- (a) A current credit bureau report on the loan applicant will be used by the loan subcommittee and Technology Equipment Revolving Loan Fund Committee to assess the applicant’s willingness and ability to repay.
(b) All current liabilities with regular monthly payments (as indicated by the credit bureau report and the credit application/financial statement) will be considered as follows in the calculation of the applicant’s debt-to-income ratio:
- (1) R – Revolving accounts (not including equity lines of credit). On accounts with outstanding balances, payments will be calculated based on minimum payment due as reported by the credit bureau report;
- (2) R – Equity revolving lines of credit. On revolving accounts that are secured with home equity, payments will be calculated using one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance;
(3) O – Open accounts (American Express, Diners Club).
- (A) Accounts that are due and payable in full each month will not be included in the debt-to-income ratio regardless of the balance.
- (B) An open account may also include a debt that is not in repayment status, such as some student loans; and
- (4) I – Installment loans. If an installment debt shows four (4) months or fewer payments remaining, the payment will not be included in the D/I ratio.
