How important is Quality Control? Fitch  review of 2005/2006 subprime loans. More than one finding per loan in some cases: Right Data Often Not Representative of  Real Risk 51% Property value or condition issues — Materially different from original appraisal, or original appraisal contained conflicting information or items outside of typically accepted parameters Provided by borrower or field inspector 66% Occupancy fraud (stated owner occupied — never occupied), based on information provided by borrower or field inspector 48% First Time Homebuyer — Some applications indicated no other property, but credit report showed mortgage information 44% Payment Shock (defined as greater than 100% increase) — Some greater than 200% increase 44% Questionable stated income or employment — Often in conflict with information on credit report and indicated to be outside “reasonableness” test 22% Hawk Alert — Fraud alert noted on credit report 18% Credit Report — Questionable ownership of accounts (name or social security numbers do not match) 17% Seller Concessions (outside allowed parameters) 16% Credit Report — Based on “authorized” user accounts 16% Strawbuyer/Flip scheme indicated based on evidence in servicing file 16% Identity theft indicated 10% Signature fraud indicated 6% Non-arms length transaction indicated Fitch selected a sample of 45 subprime loans, targeting high CLTV, stated documentation loans, including many with early missed payments. In  particular, we selected loans that were primarily purchase transactions having a higher range of FICO scores (650 to 770), because high FICO scores and purchase transactions are historically attributes which generally reduce the risk of default. Fitch’s analysts conducted an independent analysis of these files with the benefit of the full origination and servicing files. The result of the analysis was disconcerting at best, as there was the appearance of fraud or misrepresentation in almost every file.
