AREAS OF FINDINGS
ARM Calculation Stream
No longer valid due to changes in TIL. New form requires that the stream is calculated for the first five years and then must disclose maximum possible amount per loan documentation.

AREAS OF FINDINGS
Rescission Time Periods
Borrowers continue to date both parts of the rescission form as of the closing date. This should be caught by robust post closing packet review. Remember that this will leave you open to a possible 3 year rescission period and in the worst case allow the borrower to have an interest free unsecured note for the three year period.

AREAS OF FINDINGS

AREAS OF FINDINGS
RESPA issues There continue to be problems with GFEs and
HUD1/1A’s in the area of “no cost” fixed second mortgage products. Issues are caused when bank overestimates the reimbursement costs and then changes them on the Final HUD1/1A. This leads to a change in the amount of the reimbursement to the borrower which can not be reduced at time of closing. Changes require new documentation and if three day period is not available than borrower has option to waive the period but should be in writing and not on a form letter.

2012 EXAMINATION FOCUS
Since the CFPB has not yet determined the new forms yet we will be going back to basics. Risk-based examinations will follow most of the old procedures.
