This has created an environment of uncertainty for mortgage lenders, who have relied on this data for more than two decades to evaluate consumer home loan applications.
“Aligning with industry leader LexisNexis was critical in our efforts to addressing this impending information gap for our customers,” said Jay Giesen, senior vice president,
LexisNexis Risk Solutions has observed that borrowers who have a judgment or tax lien are 5 ½ times more likely to end up in pre-foreclosure or foreclosure, as compared to borrowers who don’t have judgments and tax liens, making this information vital for lenders. According to LexisNexis Risk Solutions, this new RiskView Liens & Judgments Report delivers technology advancements that bolster the reliability of lien and civil judgment content, with greater than 99 percent reliability and full compliance with Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations.
“Factual Data approached us early in our development effort and recognized the importance of liens and judgments data for their customers,” said Tim Coyle, senior director, real estate and mortgage at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “The report will assist a lender’s ability to assess an applicant’s ability to pay, minimize related closing delays and comply with investor requirements. Factual Data’s extensive integrations with customers and leading industry platforms will make it simple for customers to adapt and protect themselves from the upcoming credit report content change.”
The report will be available from Factual Data in July. For more information on this and other services, please contact Factual Data at:
