132.0. "Increasing Home Equity Line" by NANCY::BONOMO (ANDY) Mon Oct 24 1988 11:34

    Does anyone know how what the procedure is for raising the
    credit line on a Home Equity Loan? Do I have to go through
    the whole procedure of appraisal, title search, etc or
    can I just pay the mortgage tax? I have only had the line
    about two months.

Don't know about the mortgage tax, we don't have one in MA.  

Some banks will let you re-adjust if you show them a tax bill showing 
a high enough valuation.  But given you got it two months ago, and I 
assume you took the max then, sounds like its tapped out.

Radical notion:  why not



ask the lender?

    	The lender is DCU and I figured this would be a good place to
    	ask being that this is the DCU conference.

I posed this question last Friday to the person who's processing my 
home equity credit line application.  The answer is that you must go 
through the entire application process again.  This seems wasteful, 
doesn't it?  But I've gotten the same answer from several outside 
lenders, so it seems to be standard practice.

    	Thanks Art for the reply. It sure does seem wasteful. What you
    	will also find out is when you send in your payment for the
    	month, DCU will send you back a receipt with a one line blurb
    	that states they received your payment. I think it is pretty
    	ridiculous to have this unnecessary paperwork. It is suppose
    	to work like a credit card so why don't they just make a
    	note on the monthly statement that a credit was applied on
    	such and such a day. It sure would save on postage.

    The CRT works the same way.  If I mail in my monthly payment they
    send me notification that it's been received.  If I use EasyTouch
    to just transfer the money from checking to the CRT loan account,
    there's no notification sent.  Seems like a waste of postage to
    me, not to mention inconsistent.
