(b) All licensees will maintain records or other comparable evidence of their activity taken to reach a decision on a loan. If a commitment between a licensee and an applicant is not met (regardless of whether a similar loan at a higher rate is closed or not) and the delay is the licensee’s fault, or the licensee cannot demonstrate through its records or other comparable evidence that it took reasonably diligent steps to meet its deadline, such action or inaction taken by the licensee may be deemed to be an unsafe and unsound operating practice. In such a case, the Commissioner shall take appropriate action which may include, but is not limited to, an order to refund certain fees paid by the applicant to the licensee.
