The list of supported fees has been updated to include the USDA Technology Fee. When the fee is selected, Section defaults to Services Borrower Cannot Shop For/Services Borrower Did Not Shop For and the Amount defaults to $25.00 for the ease of use purpose.

November 2019 | What's New Take Advantage of a Complimentary Quick Start to What’s New? Get up and running quickly with our overview of the ComplianceOne mortgage changes so you know what to expect in the new release. To access our on-demand, recorded, What's New tutorial, select: What's New in November. Note: Current and past What's New tutorials can be accessed from the Support Services website. Select Support Services Website and log in. Navigate to the ComplianceOne mortgage product page and select View All Product Training to access a complete list of tutorials including the What's New sessions. Additional Mortgage tutorials can be accessed from the Tutorial Videos section in Help. Click to review What's New with Docs Click to review the Document List Existing Functionality As part of the on-going URLA update project, the Demographics section on the Parties page has been updated to correspond to the new design of our Application page that will be released in the future with the revisions to the Uniform Residential Loan Application. Demographics will continue to be accessible from the same link on the Parties page but will no longer automatically display when creating a new party, adding a party to the transaction, or when importing a party to the transaction. In the October release as a part of the upcoming URLA feature, we suppressed the option to enter the Lender’s State License Number under Data Collection in Transaction Data. In response to customer feedback, we have now opened this option so it can be edited directly on the form(s). This change will remain effective until further changes are made to accommodate all customers' use cases for this option. The Other Expense option in the Liabilities section on the Financial Analysis page has been hidden until the Uniform Residential Loan Application is fully supported. The Credit Application Real Estate and Fannie Mae 1003 Freddie Mac 65 Universal Residential Loan Application documents do not have a designated field to capture the Other Expense option. On January 1, 2020 the USDA Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program will begin to assess and collect a fee (USDA Technology Fee) from lenders on each closed loan that was submitted via the Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS). The list of supported fees has been updated to include the USDA Technology Fee. When the fee is selected, Section defaults to 'Services Borrower Cannot Shop For'/'Services Borrower Did Not Shop For' and the Amount defaults to $25.00 for the ease of use purpose. The USDA Technology Fee prints on the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure documents if entered on the Calculations page. In an upcoming release, we will add the USDA Technology Fee to the fees Policies in Administration to assist you in presetting any additional fields. After the October release, users were unable to associate more than one mortgage or HELOC liability to a property located in the Real Estate Owned section of the Financial Analysis page. This impacted customers with access to the Loan Product Advisor (LPA), Desktop Underwriter (DU), and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Loan Delivery Dataset (ULDD) interfaces but did not impact any documents available within the Document Data or print pages. This issue has been corrected as part of the November release, and users can now associate more than one mortgage or HELOC liability. During internal testing, it was discovered that Co-applicants appear not to be retained after leaving the Parties page. This is strictly a display issue as all related documents will print accurately. What's New for Interfaces This release does not include updates to interfaces.

You can now define how post maturity interest will accrue in your Document Policy. Options of accruing on the same basis as before maturity, at a specific rate, or a user defined basis are available. Accruing on the same basis as before maturity will be the default selected within Administration. Review your document policies in Administration to determine if changes are needed based on your practices. For existing transactions, the selection you previously made in Document Data for Post Maturity will remain. 'Post Maturity Interest Rate', ‘There is a user defined method for post maturity interest accrual’, and ‘Post Maturity Other Description’ options will now default this information from document policy and continue to be available in the transaction if editing is needed.

Previously, Source of Down Payment was editable, and the down payment source description could be entered directly in the documents. Consequently, the existing Inhouse transaction, where Use Fannie Mae 1003 Freddie Mac 65 URLA is not selected under the Note section on the Document Data page, has been updated. If a value is entered in the Source of Down Payment in the Credit Application Real Estate or the Universal Credit Application Real Estate HMDA, the data from the Source of Down Payment will be transferred to Source Description with the Down Payment Type set to Other under the Source of Funds section on the Financial Analysis page.

Select Support Services Website and log in. Navigate to the ComplianceOne mortgage product page and select View All Product Training to access a complete list of tutorials including the What's New sessions. Additional Mortgage tutorials can be accessed from the Tutorial Videos section in Help. New Functionality You can now use Decision Tasks in your Vanceo Processes. Decision Tasks require task assignees to select a decision outcome before completing the task. A decision outcome is irreversible and typically leads a financial institution’s process down a different path. After a decision outcome is selected and confirmed, the task is denoted as completed . For Help information about this new function, select Decision Tasks. Please contact a Wolters Kluwer Administrator if you want to take advantage of this feature. Updates to Existing Functionality Per customer request, when a late charge appears in the Late Payment section of the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure that is an even percent, the zeros will now be truncated to match the model disclosures. Example: 5.000 percent will be 5 percent. An issue has been resolved where the Borrower-Paid At Closing column for Line 08 Aggregate Adjustment within section G. Initial Escrow Payment at Closing of the Closing Disclosure printed 0.00 when the Aggregate Adjustment was blank on the Calculations page or an Aggregate adjustment is not applicable (i.e. the escrow account was waived). When the Aggregate Adjustment is blank or the Property Costs section is not completed or not applicable, Line 08 Aggregate Adjustment will be blank on the Closing Disclosure. For existing transactions, review, calculate, and recreate the Closing Disclosure if necessary. The Estimated Escrow row in the Projected Payments table was inappropriately printing -- (dashes) in the Final Payment column on the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure for construction only, non-construction interest only and balloon loans where the escrow account was not set up or it was set up just for the purpose of adding the mortgage insurance. This has been resolved and 0 (for Loan Estimate)/0.00 (for Closing Disclosure) will print for the Estimated Escrow in the Projected Payments table instead of -- (dashes). These transaction types should be recalculated to get the correct value on the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure. What's New for Interfaces New Functionality Freddie Mac Loan Prospector renamed to Freddie Mac Loan Product Advisor Interface Freddie Mac renamed their Automated Underwriting System (AUS) from Loan Prospector to Loan Product Advisor when it became the cornerstone of the Freddie Mac Loan Advisor Suite®. Additionally, they completely redesigned the Loan Product Advisor Feedback Certificate to improve usability. With this release, we have taken the opportunity to improve the experience when interacting with Loan Product Advisor. For Help information, select Freddie Mac Loan Product Advisor. The following changes were made: Loan Prospector was renamed to Loan Product Advisor throughout ComplianceOne. Property Estimated Value and Appraised Value were removed in the Loan Product Advisor view as these values are being sent based on data entered on the Collateral view. This change allows Automated Collateral Evaluation (ACE) from Freddie Mac. A Verification Services section was added within the Loan Product Advisor view, allowing details to be entered about Asset and Income verifications performed external to ComplianceOne. Added a Source of Funds section within the Loan Product Advisor view so details can be entered about Down Payment sources. The new Freddie Mac Loan Product Advisor Feedback Certificate was added. Updates to Existing Functionality Previously, when HMDA applies was not selected on the Loan Definition page, and the transaction was imported using Mortgagebot, the selections for Hispanic or Latino and Not Hispanic or Latino on the Demographic page did not match the selections on Government Monitoring, Uniform Residential Loan Application, and Credit Application Real Estate and Uniform Credit Application Real Estate – HMDA (UCA-RE). This issue has been resolved. For existing transactions, review and recreate documents. The Secure Document Exchange interface now retains the proper time zone when delivering documents to Wolters Kluwer E-sign.
