Correct Answer

D) The lender must refund the $300 difference because origination fees are in the zero-tolerance category and cannot increase

The lender may charge the higher amount because origination fees are not subject to tolerance rules
B
The lender must refund only if the increase exceeds 10 percent
C
The lender may charge the higher amount if the borrower verbally agrees
D
The lender must refund the $300 difference because origination fees are in the zero-tolerance category and cannot increase
