It's because of changes to the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID), and this will affect everyone involved in real estate, from consumers to Realtors to lenders. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a final rule amending regulations to the Truth in Lending Act as well as the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. So, what does this mean for you? The TILA-RESPA rule consolidates four disclosures for closed and credit transactions secured by real property into two different forms. One of these forms is a loan estimate that must be delivered or placed in the mail no later than the 3rd business day after receiving the consumer's application. A closing disclosure must be provided to the consumer at least three business days prior to consummation. These new disclosures must be provided by a creditor or mortgage banker that receives an application from a consumer for a closed-end credit transaction. The TILA-RESPA rule includes some new restrictions on certain activity prior to consumers receiving the loan estimate. These restrictions took effect on August 1, 2015 regardless of whether an application was received on that date. These restrictions include imposing fees on a consumer before the consumer has received the loan estimate, or requiring submission of documents verifying information related to the consumer's application before providing the loan estimate. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about this issue. I understand that it may seem a little confusing or overwhelming. I would be happy to clear up any misconceptions that you may have!
