Maya receives a Loan Estimate on Monday and then goes silent while comparing lenders. On Wednesday, the creditor orders the appraisal and charges Maya for it without any further communication. What is the best answer?

Correct Answer

D) The charge is not allowed because the consumer must indicate an intent to proceed before additional fees are imposed

After the Loan Estimate is received, the lender still must wait for the consumer to indicate an intent to proceed before imposing additional fees such as an appraisal fee. Silence is not treated as consent to move forward.

Answer Options
A
The charge is allowed because sending the Loan Estimate by itself authorizes the lender to continue
B
The charge is allowed because appraisal fees are always excluded from TRID fee limits
C
The charge is not allowed only if the appraisal fee is split with the settlement agent
D
The charge is not allowed because the consumer must indicate an intent to proceed before additional fees are imposed
