The 2016 Servicing Rule took effect on October 19, 2017, except the
provisions related to successors in interest and periodic statements for
consumers in bankruptcy, which took effect on April 19, 2018. The CFPB
concurrently issued an interpretive rule under the Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act (FDCPA) to clarify the interaction of the FDCPA and specified mortgage
servicing rules in Regulations X and Z. (81 Fed. Reg. 71977) (October 19,
2016).
In 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer
Protection Act (EGRRCPA)11 amended several provisions of TILA, including: (1)
the addition of a new safe-harbor qualified mortgage category for portfolio
mortgages of certain insured depository institutions and insured credit unions;
(2) modification of the waiting period requirements for high-cost mortgage loan
consummation under certain conditions; (3) clarification of “customary and
reasonable” as they pertain to fee appraisers who voluntarily donate appraisal
services to certain charitable organizations; and (4) student loan protections
in the event of bankruptcy or death of the student or non-student obligor. The
EGRRCPA also amended TILA to exclude manufactured or modular housing retailers
and their employees from loan originator compensation requirements when
specific conditions are met,and amended the Secure and Fair Enforcement for
Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act) regarding employment transition of certain
loan originators. These provisions were generally effective on May 24, 2018,
except for the student loan protections, which became effective on November 24,
2018, and the SAFE Act changes, which became effective on November 24, 2019. On
November 16, 2019, the Bureau issued an interpretive rule on the SAFE Act
changes,
Subpart E (12 CFR 1026.31 through 1026.45) certain disclosures and
provide limitations for closed-end credit transactions and open-end credit
plans that have rates or fees above specified amounts or certain prepayment
penalties (12 CFR 1026.32). Special disclosures are also required, including
the total annual loan cost rate, for reverse mortgage transactions (12 CFR
1026.33). The rules also prohibit specific acts and practices in connection
with high-cost mortgages, as defined in 12 CFR 1026.32(a), (12 CFR 1026.34); in
connection with closed-end higher-priced mortgage loans, as defined in 12 CFR
1026.35(a), (12 CFR 1026.35); and in connection with an extension of credit
secured by a dwelling (12 CFR 1026.36). This subpart also sets forth disclosure
requirements, effective October 3, 2015, for certain closed-end transactions
secured by real property, or a cooperative unit, as required by 12 CFR
1026.19(e) and (f) 12 CFR 1026.37-38, disclosures for mortgage transfers 12 CFR
1026.39, and disclosure requirements for periodic statements for residential
mortgage loans (12 CFR 1026.41). In addition, it contains minimum standards for
transactions secured by a dwelling, including provisions relating to ability to
repay and qualified mortgages
Annual Percentage Rate Definition – 12 CFR 1026.22 (Closed-End
Credit) Credit costs may vary depending on the interest rate, the amount of the
loan and other charges, the timing and amounts of advances, and the repayment
schedule. The APR, which must be disclosed in nearly all consumer credit
transactions, is designed to take into account all relevant factors and to
provide a uniform measure for comparing the cost of various credit
transactions. The APR is a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a
nominal yearly rate. It relates the amount and timing of value received by the
consumer to the amount and timing of payments made. The disclosure of the APR
is central to the uniform credit cost disclosure envisioned by the TILA. The
value of a closed-end credit APR must be disclosed as a single rate only,
whether the loan has a single interest rate, a variable interest rate, a
discounted variable interest rate, or graduated payments based on separate
interest rates (step rates), and it must appear with the segregated
disclosures. Segregated disclosures are grouped together and do not contain any
information not directly related to the disclosures required under
Financial institutions may, if permitted by state or other law,
precompute interest by applying a rate against a loan balance using a simple
interest, add-on, discount or some other method, and may earn interest using a
simple interest accrual system, the Rule of 78s (if permitted by law) or some
other method. Unless the financial institution’s internal interest earnings and
accrual methods involve a simple interest rate based on a 360-day year that is
applied over actual days (even that is important only for determining the
accuracy of the payment schedule), it is not relevant in calculating an APR,
since an APR is not an interest
The regulation requires that the terms “finance charge” and “annual
percentage rate” be disclosed more conspicuously than any other required
disclosure, subject to limited exceptions. The finance charge and APR, more
than any other disclosures, enable consumers to understand the cost of the
credit and to comparison shop for credit. A creditor’s failure to disclose
those values accurately can result in significant monetary damages to the
creditor, either from a class action lawsuit or from a regulatory agency’s
order to reimburse consumers for violations of law. If an APR or finance charge
is disclosed incorrectly, the error is not, in itself, a violation of the
regulation if: • The error resulted from a corresponding error in a calculation
tool used in good faith by the financial institution. • Upon discovery of the
error, the financial institution promptly discontinues use of that calculation
tool for disclosure purposes. • The financial institution notifies the CFPB in
writing of the error in the calculation tool.
When a financial institution claims a calculation tool was used in
good faith, the financial institution assumes a reasonable degree of
responsibility for ensuring that the tool in question provides the accuracy
required by the regulation (15 U.S.C. 1640 (c)). For example, the financial
institution might verify the results obtained using the tool by comparing those
results to the figures obtained by using another calculation tool. The financial
institution might also verify that the tool, if it is designed to operate under
the actuarial method, produces figures similar to those provided by the
examples in Appendix J to the regulation. The calculation tool should be
checked for accuracy before it is first used and periodically thereafter
Change in Terms Notices for Home Equity Plans Subject to 12 CFR
1026.40 – 12 CFR 1026.9(c) Servicers are required to provide consumers with 15
days’ advance written notice of a change to any term required to be disclosed
under 12 CFR 1026.6(a) or where the required minimum periodic payment is
increased. Notice is not required when the change involves a reduction of any
component of a finance charge or other charge or when the change results from
an agreement involving a court proceeding. If the creditor prohibits additional
extensions of credit or reduces the credit limit in certain circumstances (if
permitted by contract), a written notice must be provided no later than three
business days after the action is taken and must include the specific reasons
for the action. If the creditor requires the consumer to request reinstatement
of credit privileges, the notice also must state that
Subpart C – Closed-End Credit Subpart C relates to closed-end
credit. It contains rules on disclosures 12 CFR 1026.17-.20, treatment of
credit balances 12 CFR 1026.21, annual percentage rate calculations 12 CFR
1026.22, rescission rights 12 CFR 1026.23, and advertising (12 CFR 1026.24).
The TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures must be given for most closed-end
transactions secured by real property or a cooperative unit, other than a
reverse mortgage subject to 12 CFR 1026.33. The TILA-RESPA Integrated
Disclosures do not apply to HELOCs, reverse mortgages, or mortgages secured by
a mobile home or by a dwelling that is not attached to real property. Truth in
Lending disclosures (TIL disclosures) and the Consumer Handbook on Adjustable
Rate Mortgages (CHARM) booklet must still be provided for certain closed-end

The TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures must be given for most closed-end
transactions secured by real property or a cooperative unit, other than a
reverse mortgage subject to 12 CFR 1026.33. The TILA-RESPA Integrated
Disclosures do not apply to HELOCs, reverse mortgages, or mortgages secured by
a mobile home or by a dwelling that is not attached to real property. Truth in
Lending disclosures (TIL disclosures) and the Consumer Handbook on Adjustable
Rate Mortgages (CHARM) booklet must still be provided for certain closed-end
business days of receipt of the consumer’s loan application and to
ensure that the consumer receives the Closing Disclosure no later than three
business days before loan consummation (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(iii),
1026.19(f)(1)(ii)). If the loan is a purchase transaction, the special
information booklet must also be provided within three business days of receipt
of the consumer’s application (12 CFR 1026.19(g)). The specifics of these
disclosure timing requirements are further discussed below, including a
discussion about revised disclosures. Mortgage loans not subject to 12 CFR
1026.19(e) and (f) (e.g., reverse mortgages, and chattel-dwelling loans) have
different disclosure requirements. For reverse mortgages, disclosures must be
delivered or mailed to the consumer no later than the third business day after
a creditor receives the consumer’s written application (12 CFR 1026.19(a)). For
chattel-dwelling mortgage loans, disclosures must be provided to the consumer
prior to consummation of the loan (12 CFR 1026.17(b)). Revised disclosures are
also required within three business days of consummation if certain mortgage
loan terms change (12 CFR 1026.19(a)(2)). For loans like reverse mortgages, the
consumer will receive the Good Faith Estimate (GFE), HUD-1 Settlement Statement
(HUD-1), and Truth in Lending disclosures as required under the applicable
sections of both TILA and RESPA. Consumers receive TIL disclosures for
chattel-dwelling loans that are not secured by land, but the GFE and the HUD-1 are
not required. Finally, certain variable rate transactions secured by a dwelling
have additional disclosure obligations with specific timing requirements both
prior to and after consummation (see 12 CFR 1026.20(c) and (d) below).
Variable and Adjustable Rate
• Disclosures for variable rate loans must be given for the full
term of the transaction and must be based on the terms in effect at the time of
consummation.
• If the variable rate transaction includes either a seller buydown
that is reflected in a contract or a consumer buydown, the disclosed APR should
be a composite rate based on the lower rate for the buy-down period and the
rate that is the basis for the variable rate feature for the remainder of the
term. • If the initial rate is not determined by the index or formula used to
make later interest rate adjustments, as in a discounted variable-rate
transaction, the disclosed APR must reflect a composite rate based on the
initial rate for as long as it is applied and, for the remainder of the term,
the rate that would have been applied using the index or formula at the time of
consummation (i.e., the fully indexed rate). o If a loan contains a rate or
payment cap that would prevent the initial rate or payment, at the time of the
adjustment, from changing to the fully indexed rate, the effect of that rate or
payment cap needs to be reflected in the disclosures. o The index at
consummation need not be used if the contract provides a delay in the
implementation of changes in an index value (e.g., the contract indicates that
future rate changes are based on the index value in effect for some specified
period, such as 45 days before the change date). Instead, the financial
institution may use any rate from the date of consummation back to the beginning
of the specified period (e.g., during the previous 45-day period). • If the
initial interest rate is set according to the index or formula used for later
adjustments but is set at a value as of a date before consummation, disclosures
should be based on the initial interest rate, even though the index may have
changed by close date
Finance Charge – 12 CFR 1026.18(c) The total amount of the finance
charge must be disclosed for all loans. In a transaction secured by real
property or a dwelling, the disclosed finance charge and other disclosures
affected by the disclosed finance charge (including the amount financed and the
annual percentage rate) must be treated as accurate if the amount disclosed as
the finance charge (1) is understated by no more than $100 or (2) is greater than
the amount required to be disclosed. Amount Financed
If the obligation is a renewable balloon payment instrument that
unconditionally obligates the financial institution to renew the short-term
loan at the consumer’s option or to renew the loan subject to conditions within
the consumer’s control, the payment schedule must be disclosed using the longer
term of the renewal period or periods. The long-term loan must be disclosed
with a variable rate feature. If there are no renewal conditions or if the
financial institution guarantees to renew the obligation in a refinancing, the
payment schedule must be disclosed using the shorter balloon payment term. The
short-term loan must be disclosed as a fixed rate loan, unless it contains a
variable rate feature during the initial loan term. Annual Percentage Rate
(Closed-End Credit)
Due to the structure of construction-permanent and certain other
multiple advance loans, Regulation Z includes certain optional provisions to
help a creditor estimate the components of the APR and finance charge
computations for these loans. In many instances, the amount and dates of
advances are not predictable with certainty since they depend on the progress
of the work. Regulation Z provides that the APR and finance charge for such
loans may be estimated for disclosure based on the best information reasonably
available at the time of disclosure (12 CFR 1026.17(c)(2)(i)). Further, a
creditor has optionality as to whether it discloses the advances separate or
together as one transaction in certain circumstances. First, a series of
advances under an agreement to extend credit up to a certain amount may be
considered as one transaction or disclosed as separate transactions (12 CFR
1026.17(c)(6)(i)). Second, when a multiple-advance loan to finance the
construction of a dwelling may be permanently financed by the same creditor,
the construction phase and the permanent phase may be treated as either one
transaction or more than one transaction (12 CFR 1026.17(c)(6)(ii)). Because
construction loans or construction permanent loans may be disclosed as one
transaction, or as multiple transactions, computations can be impacted by this
decision. If the actual schedule of advances is not known, the methods set
forth in Appendix D may be used to estimate the interest portion of the finance
charge and the annual percentage rate and to make disclosures (12 CFR Part 1026
App. D). At its option, the financial institution may rely on the
representations of other parties to acquire necessary information
In a multiple advance construction loan, a creditor may establish
an “interest reserve” to ensure that interest is paid as it accrues by
designating a portion of the loan amount for that interest payment purpose. If
the creditor requires interest reserves for construction loans, Appendix D
provides further guidance. Among other things, the amount of interest reserves
included in the commitment amount is not treated as a prepaid finance charge,
whether the interest reserve is the same as or different from the estimated
interest figure calculated under Appendix D (Comment App. D-5). If a creditor
permits a consumer to make interest payments as they become due, the interest
reserve should be disregarded in the disclosures and calculations under
Appendix D (Comment App. D-5.i). If a creditor requires the establishment of an
interest reserve and automatically deducts interest payments from the reserve
amount rather than allow the consumer to make interest payments as they become
due, the fact that interest will accrue on those interest payments as well as
the other loan proceeds must be reflected in the calculations and disclosures.
To reflect the effects of such compounding, the creditor should use the formula
in Appendix D (Comment App. D-5.ii). Fees and Charges In the case of a
construction-permanent loan that a creditor chooses to disclose as multiple
transactions, the creditor must
360-Day and 365-Day Years – 12 CFR 1026.17(c)(3)
By State
Disclosure violations may occur, however, when a financial
institution applies a daily interest factor based on a 360-day year to the
actual number of days between payments. In those situations, the financial
institution must disclose the higher values of the finance charge, the APR, and
the payment schedule resulting from this practice.

Creditors making closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by
real property or a cooperative unit, other than a reverse mortgage subject to
12 CFR 1026.33, and subject to the provisions of 12 CFR 1026.19(e) and (f),
must provide consumers with a Loan Estimate
The Loan Estimate must be delivered or placed in the mail to the
consumer no later than the third business day after the creditor or mortgage
broker receives the consumer’s application for a mortgage loan . If the Loan
Estimate is not provided to the consumer in person, the consumer is considered
to have received the Loan Estimate three business days after it is delivered or
placed in the mail (this applies to electronic delivery as well) (12 CFR
1026.19(e)(1)(iv); Comment 19(e)(1)(iv)-2). Other than for transactions secured

Zero tolerance. For charges other than those that are specifically
excepted, as noted below, creditors may not charge consumers more than the
amount disclosed on the Loan Estimate, other than for changed circumstances
that permit a revised Loan Estimate (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(3)(i) and (iv). The zero
tolerance charges generally include but are not limited to the following: •
Fees for required services paid to the creditor, mortgage broker, or an
affiliate of either (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(3)(i), Comment 19(e)(3)(i)-1(i)-(iii));
• Fees paid to an unaffiliated third party if the creditor did not permit the
consumer to shop for a third-party service provider for a settlement service or
transfer taxes (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(3)(i)), Comment 19(e)(3)(i)-1(iv)-(v)). 10
percent cumulative tolerance. Charges for third-party services and recording
fees paid by or imposed on the consumer are grouped together and are subject to
a 10 percent cumulative tolerance. This means the creditor may charge the
consumer more than the amount disclosed on the Loan Estimate for any of these
charges so long as the total sum of the charges does not exceed the sum of all
such charges disclosed on the Loan Estimate by more than 10 percent (12 CFR
1026.19(e)(3)(ii)(A)). These charges are: • Recording fees (Comments
19(e)(3)(ii)-1.ii and -4); • Charges for required third-party services if: o
The charge is not paid to the creditor or the creditor’s affiliate (12 CFR
1026.19(e)(3)(ii)(B)); and o The consumer is permitted by the creditor to shop
for the third-party service (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(3)(
Variances permitted without tolerance limit:
Prepaid interest; property insurance premiums; amounts placed into
an escrow, impound, reserve or similar account (12 CFR
1026.19(e)(3)(iii)(A)-(C)). • Charges paid to third-party service providers for
services required by the creditor if the creditor permits the consumer to shop
and the consumer selects a third-party service provider not on the creditor’s
written list of service providers (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(3)(iii)(D); Comment
19(e)(3)(iii)-2). • Property taxes and other charges paid to third-party
service providers for services not required by the creditor
Refunds within 60 days of consummation. If the amounts paid by the
consumer at closing exceed the amounts disclosed on the Loan Estimate beyond
the applicable tolerance threshold, the creditor must refund the excess to the
consumer no later than 60 calendar days after consummation (12 CFR
1026.19(f)(2)(v)). • For charges subject to zero tolerance, any amount charged
beyond the amount disclosed on the Loan Estimate must be refunded to the
consumer (12 CFR 1026.19(e)(3)(i)). • For charges subject to a 10 percent cumulative
tolerance, to the extent the total sum of the charges exceeds the sum of all
such charges disclosed on the Loan Estimate by more than 10 percent, the
difference must be refunded to the consumer
Loan Estimate - Revisions and Corrections
(A): Changed circumstances – increased settlement charges. Changed
circumstances that occur after the Loan Estimate is provided to the consumer
that cause estimated settlement charges to increase more than is permitted
under the TILARESPA Integrated Disclosure rule
A natural disaster that damages the property or otherwise results
in additional closing costs; o A creditor’s estimate of title insurance is no
longer valid because the title insurer goes out of business; or o New
information not relied on when the Loan Estimate was provided is discovered,
such as a neighbor of the seller filing a claim contesting the property
boundary.
B) Changed circumstances – consumer eligibility: such as income
different than stated
(C): Revisions requested by the consumer: title changes, power of
attorney, legal
(D): Rate locks after initial Loan Estimate.
(E): Expiration of Loan Estimate. If the consumer indicates an
intent to proceed with the transaction more than 10 business days (or any
additional number of days as extended by the creditor orally or in writing)
after the Loan Estimate was delivered or placed in the mail to the consumer, a
creditor may use a revised Loan Estimate. No justification is required for the
change to the original estimate of a charge other than the lapse of 10 business
days or the additional number of days as extended by the creditor
(F): Construction loans. Creditors also may use a revised Loan
Estimate where the transaction involves financing of new construction and the
creditor reasonably expects that settlement will occur more than 60 calendar
days after the original Loan Estimate has been provided if the original Loan
Estimate clearly and conspicuously stated that at any time prior to 60 days
before consummation, the creditor may issue revised disclosures
Documentation of intent to proceed. To satisfy the record retention
requirements of 12 CFR 1026.25, the creditor must document the consumer’s
communication of the intent to proceed (12 CF Oral communication in person

the phone, written communication via email, or signing a pre-printed form after
receipt of the Loan Estimate.

“Consummation” occurs when the consumer becomes contractually
obligated to the creditor on the loan, not, for example, when the consumer
becomes contractually obligated to a seller on a real estate transaction. The
time when a consumer becomes contractually obligated to the creditor on the
loan depends on applicable state law Closing Disclosure form no later than
three business days before consummation If the Closing Disclosure is provided
in person, it is considered received by the consumer on the day it is provided.
If it is mailed or delivered electronically, the consumer is considered to have

agents to have the settlement agent provide the Closing Disclosure to consumers
on the creditor’s behalf, provided that the settlement agent complies with all
relevant requirements

Disclosure containing all changed terms (12 CFR 1026.19(f)(2)): • Changes that
occur before consummation that require a new three-business-day waiting period

require a new three-business-day waiting period; and (12 CFR 1026.19(f)(2)(i));
• Changes that occur after consummation. The disclosed APR becomes inaccurate, The
loan product changes. A prepayment penalty is added
When a post-consummation event requires a corrected Closing
Disclosure, the creditor must deliver or place in the mail a corrected Closing
Disclosure not later than 30 calendar days after receiving information sufficient
to establish that such an event has occurred. (12 CFR 1026.19(f)(2)(iii);
Comment 19(f)(2)(iii)-1) In transactions involving a seller, the settlement
agent must provide the seller with a corrected Closing Disclosure if an event
occurs within 30 days of consummation that makes the disclosures inaccurate as
they relate to the amount actually paid by the seller. The settlement agent
must deliver or mail a corrected closing disclosure no later than 30 days from
receiving information that establishes the Closing Disclosure is inaccurate and
results in a change to an amount actually paid by the seller from what was
previously disclosed Changes due to clerical errors. The creditor must provide
a corrected Closing Disclosure to correct non-numerical clerical errors no
later than 60 calendar days after consummation Refunds related to the good
faith analysis. The creditor can cure a tolerance violation of 12 CFR
