Equity Release Loans
We are receiving more and more enquiries from people with an existing equity release loan. May I remind you that it is essential to check with FHIL before proceeding with any case where equity release is involved.
A quick look at section 10.2 on page 13 of the Procedures and Compliance Manual will give you some typical names for equity release products but companies are creating new names all the time. Be very proactive in checking for equity release and always ring FHIL if you are unsure.

Quotas for the period 01 April 2017 to 30 June 2017
As agreed at the AGM on 28 April 2017, each local authority will have identical quotas and the principle will be reviewed at the AGM next year.
I have revised the previously published figures to give each member £73,500 for this quarter. This figure reflects the exceptionally high volume of repayments in the last six months.

Credit Checks
We have now set up a facility for Equifax to provide Credit Reports for cases where Credit Checks are required, or where officers have concerns about prospective borrowers.
Use the same button on the StreetSERVE portal to commence the process but the completed Credit Check request should be e-mailed to FHIL instead of StreetUK.
Full information is in section 6 on page 11 of the latest StreetSERVE Manual version 3.1, which can be found in the Downloads window of this site.

Credit Checks
Experian, the organisation which provides Credit Reports for StreetUK have recently changed their rules, with the effect that StreetUK can do
searches on borrowers where they are making the loan but not on behalf of third party lenders (ie not local authorities).
We are in the process of setting up an account with Equifax whereby FHIL will provide Credit Reports for member local authorities.
Until this is finalised, please contact Dawn or Martyn if a report is required.
