid. |
h. | No bankruptcy within the previous 12 months period for both deeded inventory and trust based sales. More specifically, no approvals for pre-settlement cases; a post-settlement period of 12 months required unless otherwise approved by the VP Client Services, Director, National Contracts and Credit or the Director, Operations. |
i. | Judgments or liens on deeded property sales must be closed or meet the following criteria: |
j. | Civil judgments or open public record's less than 10K will not require exceptions. |
k. | Tax liens less than 1K will not require exceptions |
l. | All other civil judgments, open public record's or tax liens that do no meet this criteria must be approved by the VP Client Services, Director, National Contract and Credit , or the Director of Operations. |
m. | Civil judgments or liens on trust based sales shall not be a factor in extending credit for applicant(s) that otherwise qualifies in accordance with the current credit underwriting policy. |
8) | Exceptions to Policy: |
It is the expectation of DRFS that this policy will address the vast majority of sales transactions. However, the company recognizes that this policy cannot address every situation that is likely to arise in the purchase and lending process. Therefore, the company grants total authority to the VP Client Services, Director, National Contracts and Credit or the Director of Operations to grant exceptions to this policy on a discretionary basis. Each exception granted shall be documented in 1) the credit file. Notwithstanding such exception authority, all transactions must comply with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

Loyalty Credit Underwriting/Sales Program
*Interest Rate on wrap/upgrade loans will be calculated as a weighted average between the rate on the existing loan being wrapped/upgraded and the qualifying rate on the new purchase per table.
Notes:
1. | If multiple Purchasers: the Purchaser with best FICO Tier / Score will be the qualifier for the down payment and interest rate per the above table. If one or more purchaser(s) is a Tier 7 and/or has an open Bankruptcy they may remain on the purchase providing a least one purchaser qualifies for financing with Tier 1 to Tier 6 credit and does not have an open Bankruptcy. |
2. | Any loan with a FICO score less 600 will be considered grey paper financing. Commissions will be paid based on the current grey paper policy of 50% regular commission paid when sale is made active, 25% of regular commission after 6 timely payments; 25% of regular commission after 12 timely payments. |
3. | Any loan in which a credit exception is granted for any reason will fall into the grey paper financing category regardless of FICO Score. Commissions will be paid based on the current grey paper policy of 50% regular commission paid when sale is made active, 25% of regular commission after 6 timely payments; 25% of regular commission after 12 timely payments. |
4. | A minimum 30% down payment is required when no credit report is available. The interest rate is determined per the actual rate in the above table, utilizing the 575 - 599 FICO SCORE range, given the level of down payment, i.e., “30.00 -which is currently 17.99%. |
5. | UPGRADES: Can either be paid-in-full or non-paid-in-full subject to Upgrade Contract Policy: 10% down payment on incremental sale amount for existing owners with a FICO >649; interest rate determined solely per above matrix (equity plus 10% cash down payment used to determine interest rate for 20% down payment option.) The “no credit report” minimum down payment requirement of 30% takes precedent over any and all existing owner down payment requirements. |
6. | ADD ONS: Must receive 10% down payment for existing owners with a FICO >649. The rate on the add-on will be per the above table. The “no credit report” minimum down payment requirement of 30% takes precedent over any and all “existing-owner” down payment requirements. |
7. | WRAPS: Must receive 10% down payment on the incremental sales amount for existing owners with a FICO >649. The rate on the wrap will be per the above table. The “no credit report” minimum down payment requirement of 30% takes precedent over any and all “existing-owner” down payment requirements. Interest rates will be a weighted average of the rate on the existing loan being wrapped and the rate on the new purchase based on grid above. |
8. | Civil Judgments and Open Public Record's (including medical bills) must be closed or be less than $10,000.00 for deeded sales. Civil judgments or liens on trust based sales shall not be a factor in extending credit for applicant(s) that otherwise qualifies in accordance with the current credit underwriting policy. |
9. | State and county tax liens must be closed or less than $1,000. |
10. | Bankruptcies must be closed for a period of 12 months. |
11. | Loan amount may not exceed $50,000 |
