My notes say January 16, 2009. The GFE/HUD revisions are in 2010.

FYI: Today's ABA bulletin contained the following:
Quote:
The Federal Reserve yesterday extended the comment deadline from Jan. 23 to Feb. 9 on its proposal to revise the disclosure requirements for mortgage loans under Regulation Z (Truth in Lending). The revisions would implement the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act enacted in July as an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act.

According to my compliance group the mandatory date for the Servicing Disclosure is January 16, 2009.

For the new GFE it is January 2010.

Am I taking this language too literal? We portfolio all of our loans, no secondary market transactions for over 6 years. In this climate...who knows? But it is not our intent to ever sell, transfer or assign any of our loans. So, can we accurately state that we will be servicing this loan and do not INTEND to sell, transfer or assign? Is there any exposure down the road if something changes?

Yes, you should state you intend to service the loan. This is an estimate within 3 business days of application. Things might change. Your customer might be upset, but there's no regulatory exposure if you decide to sale/assign loans later.

All of our loans are subject to the servicing being sold, although they may not be, therefore we are disclosing that the loan servicing may be sold at anytime during the life of the loan.

Dan- if you are saying "may assign..." are you just taking a box and showing the other options or is that just the only statement following the heading "SERVICING TRANSFER INFORMATION"?

We're not showing the other choices on the form.

Does anyone know where I can get a sample form? We currently use ARTA for our loan forms? Does anyone know if the new form will be automtically updated with the new language?

I need some clarification as I am new to lending compliance:

The reg says the Servicing Disclosure is to be given at the time an application for a mortgage servicing loan is submitted, or within three days after submission of the application.

Is this an either or choice? Is it okay to always send it within three business days of submission even if it is a face-to-face application?

Does this disclosure requirement only apply to first mortgage loans (which could be sold on secondary market) or does it also include home improvement loans that might be a first lien?

It appears to me that the requirement for giving at time of face-to-face no longer applies.


Whether sold on secondary market or not has no bearing on giving the disclosure. Servicing could be simply collecting the monthly P&I.

We have ARTA too and the new servicing disclosure has been updated.

We just had an external audit and our auditors noted that we did not disclose it at a face to face application. They recommend that we give the servicing disclosure at application or within 3 business days of a mail application.

Is there any problem if we begin using the new form now? We don't need to wait until 1/16/09, do we?

We have been using the short form for over 3 years now. I just re-worded it to include the new language about servicing and have been using the update for about 3 or 4 weeks now.

Our vendor has not added the new language about servicing yet on the short form. Since the language is just a model, are we okay to use the short form without the added language until our vendor updates the form?

You do not have to use the new form until 1/16.

Well, that brings me to my new question. Our vendor has deleted a large portion of the sentence on the model disclosure that explains what "servicing" entails. The vendor states that their form is sufficient for compliance. So, should the language be verbatim when compared to the model? Or is the disclosure of intent sufficient?

OK! I need the difinitive answer. Is using the old form sufficient (overkill, but sufficient), or do we need to migrate to the new version with new language by 1/16/09? We have not yet heard from either of our two loan origination software vendors on the new document!
