Failure to report defaulted loans to Rural Development within required timeframes;
Failure to ensure that the security property is adequately maintained during liquidation;
Delay in filing a loss claim;
Claiming unauthorized expenses;
Providing unauthorized assistance;
Failure to obtain the required security or maintain the security position;
Violating usury laws;
Negligence, gross negligence or misrepresentation; or
Committing fraud, or failing to report knowledge of fraud or false information.
Disputes. If the lender disputes the loss claim amount determined by Rural Development, Rural Development will pay the undisputed portion of the loss claim, and the lender may appeal the decision in accordance with § 3555.4.
