CoreLogic Credco Introduces GSE-Compliant, Fully Automated Suite of Prefunding Products for Lenders

SANTA ANA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- CoreLogic Credco, the nation's leading provider of merged credit reporting solutions to the mortgage industry and a division of CoreLogic (NYSE: CLGX), a leading provider of consumer, financial and property information, analytics and services, today announced the introduction of FinalCheck, an automated, fully decisionable suite of prefunding risk evaluation products that instantly verify credit, application and fraud data in an easy-to-read report. FinalCheck is designed to help lenders satisfy government sponsored entity (GSE) requirements, reduce repurchase risk and increase loan delivery confidence.

The FinalCheck suite consists of three critical data verification products: CreditCheck, AppCheck and FraudCheck. CreditCheck performs a "gap" analysis on credit information between pre-approval and prefunding; AppCheck searches against proprietary CoreLogic loan application databases and the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS) for undisclosed loans; and FraudCheck verifies that neither the borrower or loan participants are on a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or other investor exclusionary list. The result is a powerful set of reporting tools that provide lenders critical insight on any potential prefunding risk indicators before submitting the loan to the GSE.

"According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's 2011 origination forecasts, we estimate that 672,000 applicants will have their debt-to-income increase by more than three percent between pre-qualification and pre-funding, making those loans a candidate for rejection or a buyback," said John Bauer, senior vice president of Credit and Transportation Services for CoreLogic Credco. "Additionally, 765,000 loan applicants will have a debt-to-income (DTI) that exceeds 45 percent at pre-funding, putting those loans at risk as well. The FinalCheck suite of products plays a critical, proactive role in monitoring debt-to-income ratios and other loan risk factors that could surface just prior to loan submission."

The FinalCheck suite of products is powered by nd Merge, the Credco proprietary merge technology platform that powers ENCORE and other advanced data reporting solutions for the mortgage industry. Nd Merge technology allows the FinalCheck products to quickly collect, combine and organize diverse and powerful data risk factors into an easy-to-interpret reporting format. Generated in seconds, FinalCheck allows mortgage professionals to make fast, reliable lending decisions at prefunding to help them ensure the integrity of the loan prior to GSE submission and avoid loan buy-backs.

"The introduction of the FinalCheck suite is in direct response to recent changes in GSE prefunding requirements," continued Bauer. "As new industry requirements arise, we will continue to develop and add new products to the FinalCheck suite to help lenders minimize prefunding risk and deliver quality mortgage loans."
