Veros Real Estate Solutions, a leading developer of enterprise risk management, collateral valuation, and predictive analytics services, and mortgage document preparation vendor International Document Services, Inc. (IDS) announced it has partnered to provide lenders with a fully integrated automated delivery solution for submitting the Uniform Closing Dataset (UCD) to the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), the company announced in a release.
The Veros and IDS partnership creates a fully integrated UCD data file creation solution and submission solution. By offering lenders a single, integrated solution – similar to the Uniform Collateral Data Portal (UCDP) – and combining IDS’s UCD XML file creation capability with Veros’ Pathway UCD submission system, both Veros and IDS ensure full compliance with the GSEs’ June 25, 2018 mandate, the release said.
"IDS is widely recognized as a leader in the mortgage document preparation space, and we are pleased to partner with them to provide lenders with a single, integrated solution to ensure compliance with the GSEs’ upcoming UCD data submission requirement changes,” Veros Sales Vice President Robert Walker said.
According to a Jan. 30, 2018 joint announcement made by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, warning UCD edits in the GSEs’ respective delivery systems related to non-submission or unsuccessful UCD submission will become critical or fatal effective June 25, 2018. In addition to the edits that will turn fatal in the GSEs’ delivery systems, the UCD warning edit for embedding the PDF will also convert to fatal, resulting in a “Not Successful” status, as of the June mandate.
Both GSEs are recommending that lenders prepare for the change by submitting “successful” UCD files prior to delivering their loans, as appropriate. In response to the joint announcement from January, IDS has updated its proprietary idsDoc platform to support the directive and issued a press release on April 11, 2018 urging lenders to begin troubleshooting UCD files that resulted in a “not successful” status.
“IDS has been gathering feedback from our clients in an effort to error-proof the UCD submission process before the upcoming changes,” IDS Marketing/Sales Director Matthew Mackey said. “Veros’ expertise in working with automation and providing the technology powering the UCDP make them an excellent partner not only in this endeavor, but also in our overall goal to make idsDoc as seamless and efficient as possible for our clients.”
