RESPA Disclosures

Type of Disclosure	# of Disclosures	Timing	Explanation
1. Special Information Booklet	At least one applicant (24 CFR 3500.6(a))	Within 3 days after receipt of application (24 CFR 3500.6(a)(1))	Not required for refinances, subordinate liens and reverse mortgage liens or if loan declined within 3 business days after receipt of application. (24 CFR 3500.6(a)(3))
2. When Your Home is On the Line: What You Should Know About Home Equity Lines of Credit	At least one applicant (24 CFR 3500.6(a))	Within 3 days after receipt of application (24 CFR 3500.6(a)(1))	Given in lieu of Special Information Booklet to applicants of home equity loans and other open-end credit plans; not required for refinances, subordinate liens and reverse mortgage liens. (24 CFR 3500.6(a)(2) and (3))
3. Controlled (or Affiliated) Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement (AfBA)	RESPA does not address. However, as GFE may be provided to one applicant, it would be reasonable to interpret RESPA as permitting AfBA to also be provided to one applicant.	Must be provided on a separate piece of paper no later than the time of each referral, or, if the lender requires use of a particular provider, the time of application, except where lender makes referral to borrower, lender may make disclosure at time GFE is provided. (24 CFR 3500.15(b)(1)(i))
4. Good Faith Estimate (GFE), with Required Provider Disclosures	At least one applicant. It is sufficient to provide to one of the applicants. (See preamble to the publication of the current Regulation X, 57 Federal Register 49,600, 49,605 (11/2/92))	Within 3 days after application is received or prepared (24 CFR 3500.7(a) and (b))	GFE must be delivered or mailed to the loan applicant. Not required for open-end lines of credit if TILA disclosures made or if loan declined within 3 business days after broker’s receipt of application; application that does not identify property does not trigger GFE requirement.
5. Uniform Settlement Statements (HUD-1 or HUD-1A)	A single HUD-1 may be distributed to multiple borrowers in a single transaction (Final rule issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner, at 57 FR 49600 (at p. 13))	At or before closing, but must be available on borrower’s request at least one day before settlement. (24 CFR 3500.10(a) and (b))	Must be provided to borrower, seller (if applicable), lender (if not settlement agent), and their agents. If there is a borrower and seller, and HUD-1 or HUD-1A statements differ, both statements must be provided to lender.
6. Initial Escrow Account Statement	RESPA does not address. As this Statement may be incorporated into the HUD-1 or HUD-1A settlement statement, and only one settlement statement may be provided where multiple borrowers are involved, it would be reasonable to interpret RESPA as requiring Initial Escrow Statement to be provided to one borrower.	At closing or within 45 calendar days after closing (24 CFR 3500.17(g) and (h))	May be delivered by hand or by placing Statement in the U.S. mail, first-class postage prepaid, addressed to last known address of recipient. A servicer must provide initial escrow account statements substantially in the format prescribed in former Appendix G of Regulation X (see Appendix 2A).
7. Annual Escrow Statement – The servicer must also include previous year’s projection or initial escrow account statement. (24 CFR 3500.17(i))	RESPA does not address. Recommend providing at least one Statement to different addresses of borrower.	Not less than once each 12-month period and within 30 calendar days after the end of its escrow account computation year (which need not be a calendar year).	Regulation X authorizes the servicer to deliver the Annual Escrow Account statement to the borrower with other statements or materials, including the Substitute 1098 provided for federal income tax purposes.
8. Servicing Disclosure Statement and Applicant Acknowledgment (24 CFR 3500.21(b))	Face-To-Face Interview: One applicant may accept delivery on behalf of other applicants before settlement by signing required acknowledgment. No Face-To-Face Interview: Must be mailed, first-class postage prepaid. If co-applicants indicate the same address on their application, only one copy must be mailed to that address. If the application indicates different addresses for co-applicants, a copy must be mailed to each different address.	Face-To-Face Interview: At time of application (24 CFR 3500.21(c)(1)) No Face-To-Face Interview: Within 3 business days after receipt of application, unless application is declined during that period. (24 CFR 3500.21(c)(2))	Make sure to provide Statement before asking applicant(s) to sign lock-in agreement. (See Rochester Home Equity, Inc. v. Upton, 1 Misc.3d 412, 767 N.Y.S.2d 201, 2003 N.Y. Slip Op. 23842 N.Y.Sup, October 29, 2003, by the Supreme Court for Monroe County, New York)
9. Notice of Servicing Transfer (Goodbye Letter)	RESPA does not address. However, recommend follow delivery requirements for Servicing Disclosure Statement.	May be delivered at settlement or not less than 15 days before effective date of transfer (24 CFR 3500.21(d)(2)(i)(A)	Transferor and transferee servicers may combine their notices into one notice, which must be delivered not less than 15 days before effective date of transfer. (24 CFR 3500.21(d)(2)(i)(C))

Persons other than the creditor who provide applications to consumers for home equity plans must provide the brochure required under Section 226.5b(e) at time application is provided. If such persons have disclosures required under Section 226.5b(d), they shall also provide these disclosures at such time. Electronic communication may be used per Section 226.36.

Disclosures made at time of application need not be in a form that the consumer can keep.

The disclosures numbered 1 through 4 must precede the other home equity disclosures. (12 CFR 226.5b(a)(2))

b. More than 30 days after mailing or delivering initial disclosure statement: creditor must disclose that device or feature is for use under terms previously disclosed.	To any consumer who is primarily liable on account.	Before the consumer uses the feature or device for the first time.
2. Finance charge terms differ from those previously disclosed: Must disclose any finance charge disclosures required in initial disclosure statement that apply to added feature or device.	To any consumer who is primarily liable on account.	Before the consumer uses the feature or device for the first time.

Written notice of change in terms required to be disclosed under Section 226.6 or required minimum periodic payment is increased. (12 CFR 226.9(c))	Only to consumers who are affected by the change, and of those consumers, to any consumer who is primarily liable on the account. (12 CFR 226.5(d))	At least 15 days prior to effective date of change. (12 CFR 226.9(c)(1)	Disclosure delivered or mailed. 15-day requirement does not apply if change has been agreed to by consumer, or if periodic rate or other finance charge is increased because of consumer’s delinquency or default.
	A complete new set of initial disclosures containing the changed term complies with Section 226.9(c) if change is highlighted on disclosure statement, or if disclosure statement is accompanied by letter or some other insert that indicates or draws attention to term change.		Notice is not required for changes in late payment charges, charges for documentary evidence, or over-the-limit charges; a reduction of any component of a finance or other charge; suspension of future credit privileges or termination of an account or plan; or when change results from an agreement involving a court proceeding, or from consumer’s default or delinquency (other than increase in periodic rate or other finance charge).

Finance charge imposed by person other than card issuer at time of transaction. (12 CFR 226.9(d))

To any consumer who is primarily liable on the account, per 12 CFR 226.5(d)). However, common sense dictates that since disclosure may be given orally, it may be given to just those consumer(s) with whom the creditor is dealing before the transaction is made, if given orally, and to the consumer who is primarily liable, if in writing.

Prior to imposition of finance charge.

Disclosure may be given orally or in writing.

Notice of Right to Rescind (12 CFR 226.15)

Rescission right is held by each consumer whose ownership interest in consumer’s principal dwelling will be subject to security interest. Rescission right does not apply to non-resident consumer. If consumer rescinds, consumer is not liable for any amount, including finance charge. Rescission right extends to: each credit extension made under the plan; the plan when the plan is opened; a security interest when added or increased to secure an existing plan; and the increase when a credit limit on the plan is increased. The consumer does not have the right to rescind each credit extension made under the plan if such extension is made in accordance with a previously established credit limit for the plan.

Advertising (12 CFR 226.16)

Actually available terms (12 CFR 226.16(a)

If advertisement states specific credit terms, it must state only those terms that are actually or will be arranged or offered by the creditor. (12 CFR 226.16)

If terms required to be disclosed under 226.6 are set forth in an advertisement, the ad shall also clearly and conspicuously set forth the following:

1. Any minimum, fixed, transaction, activity or similar charge that could be imposed.

2. The APR, as determined under Section 226.14(b). If plan provides for variable periodic rate, that fact shall be disclosed.

3. Any membership or participation fee that could be imposed. (12 CFR 226.16(b))

The disclosures given per Section 226.5a do not constitute advertising terms for purposes of Section 226.16.

Catalogs or other multiple-page advertisements; electronic advertisements – if information is given in a table or schedule in sufficient detail to permit determination of the disclosures required by Section 226.16(b), it shall be considered a single ad if:

1. The table or schedule is conspicuously set forth; and

2. Any statement of terms set forth in Section 226.6 appearing elsewhere in the catalog or ad clearly refers to page or location where table or schedule begins.

There is compliance with Section 226.16(c) if table or schedule of terms includes all appropriate disclosures for a representative scale of amounts up to the level of more commonly sold higher-priced property or services offered.

Additional requirements for home equity plans: 1. Terms that require additional disclosures – if any terms required to be disclosed under Section 226.6(a) or (b) or the payment terms of the plan are set forth, affirmatively or negatively, in an advertisement for home equity plan subject to Section 226.5b, the advertisement shall also clearly and conspicuously set forth the following: Any loan fee that is a percentage of credit limit under the plan and an estimate of any other fees imposed for opening the plan, stated as a single dollar amount or a reasonable range. Any APR, as determined under Section 226.14(b). The maximum APR that may be imposed in a variable-rate plan. (12 CFR 226.16(d)(1))
2. Discounted and premium rates	If ad states an initial APR that is not based on the index and margin used to make later rate adjustments in a variable-rate plan, the ad shall also state the period of time such rate will be in effect and, with equal prominence to the initial rate, a reasonably current APR that would have been in effect using index and margin. (12 CFR 226.16(d)(2))
3. Balloon Payment	If ad contains a statement about any minimum periodic payment, the ad shall also state, if applicable, that a balloon payment may result. (12 CFR 226.16(d)(3))
4. Tax implications	An ad that states that any interest expense incurred under the home equity plan is or may be tax deductible may not be misleading. (12 CFR 226.16(d)(3))
5. Misleading Terms	An ad may not refer to a home equity plan as “free money” or contain a similarly misleading term.
