Therefore, these two requirements are most important to our development team. Many enhancements, whether requested by our partners or required by changing market needs, are deemed to be of such sweeping applicability that we call them “General Enhancements”.

In the more than 28 years that J. L. Sherman & Associates has been providing lending calculation solutions, keeping our partners in compliance with Truth in Lending has always been a given. In the past, the primary compliance focus was on the disclosure of the APR and other elements that make up the “Federal Box”. However, in recent years we have witnessed a dramatic increase in new federal regulations. First came the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA), then the Higher Price Mortgage Loans rule became effective in 2009, then HOEPA was revised for 2013, and now the new TILA RESPA rules which go into effect this August of 2015.
