Assess whether notices match the actual decisioning reasons (ed8ff8)

SITUATION Pricing and Credit Limits work in a credit union rolling out a special-purpose credit program now turns on notices match the actual because a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test put appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts in play. Adverse-action notice operations lead should say what appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts proves.

DECISION Adverse-action notice operations lead in a credit union rolling out a special-purpose credit program must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts after a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts is the one a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test named, so Remove access or reverse the item follows for this Pricing and Credit Limits file. 2. The population in appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts is adjacent only to a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test; Temporary compensating control is the honest Fair Lending call. 3. A credit union rolling out a special-purpose credit program already contained a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test before appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts arrived; no new Pricing and Credit Limits path. 4. Provenance on appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts after a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test is broken; do not pick Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test a documented exception versus a pattern a credit union rolling out a special-purpose credit program must defend. 2. Match the adverse-action language to the facts in appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts. 3. Check HMDA coding and underwriting policy against notices match the actual. 4. For this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits file, read appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts against a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test and write the one fact that would move notices match the actual for adverse-action notice operations lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold on this Fair Lending / Pricing and Credit Limits packet (appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts after a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test). If appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts cannot force a Fair Lending label under Pricing and Credit Limits, stop. If appraisal-gap outcomes in majority-minority tracts after a vendor score change with no disparate-impact test cannot support Remove access or reverse the item versus Temporary compensating control on this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits close, adverse-action notice operations lead must do not infer a control or scheme beyond the transaction and entitlement evidence.
