The credit quality of home equity loans in securities transactions deteriorated moderately during the third quarter of last year, according to Moody's Investors Service, adding to concern about credit quality problems across the mortgage spectrum.

Moody's also said that the 2000 "vintage" of subprime loans may be weaker than earlier vintages, based on early loan performance data.

Moody's Home Equity Index indicated that the level of charge-offs and serious delinquencies (60 days or more past due) increased for subprime, high loan-to-value and traditional home equity loans that have been packaged into mortgage-backed securities.

Subprime credit quality delinquencies as a percentage of the original pool balance increased to 5.14% at the end of the third quarter, up from 4.81% as of June 30, Moody's said.

Moody's reported modest increases in delinquencies on high LTV and traditional home equity loan sectors as well.

"The increased delinquency rate is a concern because it could presage an increase in the future rate of losses for these sectors," said Henry Engelken, a vice president and author of the study.

"In fact, charge-offs have already started to rise in the high loan-to-value and traditional home equity pools."
