  • What the New High Cost Mortgage Protections Mean for Consumers
    JANUARY 10, 2013 What the new high-cost mortgage protections mean for consumers If a lender offers you a high-cost mortgage, where the annual percentage rate (APR) or points and fees charged exceed certain threshold amounts, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA) provides you with special consumer protections. Starting in January 2014, stronger protections will apply to these types of loans. For example, before making a loan, your lender must: • Provide you with information in advance that explains you are getting a high-cost mortgage, and stating the terms, costs and fees associated with the loan. • Certify that you have received homeownership counseling about the particular high-cost mortgage the lender is offering you. These special protections apply to any of the following types of mortgages that also meet HOEPA’s coverage thresholds: • The first mortgage to buy your home • A loan to refinance the mortgage on your home • A home equity loan or home equity line of credit (HELOC) What’s a high-cost mortgage? You’ll get additional consumer protections if your loan is: • For a first mortgage, and your APR is more than 6.5 percentage points higher than the average prime offer rate, which is an estimate of the rate people with good credit typically pay for a similar first mortgage. • For less than $50,000, is for a personal property dwelling (such as a manufactured home), and has an APR more than 8.5 percentage points higher than the average prime offer rate for a similar mortgage. • For a second, or junior mortgage, and your APR is more than 8.5 percentage points higher than the average prime offer rate for a similar second mortgage.

  • Helocs and Foreclosure
    HELOCs and Foreclosure The Basics LAF What is a HELOC? • Home equity line of credit • Revolving credit that is secured by the borrower’s property. • Lender allows the borrower to draw from the funds whenever he chooses. • High limits with low-interest rates. HELOC Home Equity Loan • Line of credit • Repayment period and/or balloon payment • Fixed amount • Possibly interest only payments, or negative • Fixed interest rate amortization • Fully amortized • Lower up front costs • Flexibility of funds available • Higher up front • Promissory note costs • Promissory note Subordinance and Recourse • Normally Subordinate to primary home loans. This means that the HELOC lender has claim to any money generated by a foreclosure, only after the primary mortgage lender recoups their full loss. • Almost all HELOCs are considered “recourse loans.” The borrower is personally responsible for paying recourse loans in full, regardless of their property’s value. If the lender doesn’t recoup the full cost of the HELOC during foreclosure, they can sue the borrower for the remaining money owed. Draw Period • Span of 5-10 years during which the borrower can withdraw money whenever he chooses. • Borrower will be given a checkbook or a special credit card to use for withdrawals. • Like a credit card, when money is taken out, the borrower will receive a monthly bill and must make a minimum payment (sometimes interest- only). When no money is withdrawn, the borrower will not be charged. Reset • Many HELOCS have the option for a lower payment term for the first ten to twenty years. • Reset, in most instances to fully amortizing loans.

  • The Annual Survey of Consumer Financial Services Law
    The Business Lawyer at 75: The Annual Survey of Consumer Financial Services Law By John L. Ropiequet* Over its forty-two year history in The Business Lawyer, the Annual Survey on Consumer Financial Services Law, written by numerous members of the Consumer Financial Services Committee, has chronicled the developments in an ever-changing area of law that deals with the regulation of credit products for personal, family, and household purposes. From the enactment of the Truth in Lending Act in 1974 to the enactment of the Dodd- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act in 2010 to the present, the alphabet soup of new federal statutes and their alphabetized federal regulations has created an astonishingly complex legal structure that has in turn led to the establishment of an army of compliance lawyers and litigators who are devoted to dealing with it. This article describes what the Annual Survey has done to keep the profession abreast of the twists and turns in this fascinating field during several different eras that reflect larger eco- nomic developments like the go-go eighties and the housing foreclosure crisis that followed it, and the congressional reactions to perceived abuses. INTRODUCTION Unlike other categories of articles or annual surveys published in The Business Lawyer (“TBL”),1 the Annual Survey of Consumer Financial Services Law (“Annual Survey”) cannot claim to have played a role in shaping its area of the law or even in influencing the policymakers who draft it, despite occasional laments from its editor about the chaotic state of federal consumer finance law with the hope that the states would enact uniform laws to improve the situation.2 Rather, from its inception with Volume 34 of TBL in 1979, the Annual Survey’s authors and editors have done their utmost to chronicle and keep their readers * John L.

  • Home-Equity Credit Under the Truth in Lending Act
    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Report to the Congress Rules on Home-Equity Credit under the Truth in Lending Act November 1996 FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD STUDY ON RULES ON HOME-EQUITY CREDIT UNDER THE TRUTH IN LENDING ACT INTRODUCTION The Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to give extensive disclosures when homeowners apply for home-secured credit. Different rules govern depending on whether a lender offers an open-end line of credit or the more traditional closed-end second-mortgage loan.1 In addition, substantive rules establish certain consumer rights. For example, homeowners have the right to cancel a transaction within three business days when the credit is secured by their principal dwelling. In 1994, the Congress amended the Truth in Lending Act to require additional disclosures for closed-end home-equity loans in which the borrower is paying rates and fees above a certain percentage or amount. The Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA) amendments were contained in the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act (RCDRIA) and became effective in October 1995. Under the HOEPA, the rules did not change for open-end home-equity lines of credit, as the congressional hearings that led to enactment of the new rules did not reveal evidence of abusive practices connected with open-end home-equity lending. Instead, the Congress directed the Federal Reserve Board to conduct a study and submit a report on whether the existing Truth in Lending rules provide adequate protections for consumers obtaining home- equity lines of credit. In addition, the Congress directed the Board to address whether a more appropriate interest-rate index should be used in determining the applicability of the HOEPA.

  • Ways to Refinance a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
    Ways to refinance a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) Can I refinance a HELOC? If you’re thinking of refinancing a HELOC, you probably already have one. However, if you’re considering one and want to know your options you should understand what a HELOC is and how it works. A HELOC is a home equity line of credit secured by your home. It is a revolving line of credit from which you may draw money from to use for a home improvement, to pay off high-interest debt or other expenses. HELOCs have two phases—a draw period where you only pay the interest on what you take out and a repayment period where you don’t draw any more funds, but start to pay down your principal and interest from the money you borrowed. The draw phase typically lasts around 10 year and the repayment period is around 20 years. Reasons to refinance a HELOC When the repayment period begins, your monthly payments will increase. This is the point where you may want to refinance your HELOC if the payment is too high to afford. Besides reducing the payment, other reasons to refinance a HELOC include lowering your interest rate or getting more money from your home’s equity. Are you eligible to refinance your HELOC? You will likely need to meet certain income and asset requirements to refinance a HELOC. These requirements may require you to provide certain information which may include, but not be limited to: • Proof of income (W-2s, pay stubs) • Tax returns • Mortgage statements • Identification documents • Debt and assets Having a good credit score and good credit history by making payments on time can help you get a good interest rate when you refinance a HELOC.
