Reminder Regarding Significant Derogatory Credit
As a reminder, PennyMac aligns with all Agency derogatory credit requirements, including but not limited to, seasoning requirements for foreclosures and short sales. Common tools utilized to identify significant derogatory credit are Fraud Guard, Loan Safe, DRIVE report, etc. If any documentation in file shows evidence of derogatory credit, Correspondents must ensure that the loan meets ALL Agency requirements.
