- New Functionality
- There are no new features with this
release.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- The Housing Counseling Agencies Notice will
now be based on the postal code of the mailing
address. If the mailing address postal code is not
entered and Mailing Address is the same as
Physical Address is not selected, agencies
will not print on Housing Counseling Agencies
Notice. The Housing Counseling Agencies Notice
previously used the postal code of the physical
street address.
- On the Financial Analysis page, when a credit
report is pulled from an interface and the results
comes back with no credit score or a 0 credit
score, Score Not Available will be
selected. For existing transactions, review and
recreate documents if necessary.
- On the Financial Analysis page, changes made
to Liabilities are now saving. Previously, changes
made to Liabilities were not saving when the
transaction had a Real Estate Owned item where the
Property Status was not blank.
- On the collateral details page for collateral
located in New Mexico, you can choose to use a
Deed of Trust instead of a Mortgage and enter in
the Trustees. For collateral located in Idaho,
Montana and Washington you can choose to use a
Mortgage instead of a Deed of Trust. Previously,
these questions were asked on the Document Data
page.
- On the Calculations page under the Terms of
Loan section, when the amount of Prepaid Odd Days
Interest is negative, POC is no longer
available. For existing transactions with negative
Prepaid Odd Days Interest, POC will be
unselected.
- The calculations have been updated to
successfully calculate the transaction when the
Prepaid Odd Days Interest amount was originally
greater than the loan amount and the Funding Date
was changed. For example, if you inadvertently
entered a Funding Date of 07/01/1016, calculated,
and then changed the Funding Date to 07/01/2016,
previously the calculations would not
complete.
- On the Calculations page under the Fees
section, you can remove more than one fee at a
time. The first column is a checkbox used to
select which fees you would like to remove. The
column heading 'Remove' allows you to either
select or unselect all fees in the list. Only fees
added in the phase you are working in are allowed
to be removed. If you added fees during the
application phase, you cannot remove them while in
the closing phase. The checkboxes will be hidden
on fees that were created in a different phase or
are considered system-generated such as Prepaid
Interest or Mortgage Insurance. Once you have
selected a fee for removal the 'X' button will
appear next to the '+ Fee' button.
- A link to the online help has been added to
the Closing Disclosure page within a
transaction.
- The Product field that prints on the Loan
Estimate and Closing Disclosure has been updated
to no longer display trailing zeros for interest
only transactions. If there is a zero in the
hundredth place, that value will be truncated and
just the tenths place will print. Previously, if
the Number of Interest Payments was 31
payments, the Product field would display '2.50
Year Interest Only'. With this change, '2.5 Year
Interest Only' will now display.
- The Loan Estimate will correctly display $0 in
Section E. Taxes and Other Government Fees after
deleting all fees on the Calculations page. Prior
to the change, the fee total associated with
section E. Taxes and Other Government Fees would
still display on the Loan Estimate even after
being deleted.
- A phone number is now collected in
Administration on the Addresses page for an
alternate 'Payment Center' address and an
alternate 'Address to return the organization's
copy of the Mortgage Loan Commitment document'.
Once your policy administrator adds the phone
number you will see the phone number appear on the
documents. For existing transactions, refresh the
Organization data on the Loan Definition
page.

some of the fee details directly on that page
without having to go into each fee detail.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- On the Financial Analysis page under the Real
Estate Owned section:
- Exclude from Total has been added so
you can identify if a real estate owned asset
should be excluded from the totals that print on
the credit application documents. If selected the
real estate owned asset will not be included in
totals on the Financial Analysis page or in totals
on the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA)
and Universal Credit Application Real Estate
(UCA-RE) in the Schedule of Real Estate Owned
section. For additional information, refer to the
question: How does the Exclude column for a liability impact the documents? in the Financial Analysis section of Help.
- Property Status has been added so you
can identify the status of each real estate owned
asset. This was previously collected on the
Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) or
Universal Credit Application Real Estate (UCA-RE)
in the Asset – Real Estate section within the
Document Data page. The options are unchanged and
include: O, PS, S, and R. For additional
information, refer to the question: What do the Property Status options within the
Real Estate Owned section represent? in the
Financial Analysis section of Help.
- When in the closing phase, on the Fee Details
page the Paid By field no longer looks
read-only.
- On the Calculations page, we have corrected an
issue which prevented the ability to charge a
Trustee Fee, Assumption Fee, or Attorney Fee when
it was permitted by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or
state law. As a result, the ability to apply these
fees is now present on the Calculations page for
the following types of transactions:
- Trustee Fee
- All Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac transactions
when the collateral state is Maryland, North
Carolina, or District of Columbia. It was
previously only available for the Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac 3200 product.

when the collateral state is Delaware.
- In-house transactions where MLA applies and
the collateral state is Delaware.
- On the Calculations page, the Late Charge
section has been updated so that the late charge
policy information from Administration defaults
into the transaction. Prior to this change, only
the grace period was defaulting from
Administration.
- The Disbursements page has been updated to a
table format to prepare for future Uniform Closing
Dataset (UCD) changes. This new format is
applicable to all transactions.
- When doing an amortized balloon loan the
initial balloon payment in the $10,000 example
under How your Payment Can Change was showing the
incorrect value. The value shown was the payment
at the market rate. The initial balloon payment
now reflects the balloon payment based on the
initial rate.
- On In-House variable rate transactions where
the Initial Rate Subject to Floor is not
selected on the Calculations page, the language
‘The initial premium feature of this ARM program
is not taken into consideration in applying
interest rate limitations’ will no longer print in
the ‘How Your Payment Can Change' section of the
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Program. This was
previously printing in error.
- On the Agreement to Provide Insurance
document, Insurance Agency Name now saves.
Previously, the Insurance Agency Name would
not save if you viewed the collateral details page
after entering the information on the Document
Data page.
- Two signature lines, instead of one, are now
available on the Builders and Mechanics Lien
Contract-TX and Builder’s And Mechanic’s Lien
Contract With Right Of Rescission-TX documents for
construction transactions (Construction Only or

Loan Definition page) with collateral located in
Texas. In the closing phase, two Signer sections
are available within Document Data to complete the

General Contractor Signer Title.

have been added to the Consent-Architects Contract
Assignment document for Initial Construction

person signing on behalf of the entity and
The title of the person signing on behalf of
the entity.
- Two signature lines for the general contractor
signer have been added to the Consent-Construction
Contract Assignment document for Initial
Construction transactions. In the closing phase,

Title.
- The Manner Title Held has been added on
the Document Data page for the Fannie Mae 1003
Freddie Mac 65 Uniform Residential Loan
Application and Credit Application Real Estate
documents to complete the 'Manner in which Title
will be held' field. The Vesting Language
is still available on the Document Data page for

- New Features
- The product supports interest only
non-construction variable rate transactions.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- On the Loan Definition page under General
Information, Number of Tax Forms Requested
has been added for you to indicate how many tax
forms (1 through 7) you want available on the
Document Data page for purposes of generating the
Request for Transcript of Tax Return 4506T.
Previously, all transactions had seven tax forms
available on the Document Data page. Existing
transactions will have Number of Tax Forms
Requested set to ‘7’. For additional
information, refer to the question 'What is the
purpose of the Number of Tax Forms requested
option?' on the Loan Definition page in help.
- The Seller section on the collateral details
page has been updated to display when appropriate
in the closing phase. For additional information,
refer to the question When is the Sellers section on the Collateral Details page available in the closing phase of a transaction? on the Collateral page in help.
- Previously, if a problem occurred when loading
data in a table (such as Escrow or Liabilities),
you were redirected to the ‘Sorry page
unavailable’ error. Now, the error message
displays on the page in the area related to the
issue so you have more information about the
error. You will also be alerted to refresh the
page to have the most current information.
- Balloon transactions with a Final Balloon
Payment Amount defined, correctly disclose the
number of columns for the projected payments.
Previously, it was disclosing Year 1 and Final
Payment column headings. For existing
transactions, review, calculate and recreate the
documents if necessary.
- The following changes have been made for
transactions with fees Paid By Lender with
a Section of Taxes and Other Government
Fees.
- On the Loan Estimate, Lender Credits and Total
Closing Costs (J) have been updated to include
lender-paid charges disclosed in Section E. Taxes
and Other Government Fees, if applicable. Prior to
this change, lender-paid charges disclosed either
as Recording Fees and Other Taxes, or as Transfer
Taxes, were not included on the Lender Credits
line and Total Closing Costs (J), or the
corresponding values in Costs at Closing.
- On the Calculations page under the Comparison
of Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure Fees, the
Estimate Amount listed in Lender Credits that
Cannot Decrease now includes fees that are Paid
By Lender with a Section of Taxes and
Other Government Fees. Prior to this change, fees
that met the above criteria were not included in
the Estimate Amount which caused ‘Exceeded’ not to
appear under Tolerance when the fees
decreased.
- The Calculating Cash to Close table of the
Closing Disclosure will now correctly reflect a
decrease in Lender Credits (and the ‘Increase
exceeds legal limits by [amount of excess]’
statement) when fees Paid By Lender with a
Section of Taxes and Other Government Fees
decreased from the Loan Estimate to the Closing
Disclosure. Prior to this change, the ‘Increase
exceeds legal limits [amount of excess]’ bullet
was not present or was incorrect.
- On the Closing Disclosure, when ‘Settlement
service charge excess refunded’ is selected on the
Document Data page, the Costs at Closing and
Lender Credits line in Closing Cost Details will
now correctly include any excess for fees Paid
by Lender with a Section of Taxes and
Other Government Fees. Total Closing Costs (J)
(Borrower-Paid) will reflect the correct amount of
the refund for fees Paid by Lender with a
Section of Taxes and Other Government Fees.
Total Closing Costs (J) and Lender Credits in
Costs at Closing, as well as Cash to Close are now
correct.
- For existing transactions, review, calculate
and recreate the documents if necessary. For
additional information, refer to the question
What do the lender credits represent on the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure? on the Calculations/Loan Estimate and Closing
Disclosure page in help.
- If escrow items exist on the transaction and
the repayment method is changed to interest only
those escrow items and any system generated escrow
fees will be removed because escrow is not
supported on interest only transactions.
- On the Document Data page under the Section
section, for documents like Manufactured Housing
Title Application, Motor Vehicle Power of
Attorney, Motor Vehicle Notice Of Lien-FL, and
Power Of Attorney Titled Goods, when applicable,
Mobile Home (Personal Property Residence) data

List
- New Features
- Within Administration, you can setup a
calculations policy to default in Interest Only as
a repayment method. When this policy is used at
transaction time, it will only apply the Interest
Only repayment method for valid transaction types.
For example, on a construction with permanent
financing these settings would only apply to the
first phase of the transaction.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- We have updated the program so that notary
data no longer is missing on transactions that
originated in either ComplianceOne lending or ARTA
Lending and are transferred into ComplianceOne
mortgage.
- When a Liability Type of Other Housing
Expense is added to the Financial Analysis page,
the amount entered defaults to Other in the
Monthly Housing Expense section on the
Calculations page. Previously, even though the
Other value was not changed on the
Calculations page, any updates made on the
Financial Analysis page were not redefaulting to
the Calculations page. This has been fixed for new
transactions. Existing transactions will need to
be updated manually on the Calculations page any
time you change Other Housing Expense liabilities
on the Financial Analysis page.
- For transactions with a quarterly payment
frequency and PMI Applies, the Escrow
Account Disclosure was selected incorrectly and
the Escrow Account checkbox (will have an escrow
account) was selected incorrectly on the Closing
Disclosure. Both issues have been corrected. For
existing transactions, review, calculate and
recreate the documents if necessary.
- For Every Other Week fixed rate transactions
with Prepaid PMI, the Cancellation and
Termination Dates on the Private Mortgage
Insurance Disclosure were incorrect and have been
corrected. For existing transactions, review,
calculate and recreate the documents if
necessary.
- The amortization schedule for variable rate
transactions will now include the rate applicable
to each payment. Prior to this change the rate
change was reflected only on the payment on which
it occurred.
- For transactions with a Trust as a seller, the
Trustee Unique ID has been hidden on the
Document Data page to prevent data entry
errors.
- The functionality for the First Change field
in the Limits on Interest Rate Changes section of
the Adjustable Interest Rate (AIR) Table on the
Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure has been
updated for loans that have Periodic Rate
Caps set to 'Do not apply'. The value would
previously say 'unlimited' and will now show the
difference between the Ceiling and the Floor. If a
Floor was not entered, then the difference between
the Ceiling and the Margin will be used. For
existing transactions, review, calculate and
recreate the documents if necessary.
- Within the Document Data page on the Mortgage
and Deed of Trust documents the indicators for
triggering language in the Escrow for Taxes and
Insurance section Escrow Account
Established and Escrow Account Terms
Separate Document have been moved from the
Transaction Data section to the Collateral
section. This change was made so you can make
these determinations for each piece of collateral.
Existing transactions that had these indicators
set under Transaction Data will now see these
indicators set under Collateral for any real
estate collateral on the transaction.
- For Fannie Mae 3522, 3526 or 3528
transactions, the Margin prints as the
lowest rate that can apply within section (D)
Limits on Interest Rate Changes on the Note and
Rider documents. This change has been made in
accordance with the Selling Guide Announcement
SEL-2015-12.
- On the Document Data page, the Employee
Badge ID within the Current Employer and
Previous Employer sections on the Request for
Verification of Employment document is saving. The
document is selected within the Closing phase of
the transaction.

- New Features
- There are no new features with this
release.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- On the Financial Analysis page in the
Liabilities section, 'Ground Rent' and 'Leasehold
Payment' were added as liability types.
On the
Calculations page in the Monthly Housing Expenses
section, the Payment Amount entered for
Ground Rent and/or Leasehold Payment
liability types defaults to the Lease/Ground
Rent [L] line. The Payment Amount
entered for a Rent liability type no longer
defaults to the Lease/Ground Rent [L]
line.
- On the Financial Analysis page when you add a
liability, the Exclude checkbox has been
replaced with a list of options; 'blank',
'Exclude' and 'Exclude from Debt Ratio'. When the
'Exclude from Debt Ratio' option is selected the
Payment Amount and Outstanding
Balance will be excluded from the calculated
totals within the Liabilities section on the
Financial Analysis page and on the Uniform
Residential Loan Application. The individual
liabilities will still appear on page 2, section
VI Assets and Liabilities on the Uniform
Residential Loan Application without the amounts.
For additional information, refer to the question
How does the Exclude column for a liability impact the documents?? on the Financial Analysis page in help.
- On the Loan Definition page, under the General
Information section the Organization
Contact, Document Preparer, Document
Return to - UCC and Document Return to -
Mortgage/Deed of Trust have been updated to
refresh and display only the values associated to
the selected Organization. There was an
issue when you would change the organization,
scroll down to the General Information section and
hit refresh on one of the contacts and the list
would contain contacts from both organizations,
the newly selected organization and the original
organization.
- On a variable rate transaction with a
Payment Frequency of Every Other Week the
frequency for the initial rate hold term has been
updated so on documents such as the Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Program Disclosure the description
of the rate hold period for the variable rate will
now print 'two week period' instead of 'weeks'.
For example, if your Initial Rate Hold Term
is 12 payments, it will print as '12 two week
periods' instead of '24 weeks'. For existing
transactions, review, calculate and recreate
documents if necessary.
- On the Document Data page, within the Uniform
Underwriting and Transmittal Summary the option to
select ‘Base Income Not Include Overtime Bonus And
Commission’ was added. For additional information,
refer to the question How do I indicate that overtime, bonus, and commission income should be included as ‘Other Income’ on the Uniform Underwriting and Transmittal Summary within the III Underwriting Information section? on the Document Data/Document Specific page in
help.
- On the Document Data page, within the Uniform
Residential Loan Application document, you can
enter the Year Acquired under the ‘Complete
this line if construction or
construction-permanent loan’ or ‘Complete this
line if this is a refinance loan’ sections in the
yyyy format. Existing transactions with the
Uniform Residential Loan Application and either of
these two fields filled out will be updated with
the 4 digit year versus the full date
The same
sections on the Universal Credit Application Real
Estate document continue to require the Date
Collateral Acquired in a mm/dd/yyyy
format.
- A validation notice on the Print page has been
added to communicate when switching between the
application phase and the closing phase the only
data saved per phase would be the fees. The new
notice is 'With the exception of fees you added
using +Fee or by selecting a template, only the
most recent changes to the transaction data are
retained (e.g. loan amount, rates, dates, escrow)
regardless of which phase the data was modified
in.'
- For construction with permanent financing
transactions with a fixed rate in the construction
phase and variable rate in the permanent phase,
the following validation warning displays on the
Print page when appropriate: 'You have entered a
ceiling that is greater than the maximum possible
rate that can be reached on this transaction.'
This validation warning did not previously appear
for these transactions.
- For construction with permanent financing
transactions with a fixed rate in the construction
phase, a variable rate in the permanent phase, and
an interest only period not evenly divisible by
12, the month when the maximum payment would occur
was incorrect in the $10,000 example paragraph on
the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Program Disclosure.
This has been corrected.
- On the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Program
Disclosure in the $10,000 example paragraph, the
month the maximum payment would occur was
previously incorrect when generating the document
in the Closing Phase. Changes were made so the
month is correct.
- For Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac variable rate
transactions, the year when the maximum payment
would occur was incorrect in the $10,000 example
paragraph on the Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Disclosure. This has been corrected.
- When a refund for tolerance cure is provided
at the time the Closing Disclosure is issued for
transactions without sellers, Closing Costs
Financed (Paid From your Loan Amount) will no
longer print a negative amount when a negative
number results from the calculation used to
determine the maximum that can print in this
field. In these cases, $0 will print. For
additional information, refer to the question
How is Closing Costs Financed (Paid from your Loan Amount) determined? ion the Calculations/Loan Estimate and Closing
Disclosure page in help.
- On the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure,
we have corrected an issue with the mortgage
insurance amount in the Projected Payments table
where PMI termination was disclosed. Prior to the
change, in some situations, the mortgage insurance
amount was not the maximum amount corresponding to
the range of payments disclosed in the same
column. Affected transactions include variable
rate loans with declining PMI where, based on
informal guidance from the CFPB, a four-column
Projected Payments table is disclosed in cases
where the ceiling and the floor, along with the
minimum and maximum payments, are reached during
the initial period.
- What's New for Interfaces
- New Features
- When reissuing an existing credit report, the
credit interface allows you to identify if it
should be a 'Consumer' or 'Mortgage' pull.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- For any core interfaces passing escrow data,
an issue with passing the correct escrow payment
amount and payment date has been fixed. The amount
and date seen on the Calculations page under the
Escrow section will be passed to the core
interfaces.
- The ULDD interface has been updated to fix an
issue with the rounding on the Qualifying Income
Amount. The same rounding rules apply to the
Qualifying Income Amount and the Total Monthly
Income Amount.

- New Features
- There are no new features with this
release.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- On the Financial Analysis page when you add a
Monthly Income with a Type of Other the
Subject to Property Net Cash Flow checkbox
is no longer available. A new Monthly Income
Type called 'Subject Property Positive Cash
Flow' will be available instead. The amount
entered will appear in the Positive Cash Flow
fields on the 1008 Transmittal Summary and in the
Other Income fields on the 1003 URLA application
documents. Existing transactions that had a
Monthly Income with a Type of Other and the
Subject to Property Net Cash Flow selected
was converted to the new Monthly Income
Type 'Subject Property Positive Cash Flow'.
- On the Financial Analysis page, an option was
added to indicate that additional parties income
should be included in the total for qualifying
income on the Transmittal Summary.
- On the Loan Definition page the option of None
has been removed from Construction Type and
has been replaced with a blank option. Any
existing transactions where the Construction
Type was set to None will state that they have
been modified by the system because they have been
updated with the blank option.
- Transactions with odd days that have a 30/360
accrual and 30/360 first period accrual will show
a date range for the prepaid interest that
consists of the funding date as the beginning date
and the end date of the range being one period
prior to the first payment date. In order to see
these updated date ranges, you will need to go
into the transaction and calculate.
- The amount of the Non-Standard Monthly Payment
for the refinance non-standard to standard
exemption to the Ability to Repay requirements has
been updated to exclude fees where Collect
As is Add To Amount Requested and to exclude
the effect of odd days. For existing transactions,
review, calculate and rerun the ATR/HOEPA/HPML/QM
determination if necessary.
- When the Loan Estimate amount and the Final
amount for the Total Closing Costs (J) row of the
Calculating Cash to Close table on the Closing
Disclosure are different, the 'Did this change'
column will include ‘Total Loan Costs (D)’, ‘Total
Other Costs (I)’, or ‘Total Loan Costs (D) and
Total Other Costs (I)’ as needed based on the
section of the document where the change occurred,
no longer requiring you to complete this on the
Document Data page. To update this bullet on
Calculating Cash to Close on transactions created
prior to this change, click Calculate on the
Calculations page.
For example:
- When the Loan Estimate amount and the Final
amount for the Total Closing Costs (J) row of the
Calculating Cash to Close table on the Closing
Disclosure are different due to the aggregate
adjustment on an escrow account, the 'Did this
change' column includes the bullet 'See Total
Other Costs (I)'.
- For a transaction which includes an escrow
account with aggregate adjustment as well as
lender paid fees, the 'Did this change' column
includes the bullet 'See Total Other Costs (I)'.
Prior to this change, the bullet included 'See
Total Loan Costs (D)' and did not save the change
made on the Document Data page.
- The Estimate Amount listed in Taxes and Other
Government Fees that Cannot Increase within the
Comparison of Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure
Fees section of the Calculations page no longer
includes fees that are Paid By Borrower,
Seller, or Other with a Section of Taxes
and Other Government Fees, where Transfer Taxes
is selected and Payment Attributable to
Borrower is not selected. For fees that meet
the above criteria, the ‘Increase exceeds legal
limits’ bullet will now be included in the Cash to
Close section on the Closing Disclosure when
appropriate. Prior to this change, fees paid by
Borrower, Seller, or Other that had the above
criteria were included in the Estimate Amount,
causing these fees to be disclosed on the Closing
Disclosure but not the Loan Estimate. For
tolerance purposes, these fees should not be used
for the tolerance comparison since they did not
show up on the Loan Estimate.
- On the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Program
Disclosure and Uniform Residential Loan
Application documents, the Describes the
program being used for a variable rate loan
description is available for you to change the
default value.
- The Signature Name Affidavit document is now
available for a Borrower, Cosigner, Guarantor, and
Owner that is a Trust and you can enter up to two
alias names for each Trustee of the Trust on the
Document Data page.
- On the Document Data page, within the Uniform
Residential Loan Application and the Universal
Credit Application Real Estate documents under the
Declarations section, lines m (1) and m (2), you
can now select any combination of Ownership
Interest Type and Ownership Interest Title
Type.

- The Kroll Factual Data credit interface has
been updated, if you have separate client codes
for consumer credit pulls and mortgage credit
pulls, when pulling a consumer credit report for
the first time, an error “Access denied For Office

- The ULDD interface has been updated to pass
all 9 digits of the postal code for the collateral

Documents
- Click to review the Document
List
- The product supports construction with permanent financing
transactions with a fixed rate in the construction phase
and variable rate in the permanent phase. To enable this
type of transaction, within Administration on the
Calculations Policy page, Define interest rates
separately for each phase of a two phase loan
must be selected under the Loan Phases section.
- The product supports non-construction purchase money
transactions that result in Funds for Borrower greater
than $0.00 due to the Loan Amount exceeding the
disbursements (ex. Sales Price and any other
disbursements). See the Calculations section of help for
additional information.
- If income for two borrowers was included on the Financial
Analysis page, Monthly Income, Other and you moved from
the page and returned, an additional instance would be
duplicated in the Other section and this would be printed
on the URLA. This has been corrected and the duplication
no longer occurs.
- On purchase money transactions, the sum of the Sales
Price entered for each real estate collateral
and mobile home collateral is no longer automatically used
for the calculation of Down Payment/Funds from Borrower or
Funds for Borrower on the Loan Estimate. This was changed
to allow you more control over the Down Payment/Funds from
Borrower and Funds for Borrower calculations. You will be
expected to enter the sum of the Sales Prices
entered for each collateral,plus any other disbursements
that are not disclosed in total closing costs, into the
Total Existing Debt Being Satisfied in the
Cash to Close section on the Calculations page.
For
existing transactions, review/update the Cash to
Close section on the Calculations page, calculate,
and recreate documents, if necessary, to update the
Down Payment/Funds from Borrower and Funds for
Borrower calculations. See the Calculations section
of help for additional information on Down
Payment/Funds from Borrower, Funds for Borrower and
Total Existing Debt Being
Satisfied.
- For variable rate, every other week transactions, the
warning ‘Initial Rate Hold Term must be less than the
number of payments’ will no longer appear in cases where
it should not be.
- The Calculation Results are now provided for transactions
with quarterly interest only payments when the first
payment date is on May 30, 2016.
- The calculated value for prepaid interest when the days
between the funding date and the first payment date are
less than one period (that is, a short days scenario) is
now printing on the Loan Estimate and the Closing
Disclosure and is correctly factored into calculations.
For example, section F. Prepaids of the Loan Estimate and
the Closing Disclosure, as well as the Calculation Results
section on the Calculations page, now disclose the correct
amount of the short days interest. Prior to this change,
the Prepay Odd Days selection would not hold in this
scenario, and the transaction was calculated as if the
short days interest was not credited at closing. In order
to see these updates, existing transaction will need to be
recalculated.
- Within Administration and on the Fee Details page in a
transaction, the Lender's Title Insurance and Owner's
Title Insurance fees have been added to the list of fees
to choose from.
- On the Fee Details page, the Variance Type will have
the possible values of blank, 0% and 10% regardless if the
fee is added during the application or the closing phase.
There are two exceptions to this fees paid by the lender
and the Homeowner's Insurance fee will be set to blank and
read-only.
- Fees within the E. Taxes and Other Government Fees Other
Costs section of the Loan Estimate ending in exactly $.50
have been updated to round up and therefore the amounts in
J. TOTAL CLOSING COSTS and the amount in Total Closing
Costs (J) are now equal.
- It was noted that when a fee was set as 'Other' in Paid By
in Fee Details on the Calculations page, it was being
exported as paid by 'Lender.' It now exports properly as
paid by ‘Other’.
- The Loan Terms section of the Loan Estimate and the Closing
Disclosure has been updated to more closely follow the
requirements for disclosing subsequent adjustments in the
interest rate and periodic payment for variable rate
transactions.
Specifically, the Interest Rate and
[Periodic] Principal and Interest rows disclose
adjustments after consummation in the 'Can this
amount increase after Closing?' column. Subsequent
adjustments in the interest rate and periodic
payment are described using the phrase, 'Adjusts
every' (e.g., 'Adjusts every 3 years'). The
frequency description has been revised to use years,
months, or units more frequent than months, per
recent verbal, non-binding guidance from the CFPB.
Prior to this change, the product disclosed the
actual subsequent frequency for the transaction
(e.g., 'Adjusts every 36 months' for a loan with
monthly payments adjusting every 36 payments after
the initial change). Based on the clarification, the
rules for disclosing subsequent frequency have been
updated to convert the actual frequency into
appropriate units, as applicable (e.g., 'Adjusts
every 3 years' in the above example). This approach
more closely follows the Official Staff Commentary
to Regulation Z, which provides guidance for
disclosing adjustments after consummation. [12
C.F.R. §1026.37; Comments 37(b)(6)-1 and
37(b)(8)-1] For existing transactions, review,
calculate and recreate documents if
necessary.
- In transactions without sellers, on the Closing Disclosure,
when a refund for tolerance cure is provided at closing,
we are now correctly determining Closing Costs Financed
(Paid from your Loan Amount). Previously, the refund was
incorrectly double counted when determining the amount
that prints for Closing Costs Financed (Paid from your
Loan Amount). See the Calculations section of help for
additional information.
- The ‘Refinancing by a Different Lender or Origination of a
New Rescindable Loan’ version of the Notice of Right of
Rescission document is available on the Document Data page
when changing a refinance with same lender transaction to
a new transaction. Previously, the ‘For Refinance with
Original Creditor’ version of the Notice of Right of
Rescission was being incorrectly selected.
- On the Uniform Residential Loan Application and the
Universal Credit Application Real Estate documents, e.
Estimated prepaid items, f. Estimated closing costs, g.
PMI, MIP, Funding Fee, h. Discount (if Borrower/Applicant
will pay), k. Borrower's/Applicant's closing costs paid by
Seller and n. PMI, MIP, Funding Fee financed have been
opened up for you to change the default values.
- On the Verbal Verification of Employment document,
Employment Type saves when entered in the
Current Employer section.
What's New for Interfaces
- The product supports the Mortgagebot interface. You are able
to import a transaction that was started in Mortgagebot.
Fees are unable to be imported at this time, and will be
available in a future release. The interface is accessible
within the transaction by using the Import menu option
once it has been setup within Interface Manager. If you do
not have access to the interface please contact your
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services Account Executive for
more details.
- With the core interfaces, maximum and minimum late charge
amounts, whether negative amortization applies or not and
payment frequencies of quarterly and every other week now
populate correctly to the interface.
- On the credit interface, co-applicants will default as joint
credit lookups. You will have the ability to remove this
link if you do not want to do a joint lookup.
- The Loan Product Advisor interface has a section for
Borrower addresses. It will list the current and, if
available, prior address. Each address will be displayed
and you will be allowed to enter the Own/Rent/Living Rent
Free, Number of Years, and Number of Months.
- On the flood interface, Loan Number from the Loan
Definition page flows to the interface to be included on
the Standard Flood Hazard Form.
- The Section 32/HOEPA APR will now be correctly submitted for
purposes of the Section 32/HOEPA APR threshold
determination for fixed rate construction loans with
permanent financing. Prior to this change, this calculated
item was inadvertently not submitted or considered as part
of the HOEPA determination for these loans. Section 32
(Actual APR) on the report was 0.000% as a result, and any
difference (indicating whether the threshold has been
exceeded) was not being determined. Any existing loans
will need to be recalculated for the Section 32/HOEPA APR
value to be available, and to be considered in the HOEPA
threshold determination.

Documents
- Click to review the Document
List
- On the Loan Definition page, duplicate document policies are
no longer present. This was previously occurring when
there was more than one Document Policy in Administration
with the same name, one of those policies was used in a
template, and the template was selected in a
transaction.
- Within Administration you can set the Payment
Attributable To Borrower on fees to be used at
transaction time.
- When a fee is paid by the lender the Variance Type is
set to blank. If using a template with fees paid by the
lender and the Variance Type is other than blank,
the Variance Type chosen in the template will be
ignored and set to blank in the transaction. See the
Calculations help page for additional information.
- The Closing Amount listed in Lender Credits that Cannot
Decrease within the Comparison of Loan Estimate and
Closing Disclosure Fees section of the Calculations page
now includes fees that are Paid By Lender with a
Section of Taxes and Other Government Fees,
and Transfer Taxes and Payment Attributable to
Borrower are selected. Prior to this change,
fees paid by lender that had the above criteria were not
included in the Closing Amount, causing the Tolerance to
be Exceeded on the Calculations page and the ‘Increase
exceeds legal limits’ bullet to be included in the Cash to

Previous validation notice:
‘Your USDA Loan to Value ratio is greater than 100%.
The amount that can be financed in excess of the
allowable LTV can ONLY be attributed to an appraisal
fee, a tax service fee, and the initial contribution
to escrow.' New validation notice: ‘USDA
limits the use of loan proceeds to eligible purposes
and costs up to the maximum loan amount. Lender is
responsible for ensuring only eligible items have
been added to amount financed.’
