Abstract: Under 38 CFR 36.4600(d),
the holder of a delinquent vendee
account is legally entitled to repurchase
of the loan by VA when the loan has
been continuously in default for 3
months and the amount of the
delinquency equals or exceeds the sum
of 2 monthly installments. When
requesting the repurchase of a loan, the
holder uses VA Form 26–8084. Upon
receipt of a holder’s VA Form 26–8084,
the supporting documents are examined
to see that all of the documents required
have been submitted and that they are
sufficient to complete the repurchase.
VA Form 26–8084 is compared with the
settlement sheet prepared when the loan
was sold and examined closely to
establish that there are no errors in the
holder’s methods of computation for
repurchase. Following repurchase by
VA, the obligor(s) are notified in writing
that VA has repurchased the loan, and
the vendee account is serviced and
maintained by VA thereafter.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
