CFPB Issues Addendum to TRID

On Wednesday, February 10, 2015, the CFPB published a notice in the Federal Register to correct a typo regarding tolerances for property taxes and certain other property-related costs.  The error was found in the “Supplementary Information” to the TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure rule. According to the CFPB’s addendum, the supplementary information to the TILA-RESPA Final Rule, which was released in 2013, contained a typographical error.

 

The CFPB’s addendum stated the error, listing the fees as “subject to tolerances,” is inconsistent with the sentence preceding it, which reads: “Property insurance premiums are included in the category of settlement charges not subject to a tolerance, whether or not the insurance provider is a lender affiliate.” The CFPB addendum states several lines will be revised from “are subject to tolerances whether or not they are placed into an escrow, impound, reserve, or similar account” to read “are not subject to tolerances whether or not they are placed into an escrow, impound, reserve, or similar account.”
