LOE

[padgeta2]

Do I need to write Letters of Explanation for ANY deposits or just deposits over $100?

[TTrumble]

Hello padgeta2,

Just non-payroll deposits over $100. That having been said, if your bank statements regularly show unusually frequent small deposits, you will probably have to explain those as well. But unless there’s some sort of unusual pattern, you’ll only need to explain ones for $100 and up.

I am nannying over the summer and make $60 a day, but I only do it about 2 days a week. So I’m wondering if I’ll need to explain those deposits.

@ttrumble does that also apply to cash withdrawal?

[Nelsont]

Yes. All cash transactions above $100.

Cash leaves no trail of evidence. You need a trail of evidence in order to prove your finances.

Hello padgeta2,

Yes, $60 twice a week or $120 a week will definitely need an LOE. A single letter should do. Just make sure you label each deposit on your bank statements as being from the nannying job.

Hello ltooks,

Yes, the same rules apply to cash withdrawals. All withdrawals over $100 or a series of regular smaller ones should have an LOE.

P.S. Your workbook won’t say anything about a series of regular smaller deposits or withdrawals, but the pattern will definitely be noticed, so there’s no sense waiting for a condition to come back from the underwriter. Be proactive and get it out of the way.

Greetings @nelsont or @TTrumble,

I’m writing the LOE’s for my medical debt and on my action plan it says to include the account numbers. The only things is, they all show up differently across the three credit bureaus when I pulled through annual credit report.com. Even when I go to my accounts through credit karma and Experian’s credit lock service, the numbers show up differently there as well. Basically none of them are coming up the same. I have been asking my MC these questions but he’s on vacay. Any suggestions on this?

Thank you so much for your help guys, you are both such a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate all of your responses.
