Consumer Lending: Overview of Credit History & More
Determining recurring and sustainable income and cash flow are the important first step in consumer lending. Equally important are the applicant’s credit history and the collateral that will serve as a secondary source of repayment. This seminar is a practical guide to credit bureau reports, issues with collateral, and a brief overview of the regulatory, compliance and fair lending environment. Because of the automated nature of much consumer lending, we’ll focus on recognizing exceptions to established policies and practices, and how to properly mitigate these risks, plus when it makes sense to ask for a policy waiver.
