A customer had a recurring monthly debit post via debit card transaction. The customer had an agreement with a finance company to debit the account monthly until the debt is paid in full. The customer passed away and the finance company debited the remaining amount owed per the agreement. The joint owner is disputing this debit because she was not a part of this agreement. Is this final debited amount owed back to the joint owner?

In our online process, our customers could theoretically complete the whole loan without ever stepping foot into one of our offices. In those cases, they would never see the poster.

The only way I can see it would be legal, is if forwarding the application to the mortgage company would not be defined as a settlement service. I think it would be.

When a consumer real estate application is received via the internet (website) and is for a term, LTV, etc., other than what we offer, we send an e-mail explaining this. If the customer does not respond, do we treat this as a counter offer for Reg B and HMDA? Or as a withdrawal for these?

If a lender charges a wire transfer fee in connection with a real estate loan closing, is it considered a finance charge that will affect the APR? If the fee is charged by the settlement agent and not the lender, does this change the answer?
