Study Notes

TRID (TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure) Rule Summary

  • TRID replaced previous dual disclosure requirements (RESPA and TILA) with integrated forms (Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure) for most federally related mortgage loans.
  • Effective October 3, 2015.
  • Designed to improve consumer understanding of loan terms.
  • Lenders are responsible for the accuracy of both the Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD). Settlement agents responsible only for Seller Closing Disclosure on purchase transactions.
  • Specific forms for refinance and purchase transactions.
  • Applies to most closed-end consumer credit transactions secured by real property or co-op unit.

Loan Estimate (LE)

  • Replaces the GFE and initial TILA disclosure.
  • Must be delivered/mailed within 3 business days of application receipt.
  • 6 pieces of specific application information needed (borrower info, income, SSN, property address, value estimate, loan amount)
  • Must contain good faith estimates of costs and terms
  • Provided in person, by mail, or electronically (with consumer consent).
  • Must be delivered at least 7 business days before consummation.
  • A seven-day waiting period can be modified or waived for a valid personal financial emergency that is addressed by closing sooner.
  • Specific "changed circumstances" allow for revision and resetting of tolerance limits.

Closing Disclosure (CD)

  • Replaces the final TILA disclosure and HUD-1 settlement statement.
  • Must be delivered no later than 3 business days before consummation.
  • Must include actual transaction terms and costs.
  • Received when provided in person (signed and dated), 3 business days after mailed, or upon delivery electronically.
  • Three-day waiting period before consummation can be modified or waived for a valid personal financial emergency.
  • Revised CD required if terms/costs change or if needed to correct errors.
  • A three-day period may be added if disclosures of APR, loan product, or prepayment penalties change.

TRID Terminology and Key Concepts

  • Annual Percentage Rate (APR): Includes all fees and expressed in percentage.
  • Total Interest Percentage (TIP): Calculates total interest over the life of the loan compared to the loan amount.
  • Loan Consummation: Legally distinct from loan closing. Occurs when the consumer is contractually obligated to the lender.
  • Business Day: Defined differently for LE (business-open day) and CD (weekdays but not Sunday or public holidays).
  • Intent to Proceed: Important for fees and credit card processing; a consumer's expression of intent to proceed must be recorded by the lender.
  • Changed Circumstances: A particular event beyond either party's control or unexpected events specific to the consumer or loan.
  • Tolerance Categories: Allow for some variance between estimated and actual costs. Zero Tolerance applies to specific lender charges, 10% tolerance for aggregate costs (with change-of-circumstances requirements for greater variances).

Additional TRID Requirements & Considerations

  • Loan Estimate Form: Three-page format, with breakdown of closing costs, and other loan terms
  • Closing Disclosure Form: Five-page format, very similar to the Loan Estimate but with more detailed information including a breakdown of seller and other payments.
  • The "Your Home Loan Toolkit" booklet replaces the HUD Special Information booklet.
  • Affiliated Business Disclosure: If affiliated with settlement service providers, it must be disclosed.
  • Initial Escrow Account Statement & Annual Escrow Account Statement: For monthly tax & insurance escrow accounts required by the loan terms.
  • Appraisal Requirements: Lenders must provide a copy of appraisals within a certain period, usually 3 days before loan closes.

Exceptions and Non-Applicability

  • HELOCs, reverse mortgages, chattel-dwelling loans, loans by non-creditors or with certain exceptions. These generally are not fully subject to TRID requirements, some may have provisions regarding TRID.
