Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Releases Streamlined Mortgage Discolosure Form

Know Before You Owe. Go!, by Patricia McCoy: “We’ve just posted two draft designs for a single, simpler mortgage disclosure form on our Know Before You Owe page. Now, we need to hear from you! The task is pretty simple: Consumers would receive a form similar to one of these versions within a few days of applying for a loan. Take a look, and tell us which one would do a better job of disclosing the necessary information. What information should lenders and brokers share with consumers when they apply for a mortgage?…At the heart of our work is the idea that the consumer financial product and services market should work for you. We think we should learn from you what you want to see. One of the best ways to do that is also the simplest: we’re asking.”
