Assess whether occupancy was misrepresented at origination (643d2c)

Situation

An ACH originating credit union cannot treat a mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records as color commentary on ACH return-reason code R10 spike. Synthetic-identity detection manager must close occupancy was misrepresented at from that extract under Fraud Detection / Claims and Benefits Fraud.

Decision

Synthetic-identity detection manager in an ACH originating credit union must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using ACH return-reason code R10 spike after a mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records.

Hypotheses to test

• A mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records is noise around an already-controlled Claims and Benefits Fraud process in an ACH originating credit union, given ACH return-reason code R10 spike.
• A mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records is the event in ACH return-reason code R10 spike that forces Remove access or reverse the item for synthetic-identity detection manager under Fraud Detection.
• ACH return-reason code R10 spike shows a one-file miss after a mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records, not a Claims and Benefits Fraud program failure.
• ACH return-reason code R10 spike cannot decide occupancy was misrepresented at yet after a mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records; hold is the only Fraud Detection close an ACH originating credit union can defend.

Analysis required

• Quantify loss if the hold is released before ACH return-reason code R10 spike is complete.
• Test a one-off dispute against the first edge of a scheme around occupancy was misrepresented at.
• For this Fraud Detection Claims and Benefits Fraud file, read ACH return-reason code R10 spike against a mortgage occupancy affidavit contradicting utility records and write the one fact that would move occupancy was misrepresented at for synthetic-identity detection manager.
