SEE ALSO: How Loan Applications Work with the Household Database

For household, this screen is used to record real estate debts owed by the member of the household, including mortgages and home equity loans, balance information for all non-real estate loan accounts. It also lists debts other than normal loan accounts, including line-of-credit accounts, credit cards, child support payments, alimony, etc.

  • NOTE: If the loan is a line-of-credit type account, the LOC checkbox will be checked.

  • NOTE:  Update debts are highlighted.

Authorized Users

Tradlines that have the Account Designator of an ‘A’ which is for an Authorized User will NOT be brought into the debts tab in either the loan application or household screens.

Using the Type Column

Use the Type column to quickly view the type of debts the member has. Use the legend at the bottom of the screen.

When ready, use Enter to save and proceed to the next screen, or use any of the tabs at the top of the screen to proceed directly to the desired area of the application.

When possible by calculations in CU*BASE, the rate is estimated and appears on this screen to help cross-sell members on moving loans from other institutions to your credit union. If the debt is not pre-filled on this screen place the cursor on the loan in the list and use the images\magnifyingglasslookup_shg.gifnext to the rate field to display the Rate Estimator window. Any data from that line will be filled into the estimator, or you can manually enter the data yourself when the window appears.

Make an Offer Using the "Refinance Trigger" Feature (in the Est Rate Column)

Take advantage of the “Refi Triggers” feature. This automated system reviews the tradelines of your member's credit report and if your credit union can offer a better rate on a loan, the screen will highlight the estimated rate in the Est Rate column. (Green is used for consumer loans; yellow when you offer a better credit card interest rate.) To activate this feature, configure a comparison rate on the Configure Refi Triggers screen.

Once activated, use the lookup next to the Est Rate column to access the Calculate Rate Opportunity screen where you can calculate and make a counter "Refi Offer."

Learn more in the Configuring Tools for your Loan Team booklet, the Loan Application Debts screen, and the Configure Product Refi Triggers screen.
