On the loan estimate, I input it as a balloon rather than installment which drastically increased the payment. Do I need to redisclose theis with a revised LE or do I make the correction in the closing disclosure?

TRID Closing Disclosure confusion on Seller-Paid H, Other, and J, Total Closing Costs Subtotals (D+I) – Should we disclose all fee/costs listed on our Title(Seller) CD?
According to 1026.38(h)(2), it appears that we should list ALL loan costs on page 2 of the closing CD under section H. Also, 1026.38(k) discusses Summary of seller’s transaction.
For example, we had a Judgement Payoff to a Law Firm ($987.97) in section H of Seller-Paid on our Title CD. This was not disclosed on our Buyer’s CD and does not carry over to section Seller-Paid – Section J. Total Closing Costs Subtotals.
My concern is that the totals do not match the Title-CD bottom line “J-Closing Costs Subtotals.” What is the correct way to itemize and disclose these?

We have a builder in one of our markets who is the seller on one of our transactions. He wants to pay to buydown for the borrowers interest rate. This would cause us to go over the points and fees threshold. My question is, would a seller paid amount to take the rate down be exempt from the points and fees calculation?

When there is a postage fee/courier fee for a TRID loan, is this fee always disclosed as a prepaid finance charge or does who is charging for the fee determine if it is a prepaid finance charge or not?
For example, when the lender is charging a postage/courier fee, the fee is disclosed as a prepaid finance charge because the lender is charging it. When the title company is charging a postage/courier fee, would it be a non-prepaid finance charge, or is this still considered a prepaid finance charge?
