FAQ’s
1. The borrower accidentally declined e-consent. Is there anything they can do to opt back in?
Yes. The borrower can log into eLynx and navigate to the dashboard, then update their user information
and preferences.
2. The borrower did not acknowledge the package within 24 hours, causing the package to be sent via standard mail.
What can we do to revert back to an electronic package?
Initial LE would have to be voided, broker would have to revisit Fee Evaluation/Create LE screen on
freedomwholesale.com and create a new LE, and select eSign as delivery method. The new LE would
reflect new disclosure date, which would still have to be within 3 business days of Application Date.
3. What are broker’s alternatives if borrower opts out of e-consent?
The package will automatically be sent via standard mail if borrower declines e-consent. For a faster
method of delivery, the broker can print the document package via the document center on
freedomwholesale.com and deliver directly to the borrower.
4. Do vested borrowers have to acknowledge the Loan Estimate package?
No. This is not required for the LE; only the CD requires acknowledgement from all parties.
5. If my borrower declined e-consent for the LE package, will the CD still go out electronically?
No. Once borrower declines e-consent, they will receive all future disclose packages via standard mail.
This can be changed by borrower accessing eLynx dashboard and updating their user preferences.
Best Practices
1. If broker intends to use eSign as a delivery method, email addresses and phone numbers should be provided up
front for all borrowers. This can be provided at time of Loan Registration, or by utilizing the Edit Loan function in the
Actions Dropdown on the website. These items should be provided prior to broker accessing Fee Evaluation/Create
LE tool.
2. If borrower declines e-consent and package is delivered via standard mail, broker will be required to provide Intent
to Proceed date on freedomwholesale.com by accessing the Intent to Proceed tool in the Actions Dropdown. On this
page, broker will be required to provide date of Intent, as well as the method in which Intent is given, i.e. Email,
Phone, Fax, In Person, Form.
