The MLA rules apply to certain loans provided to \u201ccovered borrowers.\u201d The term covered borrowers consists of consumers who, at the time they become obligated on the extension of credit, are members of the armed forces serving on active duty or active guard and reserve duty, along with their dependents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Loans covered by the rule include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unsecured closed-end loans<\/li>\n<li>Non-purchase-money secured closed-end loans<\/li>\n<li>Unsecured consumer lines of credit<\/li>\n<li>Credit cards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Quandis\u2019 solution provides a real-time API that searches the DoD\u2019s database to instantly return covered borrower status in either human or machine-readable formats. Supporting high concurrency and average response times well under one second, the API is ideally suited to integrate with automated underwriting systems (AUSs). Unlike most search solutions, Quandis\u2019 technology parses name permutation data to search on a very granular level for active duty personnel as well as their dependents, ensuring comprehensive searches so that nothing is missed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ability to leverage the technology we have already developed to adhere to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) for active duty military status, and apply that knowledge and technology to the MLA is a natural extension for us,\u201d says Scott Stoddard, CEO of Quandis. \u201cAnyone dealing with debt when it comes to covered borrowers must comply with the MLA. Compliance is king and this new offering provides a critical safe harbor for lending organizations working with service members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quandis provides a DoD-certified tracking number, along with a time and date stamped audit trail for users in the event of an audit or issue to demonstrate proof of MLA \u201csafe harbor\u201d compliance. The company\u2019s MLA compliance solution is already in production with several lending entities.<\/p>\n<p>Notable is that a record number of complaints made by service members to the CFPB has been recorded recently. In 2015, the CFPB received 19,000 complaints from service members, veterans and their families, which represented a 13 percent increase from 2014. The top three areas for complaints were debt collection (46 percent), mortgage reporting (15 percent) and credit reporting (11 percent).<\/p>\n<p>Lending entities need to start preparing in advance to comply with the MLA amendments as opposed to waiting until the Oct. 3 deadline.
