What's New 2023

Updated the Lender Credits to adhere to UCD Phase 3B critical edits data requirements in regard to expected values of the Lender Credit Tolerance Cure Amount submitted on the transaction.

Modified the LenderCreditToleranceCureAmount data point processing rules and data mapping to map to a value of 0.00. This addresses the requirement that the Lender Credit Tolerance Cure Amount must be provided in the transaction when a Lender Credits exist and the value is not $0 (zero). If this conditions are not met on the submitted UCD file, a critical warning CRIT0093 (Freddie Mac) or code 3656 (Fannie Mae) is thrown.

Updated the Desktop Underwriter feature to now utilize the most recent version of the Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) Underwriting Findings report as published by Fannie Mae. The Desktop Underwriter interface has been update to return a 64-bit encrypted ZIP file containing a PDF of the enhanced HTML report. Per Fannie Mae, the DU Underwriting Findings report summarizes the overall underwriting recommendation and eligibility component of the loan casefile and lists steps necessary for the lender to complete the processing of the loan file.

Corrected an issue that caused the collateral (property) owner date of birth (DOB) to not be included in data submitted to OneSumX CDD as expected. On the Customer Due Diligence page, a Collateral Owner Date of Birth field was added to ensure the collection of the date of birth and subsequent inclusion in the data submitted to OneSumX CDD.

Modified the administration module to enable the collection of middle name values on the Contacts and Organization Details pages. With this enhancement, the middle name of a loan officer and any contact will print in transactions including the Deed of Trust Notary section and application, loan definition, and collateral pages. For existing transactions, you must refresh the contact page after adding a middle name to ensure the middle name is included in the transaction.

Corrected a defect on the Loan Definition and Template Loan Definition pages that prevented an empty (blank) value in the Policy Group drop-down list from being saved. Previously, when a policy group had a value selected, you could not change and save the Policy Group as blank.

Corrected an issue that caused the document generation process to fail when using the Create Documents option on the Print page. The error when generating documents is due to conflicts with barcodes, when enabled, in the organization configuration. The issue is a defect and not a result of any configuration or user-defined settings.

Corrected an issue that caused the file download feature in the Fannie Mae Version 3.4 Exports interface (also known as MISMO 3.4 exports) to fail. The issue was resolved by modifying the download feature in the interface to adhere to all security protocols related to enabling file downloads.

Resolved an issue that caused mortgage transaction exports to fail when processed through a Core Interface. The issue was related to how special symbols are handled when included in a transaction. When a transaction contains a special symbol, such as the ampersand symbol [&}, the transformation fails.

Removed the 11th District FHLB Cost of Funds index option. The index is discontinued and no longer available in Administration or as an option on the Calculations page for new transactions. The index, if selected, remains valid and is used on existing transactions.

The 11th District FHLB Cost of Funds index option was removed as an option from the list of supported indexes in Administration and the Index Name lists on the Calculations page, in templates, and on the Variable Policies in the Administration. On the Calculations page, a informational message was added indicating the index is no longer supported in cases where an existing policy or template is applied to a new transaction.

Corrected an issue that prevented non-escrowed property items from displaying on the Estimates Taxes, Insurance & Assessments section in the Loan Estimate. This issue occurs in cases where a transaction is imported through a template. The processing logic was updated to account for transaction data imported through templates.

Corrected an issue that prevented the Source filter from being available on Transaction pages. The Source filter option shows the source of the loan inquiry and can be used to search, sort, and filter loan information on the Lending Page. In the source column, loans imported through the Mortgagebot interface are shown as MB 3.4, Fannie Mae version 3.2 as FNMA 3.2, standard import interface as STD 3.1, and the online application is shown as OLA.

Corrected an issue that caused the status and calculated fee amounts to display inaccurate values on the Closing Phase Fees section. The status field on the Closing Phase Fee section was incorrectly indicating a Changed status in cases where no changes were applied and certain calculated fee amounts (Calculated Amt values) were not properly reflected on the Fee section.

Corrected an issue that allowed buydown options to appear as an editable option on the Notes section in the Document Data page. Prior to this correction, the Temporary Interest Rate Buydown option was available for editing.

Corrected an issue that caused the Housing Counseling Agencies Notice to fail to display results for the 71051 ZIP Code when entered on the collateral for parties on the transaction. The expected result is that 10 closest housing counselors to the ZIP Code are returned.

Corrected an issue that caused email notifications, based on user-defined settings and preferences, to not be delivered correctly. The issue was specific to cases where a CASH Suite customer attempted to registered with Vanceo.

Updated the Online Application and Document Upload solutions to allow configuration of file types that can be uploaded as file attachments. Contact SupportLine for assistance configuring supported file types.

The CBC Innovis Credit Reporting credit service, also known as the Kroll Factual Data credit service, has been changed to Factual Data by CBC in ComplianceOne and Vanceo Mortgage. All references to the CBC Innovis Credit Reporting interface have been replaced by Factual Data by CBC. This is the result of a brand unification effort by CBC Innovis and the Kroll Factual Data credit bureaus under the Factual Data brand name. Customers of this service have been migrated to use the Factual Data by CBC interface.

Corrected an issue that caused the Variance Type on the Calculations > Fee Details panel to incorrectly indicate 0% when the paid to/paid by is set to Lender. This leads to the associated fee being improperly identified on the Closing Disclosure document as Paid By Lender and Lender Credit. The expected behavior is that the Variance Type updates to a blank value and is a non-editable field.

Corrected an issue where the Refresh button in the Settlement Agent Contact list (on the Loan Definition page) was not displayed properly and prevented the selection of a settlement agent from the list of options.

Fixed an issue that casued the Calculations page to not display when opened.

Enabled the selection of Cosigner and Guarantor options for all transactions associated with the Military Lending Act (MLA) to comply with requirements of the legislation.

Updated the integration model for Finastra Fusion Originate Mortgagebot. This updated integration establishes a seamless process to import loan information from the Mortgagebot loan origination solution directly into ComplianceOne using the Mortgagebot Interface feature in ComplianceOne. This model supports the MISMO® Industry Loan Application Dataset (iLAD) specification.

Modified the application to remove the General Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule type for new transactions. The option to select the General QM on the Loan Definition page is no longer available and policies were updated to now use the Revised General QM option. The General QM option remains valid on existing transactions, however, if an existing transaction is refreshed the value will be reset to the Revised General rule. The General QM option is no longer available on the Administration > Loan Definition Policies Type, the Loan Definition page, Policies page, or templates.

Enabled electronic signature on the Authorization to Release SSN Verification (SSA-89). To support the Social Security Administration (SSA) electronic signature requirements, an option to self-identify as a permitted entity for the electronic Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (eCBSV) service is now available in the Organization Settings pane in the Organization Information page.

The Authorization To Release SSN Verification can be signed by a borrower, cosigner, and an authorized representative who will be signing on behalf of the SSN holder. The name of the authorized representative can be entered in the SSA Signer Name field on the Document Data page.

Enhanced the Lending Home Page to include the ability to filter data based on the loan source. The Source filter option shows the source of the loan inquiry and can be used to search, sort, and filter loan information on the Lending Page. In the source column, loans imported through the Mortgagebot interface are shown as MB 3.4, Fannie Mae version 3.2 as FNMA 3.2, standard import interface as STD 3.1, and the online application is shown as OLA.

Corrected an issue where real estate brokers, entered as contacts in Administration, were not available in the Buyer's Real Estate Broker/Seller's Real Estate Broker drop-down lists on the Collateral page of a transaction. The issue would occur when the list of contacts exceeded 10 contacts. The issue was resolved and all entries from the Administration contact list now are available for selection in the Collateral Details page.

Corrected an issue where changes to a process (for example, removing a process and replacing it with another) on a loan transaction did not properly save to the Loan Definition page on the transaction. This issue occurs as the process changes are not displayed in the Loan Definition page properly when the changes are saved.

Corrected an issue where updated escrow amounts on the closing phase are not properly updated to the Fees and Charges Detail section on the Loan Information Report. The report is included in the closing phase when the Include the Loan Information Report option is selected on the Document Data tab.

Corrected an issue preventing constructions costs and the calculated construction holdback values from updating throughout the system. The construction holdback amount will immediately update on the Disbursements and Closing Disclosure pages when construction costs change. This prints on the Closing Disclosure document.

Corrected an issue where the total amount of fees from the Services Borrower Can Shop For fees did not correctly print on the Loan Estimate or Loan Estimate Addendum. The section, Services Borrower Can Shop For, allows you to enter fees that are then included on the Loan Estimate and Loan Estimate Addendum. When the number of fees exceeded 13 individual fees, the total was incorrectly printed a 0 (zero) on the forms.

Corrected an issue where the Trustee Fee was not properly printing in cases where the transaction included multiple properties. To enable the fee on multiple collateral, the Trustee Fee setting was moved to the Collateral Details page and is available for each collateral item. With this change, the Trustee Fee is available on the Calculations page if the property is located in DC, MD, or NC.

Added validation to the date fields on the Calculations page to require a four-digit year (DD/MM/YYYY) on the Funding Date, Note Date, First Payment Date, and Closing Date fields in the loan terms section. If the year value on a date is not entered as a four-digit number, an invalid date warning message is shown on the page. The allowed date range is 01/01/1836 to 12/31/2500 and the year must contain 4-digits. These dates are printed on the Closing Disclosure and certain other notes.

Modified the Application page to permit changing the type of collateral on an existing collateral. You can now edit the existing collateral and simply select a different collateral option in the Collateral Type drop-down list. You no longer need to remove the existing collateral entry and create a new collateral entry.

Modified how product loan information on the Closing Disclosure and Loan Estimate is displayed for single payment loans with a term of less than 24 months.

In cases where a borrower had multiple employment lines on the Employment and Income section of the Party page, the employment monthly income amount calculation included only the first and last entry.

Corrected an issue where only one party was included in the Settlors signature section when multiple parties had been designated as Trustor(s). Now, all parties designated as Trustor(s) are available.

A hotfix to the CBCInnovis/Factual Data credit reporting service was introduced on June 22, 2023.

Revised the URLA and RCA documents to print individual income items in the Gross Monthly Income tables for self-employed parties. On the documents, the Current Employment/Self-Employment and Income section (Section 1b/1c) prints individual income categories and includes them in the total calculation (these include base, overtime, bonus, commission, and other incomes) when the party is defined as a Business Owner or Self-Employed with an ownership share of less than 25% for either current or previous employment on the Employment Information page. The revision also disables the Military Entitlements gross monthly income option and sets the value to 0.00 for purposes of income calculations.

Revised the Automatic Transfer Authorization Plain Language document to establish a common source for the account number. The account number previously was associated with two unique data points in the schema; this change establishes a common data point for the Account Number for Payment Withdraw on the Automatic Transfer Authorization Plain Language document as: /Txn/Notes/Note/AutomaticWithdrawalDepositAccountIdentifier.

Revised the Agreement To Provide Insurance document to 1) add a new section, Proof of Coverage, below the Additional Terms section, 2) update the alternative address, Evidence of Insurance, to include an Entity Name field that will print on the proof of coverage (if the alternative address is not included, the organization information is printed), 3) updated the Applicable Law State section to only print when the organization jurisdiction is NY or CA and, 4) changed the Status section to no longer print checkboxes.

Corrected an issue preventing the Flood option from appearing on the action menu in the Application page.

Revised the late fee language presented on Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD) forms.
