HMDA: Withdrawn Applications
One of the most difficult data fields when reporting HMDA data is the Action Taken field. While it may seem like this would be pretty straightforward, it is an area that we see a lot of errors. There are eight options for the action taken and these include:
- Loan originated
- Application approved but not accepted
- Application denied
- Application withdrawn by applicant
- File closed for incompleteness
- Purchased loan
- Preapproval request denied
- Preapproval request approved but not accepted
These options can’t always be taken at face value and you need to understand the criteria for reporting each one. For instance, HMDA is very specific in that to report an application as withdrawn, it must be expressly withdrawn by the applicant.

He is an expert in compliance regulations. He is also a motivational speaker and innovative educator.

David and his wife Karen have three adult children, four grandchildren (none of whom live at home!) and two cats (of which Dave is allergic … the cats, not the children!). They recently moved to an acreage outside of Lincoln, Nebraska where he gets to play with his tractor. When possible David can be found fishing, making sawdust in his shop, or playing the guitar and piano. He also enjoys leading worship at his church.
