We receive submitted applications from our website that are considered complete per TRID. Upon receiving the submitted application, we attempt to directly contact the applicants by phone or email regarding the application and items needed to make a loan decision.
If we do not receive any contact from the applicant, what are the notification requirements? Should the app be considered incomplete and we send a Notice of Incompleteness and if there is still no response by a certain date, we can close the file? Also, what would the timing requirements be to send the notice and then to be able to close the file?

I have a borrower who would like to use his primary residence as collateral for a business line of credit in the business' name. Does TRID apply or any other regulations if its a business purpose?

If we accidentally deny a loan that has already been withdrawn by the borrower, prior to our credit decision, how should we handle the reporting of the HMDA data on the LAR? Should we report it as withdrawn per Reg C regardless of the existance of the denial letter, or should we report it as denied because there was a credit decision and letter issued and that's the action taken by the bank?

Denying a Joint Application

If we send a written joint counteroffer/Adverse Action Notice (counteroffer + Adverse Action language), per § 1002.9(a)(1)(iv), if the borrower responds AFTER the 90-day time frame, could we still honor their acceptance or should we require a new application? (Note that no additional denial is necessary due to the Adverse Action language contained in the counteroffer.)

I'm looking for some clarification on the Notice of Action Taken provided to businesses with revenues in excess of $1MM.
Can a Bank choose to provide these businesses with an Adverse Action Notice which lists the reasons for denial, or is the Bank required to provide the Notice of Action Taken which does not list the reasons for denial? I wasn't sure if there were any reasons that would prevent us from providing an Adverse Action Notice as opposed to a Notice of Action Taken.
Also, the provision does give the Bank the flexibility to notify the applicant, orally or in writing. If the applicant is notified orally, what would be the best course of action that the Bank or Loan Officer would need to take for compliance monitoring purposes?
"(ii) With regard to a business that had gross revenues in excess of $1 million in its preceding fiscal year or an extension of trade credit, credit incident to a factoring agreement, or other similar types of business credit, a creditor shall:
(A) Notify the applicant, within a reasonable time, orally or in writing, of the action taken; an
(B) Provide a written statement of the reasons for adverse action and theECOA notice specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section if the applicant makes a written request for the reasons within 60 days of the creditor's notification."

If I am doing a loan for an LLC where two partners own 40% each and the third owns 20%, do I need any information/documentation on the third owner if he is not going to be a borrower on this loan? Would meeting minutes be required where it is decided the third owner will not be signing the loan?

Under Reg B notification requirements, when an applicant is advised their application is approved pending additional documentation, (i.e. bank statements, insurance policies, loan payoff information, etc.) is this considered an approval or incomplete application under Reg B?

I saw a post on the BOL website from 2018 by David Dickinson titled "Applicant Re-Apply w/Co-Borrower: Counteroffer?" It was unclear to me whether the lender's requirement to add a co-borrower constitutes an "other term" as part of a "counteroffer" or whether the requirement to add a co-borrower requires the denial and written adverse action of the borrower and a new application by the borrower and co-borrower (i.e. is requiring a co borrower really a counter offer). I would appreciate any clarification on the issue.
