Description

Note

1

Both Co-Applicants/Co-Signers must be on the home’s TITLE

  • As part of our enhanced Fraud prevention efforts, we are requiring both applicants to be on the title for the home.

In other words; If we need to add a co-applicant in the agreement it will be required that both (Primary and Secondary) are registered in the Title of this property. We will not allow a Co-Signer that is NOT in title.

2

Both Co-Applicants/Co-Signers must be on the CREDIT

  • Any signer in the contract will have to be on the Credit application too. Both applicants (Primary and Secondary) require a Credit Run

Only one has to be approved. the system will always take the Highest FICO Score. So even if one of the applicants has a low score it will always take the one with the highest to proceed

All Credit initiations are soft inquiries (Meaning that this will not impact their current credit scores)

3

Each Applicant will be required to have a unique Email Address

  • To mitigate risks resulting from cosigners using the same email address, it will be required for the applicants a unique email for each within the same contract

There will be a block submission of credit application if the system detects that applicants' emails are the same (Effective starting July 31st, 2024)

The system blocks the generation of the contract if either signer has the same Email address as the rep or installer). In other words; The email registered for the Homeowner cannot be the same email registered in the system for the Sales Rep or Installer. (Currently in effect)

4

If the Contract has been already signed we will require a new Workflow

  • If the contract has been fully executed and signed by the homeowner, The workflow has to be canceled. the Sales Rep/Installer would need to requote with the Co-Applicant as Credit AND Title (Check the process Below)
