When analyzing a borrower's credit report, an MLO finds several authorized user accounts. How should these tradelines be considered in the credit evaluation?
Correct Answer
D) They can be considered if they demonstrate good payment history and help establish creditworthiness
Authorized user accounts can be considered in credit evaluation when they demonstrate positive payment history and help establish the borrower's creditworthiness. However, underwriters may give them less weight than primary tradelines since the authorized user isn't legally responsible for the debt. The key is whether these accounts contribute positively to the borrower's credit profile.
