The grantor agrees and understands that the information he/she is requesting is governed by the Fair Credit

Requesting or receiving credit profiles for other than legitimate purposes may, as a violation of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, create a civil cause of action in addition to the penalties under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
which are currently a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than (1)year or both.
The grantor agrees to hold harmless NFH and any recipient of this directive from any and all suit, action, claim

supplied to NFH in connection with such evaluation. Authorization is further granted to the credit reporting

Purpose of Housing Counseling: I understand that the purpose of the housing counseling program is to provide
one-on-one counseling to help customers fix those problems that prevent affordable mortgage financing. The
counselor will analyze my financial and credit situation, identify those barriers preventing me from obtaining afford-
able mortgage financing, and develop a plan to remove those barriers. The counselor will also provide assistance
in management with the preparation of a monthly and manageable budget plan. I understand that it will not be the
responsibility of the counselor to fix the problems for me, but rather provide guidance and education to empower
me in fixing these issues preventing affordable mortgage financing.
Eligibility Criteria: I understand that National Faith Homebuyers provides housing counseling assistance to cus-
tomers whose problem can be resolved in 24 months or less. I understand that if it is determined my issues will
take longer than 23 months to fix, I will be referred to a long-term housing counseling program.
Homeownership Education Classes: I understand that as part of the housing counseling program, I will be
required to participate in homeownership education.
Customer’s Responsibility: I understand that it is my responsibility to work in conjunction with the counseling
process and that failure to cooperate will result in the discontinuation of my counseling program. This includes but
is not limited to missing three consecutive appointments.
Our Services Are:
Pre-Purchase One-on-One Counseling
Fair Housing Pre-Purchase
Predatory Lending Education
Pre-Purchase Home Education
Mortgage Delinquency and Default Resolution
