Loan List Search and Loan Status

The Loan List screen is the first screen you see when you log in to Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) or Desktop Originator® (DO®). You can use the Loan List to create or import a loan casefile or to view a list of existing loan casefiles. You can also access resources on the Help tab.

  1. To search for an existing loan casefile, select an Institution from the drop-down list. If you only have access to one institution, that is the only one you will see listed.

Note:  Once a loan casefile is submitted to an institution, all re-submissions will go to that institution, and you will have to select that institution to have it returned in your search results

  1. Enter the search criteria in theSearch Options field(s). ClickMore Options, to select additional search criteria.
