Adventures in Finger Printing

Published by: Rich on 9th Feb 2010 | View all blogs by Rich
So last week in my quest to be completely licensed we went to go get finger printed. Its a wacky system the National Mortg Lic System uses. You pay through them, you schedule an appointment, you show up, and then call the Finger Print company to check that they received your prints. My appointment was at a UPS store in Boston about 1/2 drive from the office. When I got there, the workers said the person that is trained on the system was not in and was not going to be in. So I called the finger print company and told them the situation. I don't think they were happy. I wasn't, as I took time out of my day. About 15 minutes later, they called me back and told me to go back to the UPS store. I guess the workers were magically trained by telephone. So the prints are done and the last item is the national test.

PS- the licensing system is now available for consumers to check their Loan Officers:

Note: If you are working with a LO from a bank, that LO may not require to be licensed through the NMLS system.

    Just another example of how the system is skewed in favor of the banks.

    I don't understand why there is not more of a level playing field when it comes to testing and licensing. Better lobbyists I suppose.
