60
Q

What is the primary purpose of HMDA?

A

HMDA’s primary purpose in requiring financial institutions to make the HMDA reports is to help determine whether financial institutions are serving their communities’ housing needs, to assist public officials in distributing public investment to attract private investment and to assist in identifying potential discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes. HMDA data is also used to help prevent redlining and blockbusting.

61
Q

There are four things that are important to understanding how HMDA works:

A
  1. the types of institutions are required to report;
  2. the types of transactions must be reported;
  3. what specific information is required to be collected, recorded and reported; and
  4. how the information is reported and disclosed.
62
Q

The HMDA report is due to the respective regulating body by

A

March 1st of every calendar year.

Regulation: Regulation B

Acronym: ECOA

Year Created: 1974

Main Purpose: To prevent discrimination on specified protected classes

Important Terms Related to this Law: Protected classes, adverse action, appraisal, disparate impact and disparate treatment

Entity Responsible for Enforcement: The CFPB

Other Laws that are complimentary: The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act; Fair Housing Act

66
Q

What are the protected classes under ECOA?

A

Race, Color, Religion, National Origin, Sex, Marital Status, and Age

67
Q

There are two comprehensive prohibitions against discriminatory lending practices in ECOA:

A

● A creditor shall not discriminate against an applicant on a prohibited basis regarding any aspect of a credit transaction.
● A creditor shall not make any oral or written statement, in advertising or otherwise, to applicants or prospective applicants that would discourage, on a prohibited basis, a reasonable person from making or pursuing an application.

68
Q

Give two examples of when an MLO can ask about a borrower’s marital status.

A
  • The non-applicant spouse will be permitted user of or join obligor on the account;
  • The non-applicant spouse will be contractually liable on the account;
69
Q

If the application is for joint credit the creditor can ask the applicant’s marital status but may only use the terms:

A

“married”, “unmarried”, and “separated.” The term “unmarried”

70
Q

A creditor can ask if an applicant is receiving alimony, child support or separate maintenance payments but the creditor must

A

disclose to the applicant that such income need not be revealed unless the applicant wishes to rely on that income in the determination of creditworthiness.

71
Q

A creditor can consider any information in evaluating applicants, if they do not use the information with the intent or the effect of discriminating against an applicant on a prohibited basis. To that end, a creditor cannot:

A

● Consider any of the prohibited basis, including age and the receipt of public assistance
● Use child-bearing or child-rearing information, assumptions or statistics to determine
whether an applicant’s income may be interrupted or decreased;
● Consider whether there is a telephone listing in the applicant’s name; or
● Discount or exclude part-time income from an applicant or the spouse of an applicant.

72
Q

One note on age, if an applicant is under 18 years of age then the applicant is not old enough to

A

enter a binding contract and that can be used in determining that an applicant is not able to obtain the loan.

73
Q

Under ECOA, it is the creditor’s responsibility to notify an applicant of any action taking on the applicant’s request for credit, whether favorable or adverse, within

A

30 days of receiving the completed application. Notice of approval may be expressly stated or implied

74
Q

If the action is adverse, then an Adverse Action Notice must be sent within 30 days. There are two exceptions, the creditor must notify an applicant of adverse action within

A

90 days after making a counteroffer unless the applicant accepts or uses the credit during that time, or the creditor may not have to notify the applicant of adverse action if the application was incomplete and the creditor sent the applicant notice that the application was incomplete.

75
Q

What information must be included in the Adverse Action Notice?

A
  • The creditors name,
  • The creditors address,
  • The nature of the action taken,
  • An ECOA notice that includes the identity of the federal agency responsible for enforcing compliance with ECOA,
  • Specific principal reasons for the action taken or disclose that the applicant has the right to request the reason(s) for denial within 60 days of receiving the creditor’s notification and the information of who to contact to receive that information.
76
Q

ECOA requires that creditors provide an applicant a copy of all appraisals and other written valuations that were developed in connection with the application promptly upon completion or at least ______?

A

3 business days prior to the consummation of the transaction whichever is earlier.

77
Q

What is the big difference between ECOA and the Fair Housing Act?

A

The Fair Housing Act is similar to ECOA with one small difference that is important to remember, the Fair Housing Act adds disability to the list of protected classes.

78
Q

List four things that are new or different about the new 1003.

A
  • The redesigned format is more consumer-friendly and supports accurate data collection and better efficiency. It looks a lot like the recently created Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure, which we will talk about later in this section.
  • It is meant to support the collection of details that are relevant and useful in making an underwriter decision (it also eliminates unnecessary information)
  • A new Spanish informational version will be provided (it cannot be used as an application, only as assistance for a Spanish speaker to fill out the 1003)
  • An expanded demographic area to help the lender collect the information required for the new 2019 HMDA Rule

A

The Loan Estimate and The Closing Disclosure.

81
Q

The Loan Estimate replaces

A

two disclosures that were required by RESPA and TILA, respectively, the Good Faith Estimate and the Initial Truth-in-Lending Disclosure.

82
Q

The Closing Disclosure also replaces

A

disclosures required by RESPA and TILA, the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and the Final Truth-in-Lending Disclosure. The new disclosures were simplified in their format and created to help clarify complicated mortgage terms for consumers.

83
Q

TRID does not apply to

A

Reverse Mortgages & HELOCs

Those transactions must continue to use Good Faith Estimates, Truth in Lending Disclosures and the HUD-1 Settlement Statement.

84
Q

The Loan Estimate is another initial disclosure required during the beginning of the loan application, specifically the Loan Estimate must be provided at the time of the application or within

A

3 business days of application.

85
Q

When we are talking about the Loan Estimate, a business day is considered _____?

A

all days that the lender is in full operation and their office is open to the public for carrying out substantially all its business functions.

86
Q

What are the things that appear on the first page of the Loan Estimate?

A
  • Loan terms
  • Date issued
  • Rate lock information
  • Loan type
87
Q

A
  • Can this amount increase after closing? This question is answered with a YES or a NO to let the borrower know if the terms of their loan could change after the loan has closed.
  • Can the loan amount change after closing? – only in a situation where negative amortization is allowed. Can the interest rate change after closing? – only if we are talking about an adjustable-rate mortgage.
  • Can the monthly principal and interest payments go up? - generally only when we are talking about adjustable-rate mortgages or other nontraditional mortgage products.
88
Q

Page Two of the LE is the

A

A

10% cumulative fee tolerance

94
Q

TRID also gives a no tolerance to services that a borrower can shop for that are not on a provider’s list such as

A

a hazard insurance provider, meaning that these fees can increase by any amount from their disclosure on the LE to the CD without penalty.

95
Q

Give a few examples of prepaids.

A

Homeowners Insurance Taxes
Prepaid interest

96
Q

Initial Escrow Payment

A

In most situations at the time of closing the borrower must make an initial payment into their escrow account to make sure that they have enough to pay property taxes and insurance when they come due.

97
Q

Generally, a creditor can revise a Loan Estimate at any time before it provides the Closing Disclosure. However, the creditor must ensure that the consumer receives the final revised LE no later than

A

4 business days prior to closing (or consummation).

98
Q

Give three examples of changed circumstances.

A
  • An extraordinary event out of anyone’s control (also known as an Act of God).
    o Example: a weather disaster like a hurricane or tornado
  • Information specific to the consumer or the transaction that the lender relied upon when providing the disclosures and that was inaccurate or changed after the disclosures were provided
    o Example: The appraisal comes back lower than initially expected, and the borrower no longer qualifies for the original product. They do qualify for a different product with different charges; for example, now they have to have mortgage insurance.
  • New information specific to the consumer or transaction that the lender did not rely on when providing the disclosures
    o Example: At the time of disclosure there was an unknown tax lien on the property, and that disqualifies the borrower for a specific product but still qualifies for a different product with different charges
99
Q

The new revised LE must be provided no later than

A

Q

What is the difference between a mortgage interest rate and an APR?

A

The difference between a mortgage interest rate and an APR is that the interest rate is the cost that the borrower pays each year to borrow money for a mortgage. An APR rate reflects the mortgage interest and other charges over the life of the loan including mortgage insurance. The APR is a broader measure of the cost to the borrower of borrowing that money. The APR reflects not only the interest rate but also the points, fees, and other charges that the borrower must pay to get the loan. For that reason, the APR is usually higher than the interest rate.
