Zero Loan
Fraud Policy
All
employees and salespersons of Global Mortgage VLC, Inc. must
be aware that the loan officer/employee may bear the
responsibility for any and all instances of fraud in loan
origination/closing. Global Mortgage VLC, Inc. is
responsible for the content and quality of each application
taken and each loan submitted to our lenders.
The
submission of a loan application containing false
information is a crime! Evidence of loan fraud of any type
will result in the immediate termination, for cause, of any
Global Mortgage VLC, Inc. employee or salesperson.
TYPES OF
LOAN FRAUD
1.
Submission of inaccurate information, including false
statements on a loan application and falsification of
documents purporting to substantiate credit, employment,
deposit and asset information, personal information
including identity, ownership/non-ownership of real
property, etc.
2.
Forgery of partially or predominantly accurate information,
including forged signatures on any document in the loan
file.
3.
Incorrect statements regarding current occupancy or intent
to maintain minimum continuing occupancy as stated in the
security instrument.
4. Lack
of due diligence by broker/loan
officer/interviewer/processor, including failure to obtain
all information required by the application and failure to
request further information as dictated by Borrower’s
response to other questions.
5.
Unquestioned acceptance of information or documentation
which is known, should be known, or should be suspected to
be inaccurate.
6.
Simultaneous or consecutive processing of multiple
owner-occupied loans from one applicant on multiple
properties, or from one applicant supplying different
information on each application.
7.
Allowing an applicant or interested third-party to “assist”
with the processing of the loan.
8.
Nondisclosure of relevant information to anyone involved in
the loan process (i.e. lender, title company, etc.).
CONSEQUENCES
The effect of loan fraud is costly to all
parties involved. Veridian Financial stands behind the quality of its loan
production. Fraudulent loans damage our reputation with our
lenders. The price paid by those who participate in loan
fraud is even more costly. Following are a few of the
potential consequences that may be incurred:
CONSEQUENCES TO SALESPERSON/EMPLOYEE
1.
Criminal prosecution.
2. Loss
of Real Estate license.
3. Loss
of lender access due to exchange of information between
lenders, and submission of information to investors
(including FHLMC/FNMA), police agencies, and the Department
of Real Estate.
4.
Civil action by our lender.
5.
Civil action by applicant/borrower or other parties to the
transaction.
6. Loss
of approval status with our lenders.
CONSEQUENCES TO BORROWER
1.
Acceleration of debt. (FNMA/FHLMC Deed of Trust, revised
9/90, item #6 states: “Borrower shall also be in default if
Borrower, during the loan application process, gave
materially false or inaccurate information of statements to
lender (or failed to provide lender with any material
information) in connection with the loan evidenced by the
note, including, but not limited to, representations
concerning Borrower’s occupancy of the property as a
principal residence.” NOTE: Foreclosure under this section
of the Deed of Trust does not require the Borrower to be in
“payment default.” As such, the Borrower will not have the
benefit of reinstatement. In order to cure the default, the
Borrower must pay-off the loan in full prior to the sale
date of the property.)
2.
Criminal prosecution.
3.
Civil action by lender.
4.
Civil action by other parties to the transaction.
5.
Employment termination.
6. Loss
of professional license, if any.
7.
Adverse effect on credit history.
