SERVICING
SYSTEM GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS
Loading/Updating
Investor Headers
|
1.
|
Bank
of America will provide investor header matrix for input on MSP by
Servicer. Updates/additions will occur monthly, including new investor
header detail for each new deal that is
settled.
|
|
2.
|
The
Servicer will load investor headers upon receipt or before month end. The
following fields will need to be updated on IN03: MS OPT, MS INV CNTRL NO,
MS MO DELQ, and MS JUST FL.
|
|
3.
|
The
Servicer will update the investor headers on the first business day of the
next/following month to ensure that the correct loan accounts will appear
on the corresponding 413 file that will represent the new month’s
activity.
|
Loading
Account Numbers
|
1.
|
Upon
receipt of a funding schedule, Bank of America will deliver a cross
reference of Servicer-to-Bank of America account numbers to the servicer.
The account numbers will be delivered in the xxxx 55 layout for loading in
the next Servicer MSP cycle.
|
|
2.
|
The
Servicer will load account numbers on the first business day of the month
to ensure that the correct Bank of America account numbers will appear on
the corresponding 413 file that will represent the new month’s
activity.
|
Automated
Monetary Transaction File – 413
|
1.
|
Call
Fidelity PowerCell and request installation of IP
1804
|
|
2.
|
On
the first business day of the month, the financial transactions for the
LSBO portfolio will transmit from the Servicer MSP system to the Bank of
America MSP system.
|
Monthly
Servicer File – Automated
|
1.
|
Call
Fidelity PowerCell and initiate an SSR for the installation of IP 1804 and
the interchange set-up required to host and transmit this
file. This enhancement will provide an automated month-end feed
from the Servicer to Bank of America for the LSBO portfolio identified by
the corresponding investor headers. The feed will include all
new loans purchased by Bank of America in the previous month, as well as a
maintenance file for all existing loans in the LSBO
portfolio
|
|
2.
|
Once
installed, populate XX flag on the IN03 screen. This flag will
assist with synchronizing the feeds received in the Monthly Servicer File
and the corresponding 413 file.
|
|
3.
|
Bank
of America will receive and process the electronic file on the first
business day of the month for the previous month-end
file. Note: This file
comes from the servicer automatically with the
installation of the IP.
|

Monthly
Servicer File – Manual
For
testing purposes, and in the event that the IP is not installed prior to initial
conversion, a manual process is in place to provide the Monthly Servicer File
data feed for remote MSP
clients.
|
1.
|
The
Servicer will load/update investor header information received from Bank
of America.
|
|
2.
|
The
Servicer will send an email granting permission to Fidelity to provide the
manual feed of accounts in the assigned investor headers identified. The
email will contain the MSP client and corresponding investor/categories to
be included in the feed.
|
|
3.
|
Bank
of America will receive and process the file on the first business day of
the month for the previous month-end
file.
|
Note: For
licensed
MSP clients, the servicer will install and use the existing work-around
EZTrieve process. (This will require the installation, testing, and
implementation of the EZTrieve until the IP is ready.) The servicer will be
required to develop a test file and production files until the IP is
available.
Reporting
Requirements
Required
reports for the LSBO project are as follows:
|
·
|
Scheduled Remittance
Reports – Servicers send on a monthly basis. We would
like this report by the 5th
business day.
|
|
·
|
Delinquency Report –
Report from the servicer to be sent by the 5th
business day. If the servicer is a Fidelity client, we would
like a P4DL report. Otherwise, a similar report will
suffice. LSBO would like this report sent via e-mail or
fax.
|
Note: These reports
are automatically generated when the cutoff is calendared. The
reports are required for the LSBO project; reports in addition to these may be
reasonably required in a format mutually agreed by the Owner and the
Servicer.
