  • Publication number: 20120030092
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and apparatuses for implementing, in connection with a loan account, a loan management tool. In some embodiments, the method includes: identifying a loan account associated with a loan, indentifying information associated with collateral securing the loan, determining a current equity value associated with the collateral, and generating a notification that additional credit may be added to the loan account. A current equity value associated with the collateral may be determined by calculating the difference between the market value for the collateral and the total amount of debt and credit secured by the collateral. The loan account may be a HELOC account where the collateral is a home.
