Our bank has an existing balloon loan that will mature December 31, 2011. If at maturity, the bank renews this loan to continue the original amortization schedule, will this loan be subject to HPML limits? I've seen an earlier response indicating renewals are not subject to HPML's however, in speaking w/ a Fed Examiner he indicated that it was subject to HPML. Can you point us in the right direction in the reg showing us that renewals are not subject to HPML?

We had a loan, not a mortgage, with a state bank that failed. Do we have any rights as to selling that loan or the opportunity to purchase it back ourselves? This is Wisconsin. Also, we had a deposit at the same bank. The interest rate on the loan was based on the interest rate paid on the deposit. One bank bought the deposits and immediately lowered the interest rate on the deposit. The entity that bought the loan did not lower the interest rate on the loan. What rights do we have on the original contract with the failed bank?

1.) What date do you use when using the FFIEC calculator to determine a higher priced loan (in-house loan) Is it the application date or is it the date that the loan is to be closed. 2.) This loan is a jumbo loan so would the same rule apply for a different threshold of 2.5 instead of 1.5% even though it is an in-house loan?
