A creditor delivers the Loan Estimate four business days before a planned consummation. Even though it met the three-day application-delivery rule, what separate timing problem exists?
Correct Answer
D) Consummation generally cannot occur until seven business days after the Loan Estimate was delivered or mailed
Why this is correct: TRID imposes two separate timing rules. First, the Loan Estimate must be delivered within three business days of application. Second, there is a mandatory waiting period: consummation generally cannot occur until at least seven business days after the Loan Estimate is delivered or placed in the mail to the consumer. Delivering the Loan Estimate only four business days before a planned closing violates this seven-business-day waiting period, even if the three-day delivery rule was met. Why the other choices are wrong: The choice "The Loan Estimate must be delivered after consummation" is completely wrong; it is a pre-consummation disclosure. The choice "No Loan Estimate is allowed once a closing date is selected" is wrong; selecting a closing date does not prohibit providing the Loan Estimate. The choice "The creditor must wait 30 days" is wrong; the specific rule is a seven-business-day wait, not 30 days. Exam tip: Remember the dual timing rules: 3 days to deliver the Loan Estimate after application, and a 7-business-day wait between that delivery and consummation.
