I have a lender telling me that the borrower was considered to have shopped for services because the provider listed on the Settlement Service Provider List (SSPL) has 3 office locations and the borrower went through a different office location than that disclosed on the SSPL. The lender believes going to a different office address is considered "shopping." I don't agree, but would like clarification on this.

Our bank collects a fee for future mortgage releases. Even though at closing the fee goes to us, eventually it is paid to the county clerk when we release the mortgage.
For the purpose of the Loan Estimate and the Closing Disclosure is this fee considered paid to the Lender or to the County Clerk? Either way it would still be a 10% Tolerance category correct? If it is paid to the lender would that mean it needs to be included in the finance charge that affects the APR for calculating HOEPA?

Prior to Integrated Disclosures, a credit sale (selling and financing an OREO property) required us to disclose the Total Sale Price on an Estimated and Final TIL (12 CFR 1026.18(j)). Is there a similar requirement on the new Loan Estimate and/or Closing Disclosure or has this gone by the wayside?
