ECOA Codes

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page  Print this Topic

If the ECOA Code field is blank on either the Customer Relationship Management > Households screen or Loans > Marketing and Collections screen > CIF tab in CIM GOLD, GOLDPoint Systems converts the ownership code for all co-borrowers to the defined ECOA code shown below. The ECOA Code is reported to the credit repositories using Base Field 37, J1 Segment Field 10, and J2 Segment Field 10 (see the Credit Report and transmission section).

Note: If an ownership code is not defined, it is defaulted to 1 (individual) for all borrowers. See the CIF section for more information on the ownership code.

If an IRS owner has ECOA Code "Q" set up, Error 19 will appear on the Credit Report (FPSRP184) and that account will not be included in the transmission sent to credit repositories. See the Account Warnings/Errors topic in the Credit Report section for more information.
