Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
At least 3 business
days before making a covered loan to a customer, a lender shall
ensure that the customer has been given the following notice, in
writing and in a clear and conspicuous format:
DISCLOSURE TO BORROWER
A. If you obtain this loan, the lender will have a mortgage on
your home. You could lose your home and any money that you
have put into it if you do not meet your obligations under this
loan. Mortgage loan rates and closing costs and fees vary based
on many factors, including your particular credit and financial
circumstances, your earnings history, your employment status,
the loan-to-value ratio of the requested loan, and the type of property that will secure your loan. The loan rate and fees could also
vary based on which lender you select.
B. As a consumer you should shop around and compare loan
rates and fees. You should also consider consulting a qualified
independent credit counselor or other experienced financial adviser regarding the rate, fees, and provisions of this mortgage loan
before you proceed.
C. You are not required to complete this loan agreement
merely because you have received these disclosures or have
signed a loan application. If you proceed with this mortgage
loan, you should also remember that you may face serious financial risks if you use this loan to pay off credit card debts or other
debts in connection with this transaction and then subsequently
incur significant new debt. If you continue to accumulate debt after this loan is made and then experience financial difficulties,
you could lose your home and any equity that you have in it if you
do not meet your mortgage loan obligations.
D. Property taxes and homeowner’s insurance are your responsibility. Some lenders may require you to escrow money for
these payments. However, not all lenders provide escrow services
for these payments. You should ask your lender about these
services.
E. Your payments on existing debts contribute to your credit
ratings. You should not accept any advice to ignore your regular
payments to your existing creditors.
