Millions of aspiring homeowners apply for mortgages every year. It can be a time-intensive, exhaustive process requiring applicants and lenders alike to wade through seemingly endless stacks of paperwork to evaluate the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. Thanks to SettlementOne, that tedious process is now a thing of the past. Our credit and data verification services offer a streamlined process that compiles updated asset and income data directly from financial institutions. This intuitive approach simultaneously offers consumers a better overall experience and offers lenders the optimized workflow efficiency, greater transparency, and FCRA compliance they require to make better decisions.

Facilitating Smooth Credit Verification

Determining a potential borrower’s credit worthiness is dependent on several factors. For decades, SettlementOne has delivered millions of efficient, accurate and dependable credit reports to lenders across the country. By leveraging our innovative, web-based credit reporting platform, loan officers can effectively mitigate risk based on verifiable data and conduct real-time activity monitoring. Concise reports sourced from one, two or three bureau credit bureau agencies are accessible almost instantaneously. The following is a brief overview of the inclusive range of services SettlementOne offers lenders to optimize their underwriting and lending processes:

• Business Credit Report: Utilizing third-party, objective data to paint a comprehensive view of potential commercial customers and prospects, this remarkably in-depth profile identifies business payment performance, public record history and background information so lenders can more thoroughly evaluate the creditworthiness of a business.

Our credit reports are intended to empower lenders to make confident lending decisions based on reliable data, taking the guesswork out of the equation and reducing potential risk.
• EZ Error Correction: Inaccurate information provided by lenders to credit bureaus results in reduced credit scores. Studies indicate that more than a third of all credit reports contain at least one error, an alarming statistic for lenders.

Consumers simply enter the tradelines that contain incorrect information and SettlementOne will contact the bureaus on their behalf—resolving any errors within 30 to 45 days with no cost to the lender or their borrowers.
• Rapid Rescore: Even a few points on a credit score can make a huge difference on the overall cost of a borrower’s mortgage—or even their ability to obtain initial loan approval.
