Study Notes

Allowable APR Changes under TRID

  • TRID (Truth in Lending Act) regulations govern changes in Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for federally regulated loan products.
  • The rules are multifaceted and pertain to specific situations, typically revolving around loan modifications or adjustments.

Loan Modifications and APR Adjustments

  • Changes in APR are generally allowable under TRID if they fall within specific parameters intended to prevent deceptive practices.
  • Specific circumstances permit APR changes without violation of TRID, including but not limited to:
    • Pre-existing provisions in the loan agreement allowing modifications.
    • Changes due to market conditions that affect the cost of funds (e.g., shifts in interest rates).
    • Modifications based on a change in risk assessment that justify adjusting the APR.
    • Adjustments to account for updated fees, such as an increase related to insurance or other mandatory service charges, or a decrease if applicable.
    • Adjustments to reflect a different loan term length.

Prohibited APR Changes

  • TRID prohibits changes to APR for certain reasons.
  • Actions not allowed include instances of:
    • Arbitrary or capricious actions by the lender to increase the APR.
    • Changes in APR unrelated to valid or contractual reasons. This includes actions not supported by market changes or justifiable risk adjustments.
    • Changes based on discriminatory practices.
    • Changes based on inaccurate or misleading representations made during the loan origination process or application.
    • Changes that misrepresent the true cost of borrowing.
  • Any alterations must be consistently supported by the documentation and transparent communications between lender and borrower compliant with TRID's regulations.

Documentation and Transparency Requirements

  • Any APR change must be properly documented and disclosed to the borrower in accordance with TRID disclosure requirements.
  • Clear and comprehensive communication is a critical aspect of compliance, ensuring customers understand the reasons behind the change and its impact.
  • The documentation must explain the rationale for adjusting the APR.
  • This involves detailed explanations rooted in accurate market analysis and verifiable financial data as to why adjustment is permitted.
  • The written notification must be provided to the borrower at the appropriate stage as defined by TRID guidance.

Applicability Limits

  • The requirements and conditions around allowable changes to APR depend on the specific type of loan product (e.g., mortgage, home equity).
  • The specific provisions may vary based on the jurisdiction and other applicable laws beyond TRID.
