CFPB Asks For Public Comment to Determine the Effectiveness of TRID<\/h2>\n

In a November 22 Request for Information (RFI), the Bureau asked for public comments on the TRID Rule\u2019s effectiveness as it prepares an assessment report of the Rule that the Dodd-Frank Act requires to be publish within five years of its effective date. The TRID report must be completed by October 3, 2020, and public comments in response to the RFI are due by January 21, 2020.<\/p>\n

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is giving stakeholders another chance to weigh in with any remaining grievances over its TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule (TRID).<\/p>\n

The 2015 TRID rule (also known as the Know Before You Owe Rule) replaced the RESPA and Truth in Lending Act (TILA) disclosures consumers had received when applying for a mortgage loan. Specifically, it combined the Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and initial TILA disclosure to create a new Loan Estimate. It combined the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and final TILA disclosure to create a new Closing Disclosure. It required that the creditor provide the Loan Estimate to the consumer within three business days of receiving an application and the Closing Disclosure no later than three business days before closing. It changed who was responsible for disclosing title insurance premiums by making the creditor (rather than the settlement agent) ultimately responsible for providing the Closing Disclosure. Finally, it subjected a broader category of charges (such as charges by affiliates) to RESPA\u2019s \u201czero tolerance\u201d prohibition on cost increases over the disclosed estimates.<\/p>\n

The implementation process for TRID was complex, cumbersome, and costly for all segments of the home buying industry. The CFPB\u2019s guidance often was vague, and many found the Rule\u2019s requirements to be overly restrictive, confusing, and unnecessary. The Bureau tried to address some of these concerns in July 2017 and April 2018 amendments and updated its guidance in January 2019 to clarify the roles and responsibilities of various parties during the loan origination process.<\/p>\n

The CFPB says in its new Request for Information that its assessment of the TRID Rule will involve cost-benefit analysis, with a focus on the Rule\u2019s effects on consumers, firms, and mortgage origination markets.
It specifically asks the following questions:<\/p>\n
