We have a HELOC that has matured, and the customer is having trouble repaying. Can we do a workout agreement on it (reduce the variable rate interest to thereby reduce the payment and give them a breather)?

I’ve been hearing a new mortgage ad slogan: “Date the Rate, Marry the Home”. What is this all about, and should we adopt it too? It is catchy, and might garner us some new loan apps.

Are lowside and highside tracking used with credit bureau score decisioning, or does that just apply to decisioning with a custom pooled data scorecard? If so, what are appropriate thresholds?

I am sending a revised Loan Estimate for an appraisal fee increase. What verbiage do I use to justify that the appraisal transfer invoice shows the fee is now $575 versus the $430 which was initially disclosed. This is an appraisal transfer from another lender., and I am not sure what the correct verbiage would be for this change.

If our policy is to not disclose Title Insurance on loans less than $300,000, could a Change in Circumstances such as an error allow us toredisclose with title insurance, if this can be done within 3 days of being notified of the error? If so, would this cause the closing date to be moved further out?

If I am making an informational post about what mortgage points are and I state, "Each point typically costs 1% of your total loan amount and can reduce your interest rate by a fraction (usually 0.25%)," is that technically a method of determining a finance charge and subject to additionaldisclosures per section 1026.16?
I should note that this post is an explanation of what discount points are, and not necessarily an advertisement for a specific product, but also I'm not sure there are carveouts from the provision. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
