Answer:
Neither RESPA nor Reg Z require a formal agreement, but having any request signed by the
borrower is not a bad idea to document how the increased payment came about. RESPA does require
the initial statement be completed within 45 days of the account’s establishment. I recommend doing
the analysis and explaining it to the borrower, then collecting the funds and getting Loan Admin to
change the billing from P&I to PITI for tax and insurance, assuming those are now included.
