Where can I find a copy of the exact information/wording that is to be placed on a consumer loan application that is also used for real estate-secured requests? Using the Internet for research, much of the info seems contradictory.

Can we quote loan rates for auto, mortgage, and commercial loans over the phone? Do they have to be the APR or can the rates we quote be the note rate? Can we quote rate and terms over the phone without long disclosures? The regs are pretty clear on advertising, but I am interested in call-in customers....

With the HMDA revision, I have read that the new definition of refinancing is a transaction in which a new obligation satisfies and replaces an existing obligation, where both the existing and the new loan are secured by a lien on a dwelling. However, in the revised reg., it says that for coverage purposes, a refinance is when the existing obligation is a home purchase loan and both the existing and the new obligation are secured by first liens on dwellings. For reporting purposes, both the existing and the new obligation are secured by liens on dwellings. What is the difference under the revised reg between coverage purposes and reporting purposes? What types of loans should be reported as refinances in the future?
