PRE APPLICATION

PRE-APPLICATION Prior to receiving the 6 specific items of information, lenders may provide consumers with written estimates, but any pre- application written estimate must contain a disclaimer that it is not an official Loan Estimate.

APPLICATION

The Lender or Broker must provide the Loan Estimate within 3 business days of a loan application being submitted, even if this is not a formal written application. This means that even if you take an application online, on the phone, on a napkin or on Facebook you have to give the borrower the Loan Estimate within 3 days.

TIMING – CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCE FormTriggerDaysWho can completeSpecial Notes Loan Estimate Change of Circumstance 3Lender Creditor/Wholesale Lender Must provide an updated Loan Estimate to the borrower by the end day 3 of becoming aware of the change. This means if you become aware of anything, loan amount change, program change, fee change, etc. you have to the end of the 3 rd day to send the borrower an updated Loan Estimate. If a series of changed circumstances contributes to the need for increased fees, the due date of the revised disclosure is determined a little differently. In such case the last of the events increasing the disclosed and estimated fee over the 10% limit would be the triggering event for re-disclosure.

TIMING – RE-DISCLOSURE FormTriggerDaysWho can completeSpecial Notes Loan Estimate Initial Disclosure/Re- disclosure 7 days before consummation Broker (Initial LE only) Lender (Initial LE and re- disclosure Creditor/Wholesale Lender (Initial LE and re- disclosure) As with the initial disclosure, a revised Loan Estimate must be delivered or placed in the mail seven business days before closing is scheduled.

TIMING - CLOSING FormTriggerDaysWho can completeSpecial Notes Closing Disclosure Closing3 days prior to consummation Lender Creditor/Wholesale Lender Consummation is defined at the state level. This means you follow the laws in your state. The definition of consummation is the day in which the borrower becomes contractually obligated to the creditor, not the seller.

NEW 3 DAY WAITING PERIOD ON RE- DISCLOSURE OF CLOSING DISCLOSURE There are three changes to disclosures that require a new waiting period if they become inaccurate before consummation. They are: 1.The annual percentage rate (APR) disclosed becomes inaccurate. If the lender makes changes to the APR greater than 1/8 of a percent for most loans and 1/4 of a percent for loans with irregular payments or periods, changes the loan product, or adds a prepayment penalty to the loan, the borrower must receive a new Closing Disclosure and an additional three business day waiting period after receipt of the new form. 2.The loan product changes. The loan product is considered to have changed if any of the “Product” information required to be disclosed changes—generally, any rate or payment feature (e.g., an adjustable rate, step rate, fixed rate, negative amortization, interest only, step payment, balloon payment or seasonal payment schedule). 3.A prepayment penalty is added that causes the required prepayment penalty statement to become inaccurate.

LOAN ESTIMATE 23 Must be sent within 3 business days after the lender or broker receives the consumer’s application 3 Business Days7 Business Days Must be sent no later than 7 days before consummation Consummation A transaction is consummated when the consumer becomes contractually obligated to a creditor.

CONSUMMATION
