One of the amendments to the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule (TRID 2.0) allows creditors to exclude recording fees and transfer taxes when determining if the total costs payable by the consumer are less than 1 percent for homebuyer assistance loans partially exempt under Regulation Z (see 12 CFR § 1026.3[h]). “Total Fees Paid By Borrower Percent of Loan Amount” (FI 101179) had been used in the past to trigger global data integrity checks for loans when “Second Lien Exempt from TRID” (FI 95221) is set to “Yes”.
The “Total Fees Paid By Borrower Percent of Loan Amount” field will continue to be used to trigger data integrity checks for TRID 1.0 loans and loans with application dates before October 1, 2018. For TRID 2.0 loans and loans with application dates on or after October 1, 2018, “Total Fees Paid By Borrower Minus Taxes and Other Government Fees Percent of Loan Amount” (FI 121945) will be used instead. Any logic that is in-place for these checks with the date of “10/3/2015” has been completely removed.
Once the edits are in place, the following Warning will display in ConformX if:
