Loan Estimate: Disclosing NO for the rate lock

05/22/2016

I have a question concerning the Rate Lock disclosure on the Loan Estimate.

What if the interest rate does not change from the Loan Estimate to the Closing Disclosure?

TRID: Must the rate lock be written?

05/16/2016

In the last Compliance Action, there was a Rate Lock disclosure Q&A. My concern is not about the meat of the question, but about a comment regarding written rate lock agreements. It stated that the rate lock must be “written” to officially lock the rate per the TRID. I cannot find where TRID says that the rate lock must be written. Can you please point me to the section or other documentation requiring written rate locks? We are internally debating the discrepancy between TRID disclosures and the HOEPA/HCML issues related to setting the final rates.
