A processor asks how to handle a file where the file has borrower statements but no verified ability-to-repay analysis. Which response is most accurate?

Correct Answer

C) Verify repayment ability before consummation using reliable records

Lines 207-214; 12 CFR 1026.43(c)(1). The ATR rule requires a pre-consummation determination based on reliable information, not unsupported statements or collateral alone. Therefore, the correct response is "Verify repayment ability before consummation using reliable records".

Answer Options
A
Use a manager exception instead of the required federal mortgage rule.
B

C
Verify repayment ability before consummation using reliable records
D
Apply the rule only after a regulator requests the file.
