Q

Excludes borrower from credit reporting on this account. ECOA Code Q is not a code recognized by the credit repositories or the CDIA. This code is used to tell CIM GOLD to exclude the borrower from being reported on a particular loan.  For example, if the loan has four borrowers and your institution only wants to report the credit history of the two primary borrowers, the remaining borrowers should be marked with ECOA Code Q. In the case of a trust or business entity, if you do not want the guarantors to be reported to the credit repositories, you should uncheck the Report to Credit Bureau field for the loan on the Loans > Account Information > Fees and Late Charges and Penalties screen, Late Fees tab.


T

Association with account terminated (This is used by the system for the sellers in an assumption (Loans > Loan Assumption screen).)

Undefined

W

Business/Commercial (Used to identify that the company reported in the name fields is contractually liable for the account.)
