FFIEC and the Reclassified MSA Branches
08/18/2003
On June 6, 2003, FFIEC reclassified some of the MSA branches. The branch getting us into the HMDA reporting was dropped (which means we are no longer report HMDA ....hurrah.....) My question is, how do we report the information collected prior to June 6, 2003. Do we continue to collect HMDA information past the June 6th date? And what do we report to HUD next year? I have sent this question to HUD, FFIEC and FDIC (our regulator) and I have received no guidance. I need guidance. Can you help?
ARM (LIBOR) Interest-only Loan Calculation
08/18/2003
This has to do with ARM (LIBOR) interest-only loans. On our final TIL disclosure schedule of payments it shows that the amount of payments have decreased. This is due to historical low interest rates. Obviously, the calculation or formula is not shown on the TIL. However, in order for our IT department to program our system to calculate this type of loan product, I need a basis for the calculations. My question to you: is there a particular Web site that shows exactly how to calculate the ARMS interest only based on LIBOR index (decrease payments)? I've spent the past few days surfing various Web sites (including OTS, OCC, and Treasury) regarding this question to no avail.
