HUD's View of Mark-ups
09/15/2003
I noticed comment in Memorandum for update pages in a Mortgage Lending publication the following:"Several U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal have disagreed with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on whether mark-ups of third-party charges are violations of RESPA. For example, may a lender pay $15 to a credit reporting agency for a report and then charge the customer $30 for the report at closing and keep the $15 difference? HUD has said this would be a violation of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and several courts have disagreed." Do you have any information concerning these court findings? Can this be done with this 3rd party charge or any others? Example; Could we charge for "payment coupon books" related to a mortgage loan payment?

Maximum Late Fee for Delinquent Loans
09/02/2003
I am the internal auditor at our bank and am currently reviewing lending operations. I am seeking to determine if there are any regulations or statutes that limit or prescribe amounts that can be charged borrowers as late fees for delinquent loan payments.
