(a) Except as otherwise provided by subsection (c) of this section, when provided to a mortgage applicant or prospective mortgage applicant, written confirmation of conditional pre-qualification shall include the information in Form A, Figure: 7 TAC § 80.201(a). This information can be provided by utilizing Form A or an alternate form that includes all of the information found on Form A. There is no requirement to issue a written confirmation of conditional pre-qualification. Form A or an alternate form may be modified by adding any of the following as needed:
(b) When provided to a mortgage applicant or prospective mortgage applicant, written notification of conditional loan approval on the basis of credit worthiness, but not on the basis of collateral, shall include the information in Form B, Figure: 7 TAC § 80.201(b). This information can be provided by utilizing Form B or an alternate form that includes all of the information found on Form B. There is no requirement to issue a written notification of conditional loan approval. Form B or an alternate form may be modified by adding the additional information permitted by subsection (a)(1) - (3) of this section, or disclosure of fees charged. A disclosure of fees charged, on Form B or an alternate form, does not serve as a substitute for any fee disclosure required by state or federal laws or regulations. A conditional loan approval should not be issued unless the company or originator has verified that, absent any material changes prior to closing, the mortgage applicant or prospective mortgage applicant has satisfied all loan requirements related to credit, income, assets, and debts. Verification may be conducted manually or by electronic means.
(c) Subsection (a) of this section does not apply to "firm offers of credit," as that term is defined in RSA 1681a(l).
