  • Non-disclosing referral fees to insurance and title companies;
  • Failure to issue necessary Notice papers - Notice of Rescind right, or PMI Cancellation guidelines;

  • Improper adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans disclosure - caps, possible monthly payment increase, ARM adjustment rate scenario missing;
  • Lender-paid undeclared compensation to the broker or mortgage originator.

Lenders are liable for TIL noncompliance errors.

Whether or not the borrower is harmed by T.I.L.A. non-compliant mortgage contract the lender will still be liable, unless they correct any omissions
