Is the Federal Reserve's booklet, "A Consumer's Guide to Mortgage Settlement Costs" the same as HUD's Settlement Cost Booklet? Can we give it out instead and comply with RESPA? Thanks.

RESPA

No to both questions. You must use HUD's booklet to comply with RESPA (Reg. X).

Far from Calif
What I heard from our purchasing dept. yesterday:
Quote:
I have contacted the HUD Service Center 3 times now. First they let me order 300 free (12/18/2009). Then when I called about the order on 1/12/10 they said the form has been taken out due to more revisions. Today I called and they informed me that the brochure was only available online via a download.

When the first revision was announced, I ordered serveral hundred copies and received them. Of course, a few days later they did a minor revision again. crazy

Also, they were printing copies of the document on 8 1/2 X 11 paper not actual booklets.

Someone mentioned in a different thread that HUD will no longer be issuing the booklets in hard copy and had cancelled all orders. We ordered through a vendor in January because HUD was taking too long and I got the booklets in 3 days (and not very expensive either).

Did you receive the new HUD booklets, or the Federal Reserve version? We're having a hard time finding a vendor who has and can print the HUD version (which is what we are supposed to use).

Sinatra Fan--

We got ours through National Bank Products. It is the HUD version and they made them the same size as the old ones in booklet form (8.5x4).

You won't receive them from HUD. HUD stopped all orders when the errors were found. HUD said they would not be doing anymore courtesy mailings. You either go online and print off the booklet or order from a vender.


We ordered from where DD did.

Can you tell me what WKFI charged per booklet? Was it in booklet form or was it full sheet of paper size?
