Subject
"Full-File" Reporting to Credit Repositories
Part IV, Section 107, of the servicing Guide currently requires servicers to report only 90-day delinquencies to the four major credit repositories. To ensure that the repositories have up-to-date information for both servicing and origination activity, we have decided to begin requiring -- as of the month ending March 31, 1996 -- servicers to provide the credit repositories a "full-file" status report for the mortgages they service for us.
"Full-file" reporting requires that servicers submit a monthly report to each of the credit repositories to describe the exact status for each mortgage they service for us. The status reported generally should be the one in effect as of the last business day of each month. Servicers may, however, use a slightly later cut-off date -- for example, at the and of the first week of a month -- to assure• that payment corrections, returned checks, and other adjustments related to the previous month's activity can be appropriately reflected in their report for that month. Statuses that must be reported for any given mortgage include the following: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed and charged-off. (The credit repositories will provide the applicable codes for reporting these statuses to them.) A listing of each of the major repositories to which "full-file" status reports must be sent is attached.
Servicers are responsible for the complete and accurate reporting of mortgage status information to the repositories and for resolving any disputes that arise about the information they report. Servicers must respond promptly to any inquiries from borrowers regarding specific mortgage status information about them that was reported to the credit repositories.
Servicers should contact their Customer Account Team in their lead Xxxxxx Xxx regional office if they have any questions about this expanded reporting requirement.
