CFPB Takes Another Stab at Refining Mortgage Disclosures
October 24, 2011
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau last week began testing a revised design of its integrated consumer mortgage disclosure prototypes with consumers and industry in the Albuquerque, NM, area, the agency revealed. The latest pair, dubbed Pinyon and Yucca, represent a fixed‐rate and an adjustable‐rate mortgage, respectively. Both forms include sections on loan terms, projected payments, closing costs, calculating settlement costs, calculating cash to close, comparisons, other considerations and verify receipt. But the Yucca version adds an adjustable interest rate table.
