- 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.

- 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

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

Administration.

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.

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 (for example, seal
number, weight, length, etc) can now be entered.
- The Request for Transcript of Tax Return 4506T has been
enhanced.
- On the Document Data page, multiple options can be
selected on the document in section 6 Transcript
requested, section 7 Verification of
Nonfiling, and section 8 Form W-2, Form
1099 series, Form 1098 series, or Form 5498 series
transcript.
- In section 9, all four Year or period
requested fields are available for entry on
the document.
- What's New for Interfaces
- New Features
- There are no new features with this release.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- The Fannie Mae 3.2 interface was updated to import the Down
Payment Funds type of Gift Funds which eliminates the error
previously received.

subsequent submissions to the interface.
- For the ULDD interface, any liabilities set as Exclude or
Payoff will not be included in the calculation for the
debt-to-income ratio.

- What's New for ComplianceOne® mortgage
- Click to review What's new with the
Documents
- Click to review the Document 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.

- Click to review What's new with the
Documents
- Click to review the Document List
- 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.

Documents
- Click to review the Document List
- 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.
- What's New for Interfaces

- There are no new features with this release.
- Updates to Existing Functionality
- The Mortgagebot interface has been updated to pass
additional fields to ComplianceOne mortgage, including lien
priority, collateral county, application date, and occupancy
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 and
Client Code….” has been fixed.
- The ULDD interface has been updated to pass all 9 digits of
the postal code for the collateral location, when
provided.

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.

What's New for ComplianceOne® mortgage
- Click to review What's new with the
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 Close section
on the Closing Disclosure even when the fee amount was not
decreased.
- The Affidavit Section 22-NY document has been updated to identify costs
of improvement. When adding other charges outside of the predefined
list, itemize the fees and their amounts in the User Defined Cost
field and enter the sum of the user defined fees into the Amount of
Cost. On existing transactions, to enter costs of improvement
make a change to the collateral located in NY, save and go to the
Affidavit Section 22-NY document on the Document Data page.
- On the ARM Early Disclosure when there is a discounted initial rate the
amount the interest rate can increase is determined using the initial
rate instead of the market rate.
- The Consumer Note has been revised to allow an alternate version of this
document that excludes checkboxes and language based upon the specific
characteristics of the transaction. The alternate version of the
Consumer Note is available when Use the alternate version of the
document(s) where checkboxes and inapplicable content have been
removed. is selected within a Document Policy from
Administration.
- A signature line for the general contractor signer has been added to the
Builders and Mechanics Lien Contract (TX) document for construction
transactions ('Construction Only' or 'Construction and Permanent Note'
is selected on the Loan Definition page) with collateral located in
Texas. In the closing phase when you generate the Builders and Mechanics
Lien Contract (TX) document, on the Document Data page you can set your
general contractor to an entity (non-individual) and enter their name
and title.
- USDA has limitations on the use of loan proceeds. Lenders are
responsible for adhering to program requirements. As a result, the
existing USDA validation notice has been replaced with a new
notice.
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
