CFPB Updates and Adds to its TILA-RESPA Resources; Must-See TILA-RESPA Webcast; It’s Been a While
Written by JiJi Bahhur, Director of Regulatory Compliance
ThereâÂÂs nothing better than a quick, but solid burst of information on a lovely Friday (okay, thatâÂÂs a stretch . . . but hopefully an attention-grabber for those of you who are eagerly awaiting the weekend to begin).Â
Earlier this week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) updated both its Small Entity Guide for the Truth-in-Lending Act / Real Estate Settlement Procedures ACT (TILA-RESPA) Integrated Disclosure Rule and its Guide to Forms. Prior to this September 2014 update, the last editions were published in March 2014 and April 2014, respectively.Â
New to its available resources, the CFPB also released a timeline to assist with understanding the time requirements under the TILA-RESPA rule. If youâÂÂve been following NAFCUâÂÂs TILA-RESPA blog series, youâÂÂve seen that there are a number of different timeframes that creditors, such as credit unions, need to be aware of. The CFPBâÂÂs timeline shows how to apply the process and timing requirements under the TILA-RESPA rule for a specific real estate purchase transaction.
Just a friendly reminder, the TILA-RESPA rule goes into effect on August 1, 2015. It seems like a ways away, but there is plenty that credit unions can be doing right now towards implementation (sounds like an opener for a near future blog)!Â
For past blogs on this rule, take a look here.

It's Been a While. Okay, itâÂÂs been a while but IâÂÂve finally been able to glance through some recent photos of the kiddies. Now two years old, here are a couple recent photos of my twins, Kyse and Ava.

Happy Friday to you all, and have a great weekend!
