Mortgage Lenders Disclose Discount Points at Closing, Doubling Quoted Costs
Mortgage originators quote closing costs without disclosing discount points, then present a Closing Disclosure at signing with costs doubled or more due to the previously undisclosed points. Consumers are financially and logistically trapped at the closing table with no practical way to walk away. This bait-and-switch on closing costs is a structural RESPA violation that persists due to weak enforcement and information asymmetry.
