Home equity line application
How do we run a HELOC application with the property, income and title documents collected from several parties and the Reg Z disclosures delivered on time?
Run it as one case with the borrower, the appraiser and the title company each doing their part on a clock. Callvu prefills the application, delivers the HELOC early disclosures and the brochure at application, chases the borrower for income and the property documents, orders and tracks the valuation and the title work, classifies and routes the underwriting decision, delivers the account-opening disclosures before the line opens, and writes the approved, documented line to the loan system.

The problem today
Three parties, one file, and the loan officer is the only one who knows what is missing.
A borrower applies for a home equity line. The loan officer needs pay stubs and a mortgage statement from the borrower, a valuation from an appraiser, and a title search from a title company. Each arrives by a different route, each is checked when someone has time, and the borrower calls weekly to ask where things stand. The early disclosures were handed over at some point.
Reg Z requires the HELOC program disclosures and the home equity brochure at the time an application is provided (or within three business days of a non-in-person application), with the right to a refund of fees if the terms change; the account-opening disclosures before the first transaction; and the Reg B 30-day notice runs from the completed application. Valuation independence rules govern who may order the appraisal, and the borrower has a right to a copy of it.
The handoffs between the borrower, the vendors and underwriting are where the weeks go.
How it runs
From the requestto the system of record.
A borrower applies online, in a branch, or with a loan officer. Callvu identifies the borrower, prefills from the core and the existing mortgage record, and opens the case with the application date.
- Borrower
- Completes the application, gives consents, uploads income and property documents, reads disclosures and signs.
- Loan officer
- Assists, sees the whole case fill from every party, and answers the borrower.
- Appraiser
- Receives the valuation order through the independent channel, delivers the report to the case.
- Title company
- Delivers the title search and any required documents to the case.
- Underwriting
- Decides with the complete file in the Decision Desk.
- Callvu
- Prefills, delivers disclosures on time, chases each party, tracks vendors, routes the decision and writes the line.
Prefill and early disclosures
Identity, the property, the existing mortgage and the relationship are prefilled. The HELOC program disclosures and the home equity brochure are delivered at application (within three business days for a non-in-person application) and acknowledged, and the consents for the credit report, E-SIGN and the privacy notice are captured before the pull.
Chase and verify the borrower
Income documents, the mortgage statement, the homeowners insurance declaration and anything the product requires are requested with links and read and checked as they arrive. The file shows what is outstanding and for how long.
Vendors on a clock
The valuation is ordered through the bank's independent channel and the title search from the title company; each vendor delivers to the case through a link, and the case shows the expected dates. The borrower is sent a copy of the valuation promptly on completion and at least three business days before closing.
Classify and decide
The combined loan-to-value, the debt-to-income and the policy conditions are classified; automated decision steps run within policy and the rest routes to underwriting in the Decision Desk with the complete file and only the allowed outcomes.
Disclose, sign, write back
The account-opening disclosures are delivered before the line opens, the agreement is signed on the borrower's phone, the rescission notice and period are applied where the line is secured by the principal dwelling, and the approved, documented line is written to the loan system with every document, consent and decision.
Where it ends: The line is open in the loan system with the valuation, the title work, the income verification, the disclosures in order and the decision on file, and the borrower never chased anyone. The Decision Trace shows the classification and the clocks; the Audit Trace shows every party's steps.
Runtime enforcement
What is enforcedwhile the work runs.
The regulations preloaded in Callvu Studio and the bank's own policies, applied as steps that run, not lines in a binder. A step that breaks a rule does not run, so a completed run was compliant.
The handoff
Between the front doorand the back office.
The front door
Online, in a branch or with a loan officer; the appraiser and the title company enter through links to the case.
The back office
Underwriting receives a complete file with the vendor reports attached. The loan officer stops chasing.
The Decision Desk
- A decision above automated authority, a CLTV or DTI exception, or a valuation review question goes to underwriting in the Decision Desk with the complete file and only the allowed outcomes.
