A one off where we collected the appraisal fee before receiving Intent to Proceed.

Do we cure? Do we eat the cost of the appraisal or do we notate, train and move on?

I couldn't find any guidance.

Did the loan close? If yes, no you don't eat it but you do notate and train. If it didn't close, you eat the fee.

It closed. So just a teachable moment and opportunity to strengthen controls but no cure to the consumer.
Thank you

There is some potential legal risk overhang with this. It is technically a violation that cannot be corrected (unless you've got a time machine). As such, it could be raised as a defense, should the borrower default and you begin foreclosure proceedings. Just something to be aware of.

Tacking onto this thread. We have been asked by a correspondent lender to consider funding a loan where the Originator accidentally collected the appraisal fee prior to the Intent to Proceed. The loan is approaching funding and they are concerned about sale ability in the secondary market (as well they should be).

Any further thoughts on this from experts on if this is a fatal flaw that can be a legit defense in foreclosure?

Thanks

A defense in a foreclosure - I think not. However, it is a fatal flaw from a potential civil liability standpoint. If the investor figures it out - it is coming back 100% guarantied.
