Block 1 fees CANNOT change, even with a changed circumstance
Exception: If the loan amount changes and a portion of the “Origination Charge” is a percentage of the loan amount or the overall loan program changes
Important Dates Section – must be updated to reflect any new information
41. Re-Disclosure Restrictions Lenders will be bound to fees disclosed on the initial GFE, except in certain situations where there are “changed circumstances” associated with a loan.
The definition of “changed circumstances”:
Changes or inaccuracies in information relating to the borrower or the transaction that was relied upon in providing the GFE
Changes to the loan amount or estimated value of the property
New information regarding the borrower or transaction not relied upon when the initial disclosure was provided
Acts of God, war or disaster
A lock event (locking the rate or expiration of the lock) or a change in the deal structure
If a changed circumstance occurs, only those fees affected by the changed circumstance may change.
If the estimates within the GFE are inaccurate but no change circumstance occurs, the lender is bound to the amounts shown on the last disclosed GFE
