TILA RESPA Integrated DisclosureCFPB New Rules and Regulations
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) GoalsConsumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) creates and enforces TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID).
TILA-RESPA rule consolidates four existing disclosures (GFE, Initial TIL, Final TIL and HUD-1) into two forms: Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD).
CFPB Goal
The new Loan Estimate form is designed to provide disclosures that will be helpful to consumers in understanding the key features, costs, and risks of the mortgage loan for which they are applying.
Closing Disclosure is designed to provide disclosures that will be helpful to consumers in understanding all of the costs of the transaction.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Goals
The forms use clear language and design to make it easier for consumers to locate key information, such as interest rate, monthly payments, and costs to close the loan.
The forms also provide more information to help consumers decide whether they can afford the loan and to facilitate comparison of the cost of different loan offers, including the cost of the loans over time.

General Review about the Closing Disclosure
• CD is a Combination or replacement of the final TIL and HUD.
• Lender is liable for the content and the delivery of the disclosure
• CD must be received by the borrower three specific business days before closing.
• All persons on Title on a rescindable transaction (refinance)
• Primary borrower on a non-rescindable transaction
• CD may not be delivered the same day as the LE
• Standard LE goes with standard CD and Alternate LE goes with Alternate CD
• Changes in APR of more than 1/8% increase, product change, or addition of a prepayment penalty require an additional 3 day waiting period.
• There is a 30 day limit on numerical and 60 day revision for the clerical only
TIMING IS CRITICAL
Borrower must received the CD prior 3 business days prior to the day of closing .
Lender will protect the delivery deadline by sending it themselves by following (mail box) rule . The 6 days ahead a time However, it must be received 3 days ahead of closing.
The very latest time is 60 days post closing that can be non numerical or we consider only clerical revision made on the CD to reflecting actually the disbursement and the closing figures the corrected revised CD may be delivered to the borrower within 60 days of closing.
The 30 days correction timeline is for Numerical issues like inaccurate fee or something disclosed on the CD at the time of closing we have 30 days to make that corrections and non of these correction can affect the APR and ADDED PRE-PAYMENT PENALTY or change the product to the Loan .
Closing Delays
There are three primary reasons why a new closing disclosure would require a 3 days waiting period?
- APR is inaccurate or increased by 1/8% or more
- Product change “ 30 years fixed to 15 years fixed or ARM to Fixed.”
- Pre-payment penalty was added.
As long as the change is not one of the above ,the transaction is only subject to the buyer’s right to wait 24 hours to sign. If that right is waived ,the transaction could close the same day.
Thank You!
