Mortgage Fraud Solutions

Posted by Rapid Reporting - The Verification Company in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Feb 15, 2008

 Rapid Reporting began by offering income verification to the mortgage industry. The company demonstrated to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) the need to take income verification from a post-funding tool to a pre-funding tool to help decrease the occurence of fraud during the loan process. The company established a program with the IRS that enables lenders to obtain tax transcripts directly from the nation’s tax collection agency. Rapid Reporting became a leader in the process by bringing tax transcripts to the mortgage industry within 24 to 48 hours for verification of income. According to the IRS, Rapid Reporting is the largest income verification vendor to the mortgage industry.
