Non-traditional Borrower Credit Report

Sometimes you are approached by a borrower who doesn't have a credit history, or whose history is insufficient for you to make a full assessment of the risk involved in funding that loan. The repositories cannot provide you with enough data so that you feel comfortable making a lending decision, so Informative Research can help you fill in the report with alternative trade data.

Many borrowers who fall into the non-traditional category have established accounts with organizations such as utility companies or private purchasing organizations. We can take these agreements and form a credit analysis with ratings in order for you to properly evaluate the borrower's capacity and dependability in assuming loan payments.

Fannie Mae has highlighted three segments non-traditional tradelines could fall under. The highest priority qualifiers are regularly scheduled, housing-related sources including:
Utility payments
Rent expenses
Phone payment
Cable TV contract

Possible other alternate non-traditional tradelines could include:
Insurance payments
Local trade accounts with businesses
Recurring payments for child care
Tuition payments
Other verifiable sources
