The ARM notice is giving a customer major heartburn
08/11/2024
A customer just received her initial ARM adjustment rate notice, and is kind of flipping out. She thought she was paying a lot more toward principal, and with the rate now adjusting up, she is even more dismayed to see how much will be going to interest. Do we HAVE to break down the principal and interest amounts on her ARM notice, or may we just say the total projected amount?

Change in terms on an ARM loan – to the customer’s benefit – so are new disclosures needed?
08/04/2024
We are doing a change in terms to modify a consumer’s ARM loan. We are reducing the margin to make up for a higher index rate when the rate adjustment hits, and are resetting the adjustment period from 5 years to 3 years. The customer is benefiting from this change (the rate will actually go down just a touch), and they are signing a CIT agreement. Is this OK to do with just a CIT agreement?
