Subject: Litigation Dataset
Accuracy and Review of HEAL Litigation Business Rules and Error Messages
Lender Policy Memorandum L-2004-3
Attached are the results
of the litigation dataset you sent to us for processing. These results need
to be reviewed and any accounts that appear on the LITIGATION ERROR TRANSACTION
report must be corrected and resubmitted to the HEAL Program by the next
month’s submission as SO’s (Submission Original). This includes canceled, closed
and active litigations. Also, the accounts appearing in the LITIGATION NOT
SENT report should be submitted to close out the litigation record.
In the past, these errors
have remained uncorrected on subsequent monthly submissions which have adversely
affected the integrity of our database. If these errors remain unresolved we
are considering the suspension of payment of claims until the required corrections
are made. This is a step we do not wish to take but may be necessary to protect
the accuracy of our database. We will not enforce this action until we have
allowed the Lenders/Holders/Servicers adequate time to resolve the outstanding
errors. We will begin closely monitoring the “Litigation Error Transaction”
report and the “Litigation Not Sent” report with the May 2004 submission of
the April 2004 data.
Since the “HEAL Litigation
Business Rules” are the basis for the HOPS program that determines claim penalties,
please perform a thorough review of our “HEAL Litigation Business Rules” and
the error messages contained therein and address any concerns to the HEAL program
by April 1, 2004.
Thank you for your attention
to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Linda Redmond or
Dick Horton of the HEAL program at 301 443-1540.
