Loan Application Notice

After submitting a loan application, you may receive unsolicited calls or mail. These are known as “trigger leads” and do not come from TBA Credit Union. We value your privacy and never sell your information. Unfortunately, credit bureaus may share data that results in these contacts, which are beyond our control.

To help reduce unwanted calls and mail:

  • Opt out by calling 1-888-5-OPTOUT or visiting optoutprescreen.com.
  • Register with the Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov.

Please know that your personal information is used exclusively for processing your loan application with us. We recommend disregarding any misleading or unrelated communications you may receive.

Mortgage Tips

  • Keep your employment stable. If your job status changes, notify your loan officer right away to prevent delays.
  • Avoid new credit. Do not apply for credit cards, loans, or other lines of credit during the process.
  • Limit unusual account activity. Large deposits or withdrawals can raise questions. Regular paycheck deposits are fine.
  • Stay current on payments. Continue paying your mortgage, credit cards, and other loans on time.
  • Hold off on big purchases. Wait to buy items like cars, boats, furniture, or other large expenses until after closing.
  • Do not switch banks. If you’ve provided bank statements to your lender, keep your accounts at the same institution.
