1. 5. Rate caps. The creditor may determine within the three-business-day period that the application will not or cannot be approved on the terms requested, as, for example, when a consumer applies for a type or amount of credit that the creditor does not offer, or the consumer's application cannot be approved for some other reason. If changed circumstances cause a change in the consumer's eligibility for specific loan terms disclosed pursuant to 1026.19(e)(1)(i) and revised disclosures are provided because the change in eligibility resulted in increased cost for a settlement service beyond the applicable tolerance threshold, the charge paid by or imposed on the consumer for the settlement service for which cost increased due to the change in eligibility is compared to the revised estimated cost for the settlement service to determine if the actual fee has increased above the estimated fee. The creditor is not required to provide the disclosures required under 1026.19(f)(1)(i) if, before the time the creditor is required to provide the disclosures under 1026.19(f), the creditor determines the consumer's application will not or cannot be approved on the terms requested, or the consumer has withdrawn the application, and, as such, the transaction will not be consummated. 1. Learn which fees can change and which can't. If you have a rate lock, your rate and points should not change, but there are exceptions. However, the documentation requirement does not require separate corrected disclosures for each change. See below for illustrative examples: i. The creditor complies with 1026.19(f)(2)(i) by hand delivering the disclosures on Thursday, June 11. In addition, 1026.19(e)(1)(ii)(A) provides that the creditor must ensure that disclosures provided by mortgage brokers comply with all requirements of 1026.19(e), and that disclosures provided by mortgage brokers that do comply with all such requirements satisfy the creditor's obligation under 1026.19(e). The information may be used until the program disclosures are otherwise revised. Timing of fees. For purposes of 1026.19(f)(3)(ii)(B), a period of time is appropriate if the sample size is sufficient to calculate average costs with reasonable precision, provided that the period of time is not less than 30 days and not more than six months. 9. Both the separate and multiple program disclosures may illustrate more than one loan maturity or payment amortization - for example, by including multiple payment and loan balance columns in the historical payment example. When redisclosures are necessary because the annual percentage rate has become inaccurate, they must be received by the consumer no later than the third business day before consummation. Good faith is determined pursuant to 1026.19(e)(3)(ii), instead of 1026.19(e)(3)(i), if the creditor permits the consumer to shop for a settlement service provider, consistent with 1026.19(e)(1)(vi)(A). Assume the creditor receives a consumer's application for both construction and permanent financing on Monday, June 1. Settlement is defined in Regulation X, 12 CFR 1024.2(b). A third party submits a consumer's written application to a creditor and both the creditor and third party do not collect any fee, other than a fee for obtaining a consumer's credit history, until the consumer receives the early mortgage loan disclosure from the creditor. Requirements for prepayment penalty disclosures are set forth in 1026.38(b) and 1026.37(b)(4). In giving this history, the creditor need only go back as far as the creditor's rates can reasonably be determined. The limitation on increases to your interest rate over the term of the loan will be set at an amount in the following range: Between 4 and 7 percentage points above the initial interest rate. A creditor using this alternative rule must include a statement in its program disclosures suggesting that the consumer ask about the overall rate limitations currently offered for the creditor's ARM programs. For example, the creditor may choose to refund the proportional overage paid to the affected consumers. Origination Charges Section B. Closing Disclosure ZERO Tolerance 10% Tolerance Unlimited Tolerance Section A. For example, if during the six months preceding preparation of the disclosures the fully indexed rate would have been 10% but the first year's rate under the program was 8%, the creditor would discount the first interest rate in the historical example by 2 percentage points. For example, in a five-year loan, a creditor would show the payments and loan balance for the five-year term, from 1977 to 1981, with a zero loan balance reflected for 1981. In this example, in order to comply with 1026.19(e)(3)(iv) and 1026.25, the creditor must maintain records documenting the creditor's doubts regarding the validity of the appraisal to demonstrate that the reason for revision did not occur upon receipt of the first appraisal report. For example, average charges may not be used for title insurance or for either the upfront premium or initial escrow deposit for hazard insurance. For the purpose of determining good faith under 1026.19(e)(3)(i) and (ii), revised charges are compared to actual charges if the revision was caused by a changed circumstance. 1. Alternatively, the creditor complies with 1026.19(f)(2)(i) by providing the disclosures to the consumer by mail, including by electronic mail, on Thursday, June 11, because the consumer is considered to have received the corrected disclosures on Monday, June 15 (unless the creditor relies on evidence that the consumer received the corrected disclosures earlier). Creditors using electronic delivery methods, such as email, must also comply with 1026.37(o)(3)(iii), which provides that the disclosures in 1026.37 may be provided to the consumer in electronic form, subject to compliance with the consumer consent and other applicable provisions of the E-Sign Act. For example, a form describing multiple programs may disclose the information applicable to all of the programs in one place with the various program features (such as options permitting conversion to a fixed rate) disclosed separately. Whether the creditor permits the consumer to shop consistent with 1026.19(e)(1)(vi)(A) is determined based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. 7. The total amount of lender credits actually provided to the consumer is determined by aggregating the amount of the lender credits identified in 1026.38(h)(3) with the amounts paid by the creditor that are attributable to a specific loan cost or other cost, disclosed pursuant to 1026.38(f) and (g). 2. The creditor must provide corrected disclosures so that the consumer receives them at or before consummation. Using the example above, if a consumer applies for a loan within the defined class, but already has an appraisal report acceptable to the creditor from a prior loan application, the creditor may not charge the consumer the average appraisal fee because an acceptable appraisal report has already been obtained for the consumer's application. The creditor must provide revised disclosures by Thursday to comply with 1026.19(e)(4)(i). If the interest rate is locked on or after the date on which the creditor provides the Closing Disclosure and the Closing Disclosure is inaccurate as a result, then the creditor must provide the consumer a corrected Closing Disclosure, at or before consummation, reflecting any changed terms, pursuant to 1026.19(f)(2). However, the creditor or other person is not permitted to require, before providing the disclosures required by 1026.19(e)(1)(i), that the consumer submit documentation to verify the information collected from the consumer. 6. See comments 38-4 and 38(h)(3)-2 for additional guidance on disclosing refunds. See also comment 19(f)(2)(iii)-1.iii for another example in which corrected disclosures must be provided to the seller. On Thursday, June 11, the annual percentage rate will be 7.30%, which exceeds the most recently disclosed annual percentage rate by more than the applicable tolerance. 2. Assume a creditor requires a pest inspection. 2. Because the creditor remains responsible under 1026.19(f)(1)(v) for ensuring that the Closing Disclosure is provided in accordance with 1026.19(f), the creditor is expected to maintain communication with the settlement agent to ensure that the settlement agent is acting in place of the creditor. ii. Pursuant to 1026.19(f)(4)(ii), the settlement agent must deliver or place in the mail corrected disclosures to the seller no later than 30 days after Tuesday and provide a copy to the creditor pursuant to 1026.19(f)(4)(iv). Section 1026.19(e)(2)(ii) requires the creditor or other person to include a clear and conspicuous statement on the top of the front of the first page of a written estimate of terms or costs specific to the consumer if it is provided to the consumer before the consumer receives the disclosures required by 1026.19(e)(1)(i). See comment 2(a)(6)-2. (See the commentary to 1026.20(c) and (d) regarding notices of adjustments.) For example, if the creditor emails the disclosures at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, the consumer emails the creditor with an acknowledgement of receipt of the disclosures at 5 p.m. on the same day, the creditor could demonstrate that the disclosures were received on the same day. Based on the average cost to the creditor from the May to August period, the average charge to the consumer for the September to December period should be $125. Requirement. Therefore, if the creditor issues revised disclosures with the corrected appraisal fee, the actual appraisal fee of $400 paid at the real estate closing by the consumer will be compared to the revised appraisal fee of $400 to determine if the actual fee has increased above the estimated fee. Disclosures under 1026.19(f) are subject to the labeling rules set forth in 1026.38. 4. If the interest rate is not locked when the disclosures required by 1026.19(e)(1)(i) are provided, then, no later than three business days after the date the interest rate is subsequently locked, 1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(D) requires the creditor to provide a revised version of the disclosures required under 1026.19(e)(1)(i) reflecting the revised interest rate, the points disclosed under 1026.37(f)(1), lender credits, and any other interest rate dependent charges and terms. Non-specific lender credits and specific lender credits are negative charges to the consumer. Section 1026.19(a) requires early disclosure of credit terms in reverse mortgage transactions subject to 1026.33 that are secured by a consumer's dwelling that are also subject to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and its implementing Regulation X. Use these days wiselynow is the time to resolve problems. Requirements. However, if the creditor does not require flood insurance and the subject property is located in an area where floods frequently occur, but not specifically located in a zone where flood insurance is required, failure to include flood insurance on the original estimates provided pursuant to 1026.19(e)(1)(i) does not constitute a lack of good faith under 1026.19(e)(3)(iii). Requirements. To ensure timely and accurate compliance with the requirements of 1026.19(f)(1)(v), the creditor and settlement agent need to communicate effectively. If the disclosures provided under 1026.19(f)(1)(i) do not contain the actual terms of the transaction, the creditor does not violate 1026.19(f)(1)(i) if the creditor provides corrected disclosures that contain the actual terms of the transaction and complies with the other requirements of 1026.19(f), including the timing requirements in 1026.19(f)(1)(ii) and (f)(2). 1. He sued, asserting that Wells Fargo violated TILA by failing to disclose it "would charge borrowers finance charges/fees to extend the rate lock period in cases of bank-caused delay.". See 1026.2(a)(6). An error is considered clerical if it does not affect a numerical disclosure and does not affect requirements imposed by 1026.19(e) or (f). Charges paid by or imposed on the consumer. For purposes of 1026.19(e), a charge paid by or imposed on the consumer refers to the final amount for the charge paid by or imposed on the consumer at consummation or settlement, whichever is later. Section 1026.19(e)(2)(ii) requires that the notice must be in a font size that is no smaller than 12-point font, and must state: Your actual rate, payment, and costs could be higher. Conditions for redisclosure. See also 1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(A) and comment 19(e)(3)(iv)(A)-2 regarding the definition of changed circumstances. On Thursday, June 11, the loan product required to be disclosed changes to a 5/1 Adjustable Rate. The creditor is required to provide corrected disclosures and delay consummation until the consumer has received the corrected disclosures provided under 1026.19(f)(1)(i) reflecting the change in the product disclosure, and any other changed terms, at least three business days before consummation. 1026 (Regulation Z) The creditor complies with the requirements of 1026.19(f) if the creditor provides corrected disclosures so that the consumer receives them at or before consummation on Thursday. For purposes of 1026.19(a)(2), business day means all calendar days except Sundays and the legal public holidays referred to in 1026.2(a)(6). On Thursday, June 11, the annual percentage rate will be 7.15%. 1026.40 Requirements for home equity plans. Section 1026.19(e)(3)(i) provides the general rule that an estimated closing cost disclosed under 1026.19(e) is not in good faith if the charge paid by or imposed on the consumer exceeds the amount originally disclosed under 1026.19(e)(1)(i). The creditor does not satisfy the requirements of 1026.19(f) if it provides duplicative disclosures. 5. Section 1026.19(f)(4)(i) requires disclosure of the items that relate to the seller's transaction. If the creditor provides the disclosures by mail, the consumer is considered to have received them three business days after they are placed in the mail, for purposes of determining when the three-business-day waiting period required under 1026.19(f)(1)(ii)(A) begins. Although any method may comply with this requirement, a creditor is deemed to have complied if it defines a six-month time period and establishes a rolling monthly period of reevaluation. A creditor is required to include a statement on the disclosure form that explains how a consumer may calculate his or her actual monthly payments for a loan amount other than $10,000.
