The following describes key enhancements and important changes made to the product.

December 2016
What's New for ComplianceOne® assumptions
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 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 Loan Estimate will correctly display $0 in Section E. Taxes & 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. 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.

What's New for ComplianceOne® assumptions
New Functionality
  • Check out the Fees section on the Calculations page, it has been updated to allow you to edit 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 selecting Exclude from total for a real estate asset in the Real Estate Owned section impact the documents? in 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 in the Real Estate Owned section represent? in 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.
    • Assumption Fee
      • All Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac transactions when the collateral state is Nevada or Oklahoma.
      • In-House transactions when the collateral state is Nevada.
    • Attorney Fee
      • All Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac transactions when the collateral state is Delaware.
  • The transaction late charge details from the Late Charge policy now defaults to the transaction.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 the Deed Of Trust Closed End and Mortgage Close End documents which allows you to have different information between the credit application and your Deed of Trust or Mortgage.
  • We now support full Veteran’s Administration (VA) transactions. Additional VA documents have been added and can now be used. With the additional support of VA Assumption Ancillary documents, we have removed the notice "Only the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure are officially supported for an assumption at this time." Additionally, we have added a new validation notice to the program to address a known limitation for variable-rate FHA/VA assumptions loans (in the application phase only). This notice reads: “An ARM early disclosure may be required for this transaction; one is not currently provided." The FHA/VA Adjustable Rate Mortgage Disclosure will be updated in a future release.
October 2016
What's New for ComplianceOne® assumptions
Updates to Existing Functionality
  • The Source of Funds section is available on the Disbursements page when Type of Mortgage is In-house or VA. In addition, when Type of Mortgage is Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, In-house or VA and Use Fannie Mae 1003 Freddie Mac 65 URLA is selected on the Document Data page, the Source of Funds information from the Disbursements page will print in the Source of Down Payment, Settlement Charges, and/or Subordinate Financing field on the Fannie Mae 1003 Freddie Mac 65 Uniform Residential Loan Application.
  • There were instances that if the Worst Case Amortization Schedule button was selected and you went straight to view the Loan Estimate or Closing Disclosure without hitting calculate where the documents were printing data in the Total of Payments Over 5 Years section from the Worst Case Amortization Schedule. This is now corrected and you will not have to calculate before going to preview documents and the correct values will always print.
  • The Escrow Account Rolled Over on the Document Data page under the Note section has been removed. This is now set behind the scenes and will be true when Existing Escrow Account Transferred-No New Escrow is selected. Selecting this option will stop the Escrow Account Disclosure from being added to the document list.

What's New for ComplianceOne® assumptions
New Features
  • There are no new features with this release.
Updates to Existing Functionality
  • On the Loan Definition page, Loan is Assumable can now be defaulted based on the Document Policy applied at transaction time. Review your document policies in Administration to determine if changes are needed. For existing transactions, Loan is Assumable will display as previously checked or unchecked.

For additional information, refer to the question What is the purpose of the assumable option? in Help.
  • A new Modification Maturity Date field has been added to the Assumption Information section of the Calculations page. This field displays for use in an FHA or USDA transaction with mortgage insurance where the original transaction has been modified previous to the assumption. In these scenarios, the original Mortgage Insurance amounts need to remain as they were when calculated from the original maturity date, however the amortization schedule needs to be based off the Modified Maturity Date. Note: there may be instances where this new field will display and all criteria are not met for an FHA or USDA transaction, and in those cases, the Modified Maturity Date, even if entered, will not be used.
  • The Loan Officer address will now print in the Address row of the Lender column in the Contact Information table of the Closing Disclosure. The Loan Officer address is captured within Administration on the Contacts page and allows you to provide the location of the Loan Officer, if different from the organization address. It is recommended that you review the address entered in Administration for your Loan Officer contacts. If you wish to include the organization address in the Address row of the Lender column in the Contact Information table, the Loan Officer address should be removed from the Loan Officer contact in Administration. The Loan Officer address does not print to any other documents or used for any other purpose. For existing transactions, the organization address will continue to print unless you refresh a previously chosen Loan Officer or select a new Loan Officer on the Loan Definition page.

If left blank, the Address and City from the first piece of collateral will print.
  • On the Fannie Mae 1003 (URLA) or Universal Credit Application (UCA) documents, the best format to use for entering the ages of dependents is a whole number then a comma and a space before entering the next age (i.e. 8, 10, 12). An error was displayed when the dependent's ages were not in this format (for example, 8,10,12 or 8 10 12) and you performed an Ability to Repay (ATR) check.

04/05/2016
What's New for ComplianceOne® assumptions
New Features
  • USDA Assumption Mortgage now supported

    USDA assumption mortgages are now supported. When the qualifying criteria is met within the transaction, the USDA Mortgage Insurance Applies checkbox is available within the Mortgage Insurance section of Calculations. When this field is checked, the related USDA fields appear.

    Note that USDA-related mortgage insurance escrow is considered existing escrow, which is consistent with all types of mortgage insurance within assumptions functionality.

  • FHA with MIP

    MIP is now available for FHA loans in Assumptions.

    In order to calculate the mortgage insurance rate, the program must collect some additional origination information. Several new fields have been added to the Assumption Information section of Calculations: Loan Amount, Interest Rate, P&I are new fields to calculate premiums for MIP.

    In the Mortgage Insurance section of Calculations, we added several new fields to accommodate the FHA with MIP functionality. Number of months, Current MI payment, Override termination date, and upfront MIP factor were all added and are applicable to FHA assumptions transactions with MIP.

    MIP on FHA loans is considered existing escrow and is not considered a new escrow item. This behavior is consistent with all mortgage insurance for assumption transactions.

    Note that UFMIP is not available on assumptions transactions

    Assumptions FHA transactions may be either fixed rate or variable rate.

    • 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.

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 Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure page in Help.

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 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.'
  • 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? on 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.

02/16/2016 What's New for ComplianceOne® assumptions
  • 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. See the question 'What is Additional Parties Income Included?' on the Financial Analysis section of help for additional information.
  • 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.
