09 Oct 2008Trigold and MortgageStream to host TCF clinic at Expo

Trigold and MortgageStream are to join forces and offer brokers a free TCF clinic at the Mortgage Business Expo on the 12th and 13th November.

Hosted on the Trigold stand D10, advisors can learn about how technology can address the many requirements of TCF. With the December deadline fast approaching there is pressure on brokers to put systems in place that will protect themselves and their businesses.

David Aylmer, marketing and business development director at Trigold commented:

“We recently launched our new Case Manager system which is based on the MortgageStream software. We customised the system to focus on the post-sale element of the client relationship and, uniquely to push client data from the Prospector sourcing system directly into the case manager software.

“Our goal now is to help brokers understand in practical terms how technology can take away the hassle and risk of TCF. Brokers are doing a terrific job of providing intelligent and appropriate advice but they sometimes fail to ensure that this is appropriately documented. A visit to our TCF clinic at EXPO will hopefully show them how simple the solution can be.”

Trigold will be explaining to brokers visiting their stand how the production of compulsory documents should not be a burden on their businesses. Using a simple technological solution means that RMAR reports for example can be produced automatically in minutes rather than hours or even days using a manual system.

Paul Holden, sales director at MortgageStream said:

“We’re delighted to be working with Trigold to host this free TCF clinic. We believe that Intermediaries are the lifeblood of the industry and so it is a crucial investment to ensure that they are prepared for the December deadline. There can be no doubt that FSA deadlines are inflexible and failure to comply can have catastrophic consequences for businesses."

"Brokers are coming to us and saying that there has been information overload in some cases. The trade media has done a great job in raising the profile of the TCF requirements and highlighting the need for action and we’re supporting this with the opportunity for brokers to come and have a personal chat with us to discuss the options.

“What is clear is that with seven out of ten brokers already using Trigold the opportunity to get the right solution out to the right people by the deadline is definitely achievable.”
