2/13/08      Countrywide Wholesale announced that effective 2/15/08, they are discontinuing
the minimum credit scores for Fast & Easy documentation.  Instead, the automated
underwriting engine will evaluate the layered risks of a loan and render a decision.  True, this
means that a borrower with a middle score under 680 is potentially eligible, but if the risk
factoring within the engine has been tightened, it render a Refer anyway.  We'll have to see
how it really works out.
