  • Assumptions Conditions Display Errors

    Corrected an issue on the Assumption Conditions page that caused various display and pagination errors when adding and importing conditions from the Admin page. The display of conditions would appear out of order, include blank lines (rows) or not show any pagination or navigation options.

  • Tolerance Cure Amounts on Disbursements Fail to Update After Calculation Changes

    Corrected an issue that caused updates to the tolerance cure amount applied on the Calculations page to not update the corresponding value on the Disbursements page. The Amount Credited to me by Lender for refund or cure field on the Disbursements page is drawn from the Tolerance Cure Amount on the Calculations page as a default value so that the values match on both pages when first entered. If the value is updated, then the default value is overridden by the newly entered value and the two values are no longer tied. This issue was resolved by ensuring that updated values on the Amount Credited to me by Lender for refund or cure field no longer act as default values.

  • OneSumX Customer Due Diligence Account Recovery Option Updated

    Updated the Forgot User Name/Password account recovery option on the OneSumX Customer Due Diligence Interface login screen to direct to the recovery page.

  • SettlementOne Credit Service Interface Error with Party Aliases

    Corrected an issue that caused an "interface unavailable" error when pulling credit on a party that contains alias information using the SettlementOne Credit Service Interface. The solution now permits the issue and reissue of credit reports for parties that contain alias information (an Alias name).

Changes
  • Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) Export Error

    Corrected an issue that caused an error when exporting files using the Fannie Mae 3.4 Export feature. The issue occurs in cases where the HUD-Agencies related Homeownership Education or Housing Counseling options are set to YES and the agency ID or name is not present on the application page.

  • Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) Export Mapping of Cent Values

    Updated how amounts that include zero cents (.00) are submitted on the export file for the MISMO V3.4 format. Previously, when the cents value was ".00" (5000.00) the cents were excluded from the exported data. With this change, the cents value (".00" up to ".99") is included in the exported data. This changed impacted approximately 68 fields, such as PropertyValuationAmount, with the data point (DU data point) format of "Amount 9.2". Amounts entered in the "Amount 9.2" format are defined as including up to 9 numbers preceding the decimal and 2 digits following the decimal (000000000.00).

  • Calculation Page Mortgage Insurance Information

    Corrected an issue on the Calculation page that resulted in the inconsistent display of information on the Mortgage Insurance section of the page, particularly when navigating between different sections on the page.

    Introducing the availability of two new standard documents in support of the Reconsideration of Value (ROV) requirements announced by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and HUD.

  • Disbursement Authorization Calculations

    Modified the field logic for calculating the Amount Given to Borrower result on the Disbursements page. The logic was changed so that an amount entered on the Amount Credited to me by Lender for refund or cure line matches the disbursement calculations on the Calculations page and the refund or cure amount is not subtracted from the Remaining Amount to Disburse line. The result of this calculation is displayed on the Amount Given to Borrow line and is included on the Disbursement Authorization document.

Changes
  • Incorrect Flood Determination Setting

    Corrected an issue in the LERETA Flood Determination service where the Flood Hazard Area setting, when selected (indicating the collateral property was in a designated flood zone), was inadvertently cleared when the collateral details were saved. The Flood Hazard Zone setting now retains the selected value when the collateral details are saved.

    The flood hazard area setting should change only if a new flood determination is requested or if the Flood Hazard Area checkbox is cleared in the Document Data screen.

  • Added Phone Number to Payoff Notification or Financial Information Release

    Added an option to include a phone number on the Payoff Notification or Financial Information Release Alternative Address option in Administration. The option previously did not include a phone number field and as a result the Authorization for Payoff form printed with a blank value on the form.

  • Increased Default Contact Display Limits

    Increased the number of default contacts available for an organization from 100 to 300 contacts. The Default Contact drop-down list on the Organizations pages in Administration now will display up to 300 contacts.

  • Incorrect Credit Amount on Lender Credit

    Corrected an issue that caused a discrepancy in the cash to/from borrower amount between the Desktop Underwriter service and the Calculations page. The error occurred only generalized lender credits were present in the data submitted to the Desktop Underwriter service.

    Enhanced the application to create more readable documents when printing a page (both print to paper or PDF). The common.css style sheets was modified to include an @media CSS at rule.

May 2 2024 Hotfix

Changes

There is an issue with the Note Consumer where redundant fee information is printing in the Additional Charges area. On May 2, 2024, Wolters Kluwer intends to roll back to the prior version of the Note Consumer document to correct this. Until the roll back is complete lenders may wish to strike through the redundant fees that appear in the Additional Charges with an ink pen after printing the document.

After this roll back, the following previously introduced functionality will also be removed from the Note Consumer document and will not print the following:

  • The Additional Charges section will not print redundant fee information.
  • The Agreements in Writing for Oregon section will not print.
  • The Term and Rate of Interest for Rhode Island section will not print.
  • The Loan Secured by Motor Vehicle or Vessel for Washington section will not print.
  • The Loan Secured by Purchase Money Mobile Home Notice to Consumer for Texas section will not print.
  • The Balloon Payment Notice for New York section will not print.
  • The Discounted/Premium Rate subsection will not print after the Variable Rate subsection in the Interest and Other Charges section for variable rate transactions.

  • Disbursement Authorization Now Prints Refund Amounts

    Modified the Disbursements page to include a new row displaying the refund amount (for example, a TRID tolerance cure amount) in the Disbursement Authorization section. The refund amount prints to the Disbursement Authorization document in the Amount Credited to me by Lender for refund or cure section. With this change, the previously displayed message and excess fee amount in the comments section of the Disbursement Authorization document was removed.

Changes
  • Enhanced Messaging around Calculation Policy(s) on Print Pages

    Modified messaging rules supporting ceiling rate calculations to display a warning message on the Print page if the last day of the month is set as the First Payment Date and the If the first payment is due on the last day of the month, make all subsequent payments occur on the last day of the month calculations option is not selected in the Mortgage Calculations policy.

    This modification, while primarily applicable to variable-rate loans, is displayed on variable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans. In cases where this scenario occurs in a fixed-rate loan, a possible workaround is to set the override option, Enter a description to override the reported validation message, on the Print page before generating documents.
    Note:
    The override option is available to users granted the Override Transaction Validation Warnings in Application Phase/Closing Phase permissions.
  • Certain Demographic Information Not Showing on the Parties Demographic Page

    Corrected an issue that caused the Collected on the Basis of Visual Observation or Surname information collected on the Demographic Information section to not appear on the Parties - Demographic page as expected.
