,Section A - Federal Mortgage-related LAWS

Q1.
A lender provides a borrower with a Loan Estimate that shows an APR of 4.5% and a total
interest percentage (TIP) of 50%. Three days later, the lender discovers that the borrower's
credit score was incorrectly reported, leading to a lower APR. The corrected APR is 4.75%.
Which of the following actions is required under TRID?


A. No action required because the change is B. Issue a corrected Loan Estimate within
less than 0.25% three business days of discovery

C. Provide a revised Loan Estimate only if D. Redeliver the Loan Estimate with the
the borrower requests it corrected APR before closing
Correct: B - Issue a corrected Loan Estimate within three business days of discovery


Rationale:Under TRID, if there is a change in the APR that increases by more than 0.125%
(for fixed-rate loans), a revised Loan Estimate must be provided within three business days of
the event causing the change. Here, the APR increased by 0.25%, exceeding the tolerance,
so a corrected Loan Estimate is required.

Q2.
A mortgage loan originator (MLO) receives a referral fee from a real estate agent for
directing a borrower to the agent. The borrower was not informed of this arrangement.
Which of the following statements is correct under RESPA?


A. The fee is permissible if it is disclosed in B. The fee violates RESPA's anti-kickback
the Closing Disclosure provisions regardless of disclosure

C. The fee is allowed if it is a customary D. The fee is permissible if the real estate
practice in the area agent is also an MLO
Correct: B - The fee violates RESPA's anti-kickback provisions regardless of disclosure


Rationale:RESPA Section 8 prohibits kickbacks and unearned fees for referrals of settlement
services. Even if disclosed, such payments are illegal because they are not for services
actually rendered. The arrangement would subject both parties to penalties.

Q3.
Under the SAFE Act, which of the following individuals is required to be licensed as an
MLO?


A. A loan processor who performs clerical B. An employee of a federally insured
tasks under the direct supervision of a depository institution who only refinances
licensed MLO the institution's own loans

, Section A - Federal Mortgage-related LAWS



C. A real estate broker who negotiates loan D. A servicer who modifies loan terms as
terms with a borrower as part of a part of loss mitigation
transaction

Correct: C - A real estate broker who negotiates loan terms with a borrower as part of a
transaction


Rationale:The SAFE Act defines an MLO as someone who takes a residential mortgage loan
application and offers or negotiates terms. A real estate broker who negotiates loan terms is
performing MLO activities and must be licensed, unless exempt. Loan processors under
supervision are exempt; employees of insured depositories are exempt if only servicing;
servicers performing loss mitigation are exempt.

affecting the score not the score

C. The notice is not required if the borrower D. The notice must be provided only if the
does not request an explanation within 60 denial is based on credit history, not other
days factors
Correct: A - The notice must include the specific credit score used and the key factors
affecting the score


Rationale:Under ECOA and FCRA, an adverse action notice must include the credit score
used, the range of possible scores, the key factors that adversely affected the score (up to
four), and the name and address of the credit reporting agency. This ensures transparency
and allows the borrower to correct errors.

percentage points. Which of the following additional requirements applies?
