Mortgage lenders charge fees at closing that were not disclosed in the original Loan Estimate, a potential RESPA violation. Borrowers discover new charges at the closing table when they feel pressured to proceed. There is no easy consumer-facing tool to compare loan estimates against final closing disclosures.

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.
