An MLO is reviewing procedures for a case where a borrower asks which upfront charge can be collected before intent to proceed. What is the proper handling?

Correct Answer

C) Charge only a bona fide credit report fee before intent

Lines 186-203; 12 CFR 1026.19(e)(2)(i). The narrow fee exception is for a bona fide and reasonable credit report fee before Loan Estimate receipt and intent to proceed. Therefore, the correct response is "Charge only a bona fide credit report fee before intent".

Answer Options
A
Handle records, reports, and required notices with a sales script rather than the required file action.
B
Use the NMLS status review as a reason to postpone the required compliance step.
C
Charge only a bona fide credit report fee before intent

Skip the rule because the NMLS status review appears routine.
