A lender receives a pre-application inquiry from a borrower who provides their name, income, and property address but does not submit a formal application. Six months later, the same borrower submits a complete application. How should this be reported under HMDA?
Correct Answer
B) Report only the formal application since the inquiry was incomplete
Under Regulation C, only applications that result in a credit decision or are withdrawn by the applicant are reportable. Pre-application inquiries that do not result in an application are not reported separately. The formal application is the reportable event.
