Method Servicing2

The Servicing2 method, as the name implies, is used to update one or more SBA loans. The fields “LoanName”, “LoanNmb”, are returned to support matching of submitted loans to response. The “LoanNmb” is used for future communication about the loan. The “LoanEtranEmailAdr” will be used as a backup communication path. The “LoanGntyFeeAmt” and “LoanEffectDt” will generally be supplied for all loan changes passing the SBA’s validation rules, however in the event of a shortage of funding authority to complete an increase guaranty amount for the loan, this information will be supplied by e-mail as soon as funding authority is available on a FIFO basis.

In case of errors, both the error number and text message will be returned for each error. Generally, the return of errors indicates that the application failed to pass the SBA’s validation rules. The exception is warning/error messages related to the user’s account and password.
