EARLY ARM DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
CoastHills Federal Credit Union
P. O. Box 8000, Santa Maria, CA 93456
IMPORTANT LOAN INFORMATION - PLEASE READ INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY:
You should carefully read this disclosure; the promissory note, deed of trust or mortgage; any riders; and all other documents that you will be asked to sign if you accept an ARM loan.
ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE MEANS YOUR PAYMENT MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. You are applying for an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loan. This means that your interest rate and monthly payments may change during the life of your loan. Your monthly payments will increase if the interest rate rises and decrease if it falls. The date or dates on which changes can occur (referred to in this disclosure as "Change Date") will be specified in the ARM loan documents. This ARM is based on the terms and conditions set forth in this disclosure and in the loan documents. We have based this disclosure on recent interest rates, index and margin values, discounts, and fees. Ask us for our current interest rate and margin.
An ARM is different from a fixed-rate mortgage loan. For a fixed-rate loan, the monthly payments of principal and interest do not change during the life of the loan. You should consider carefully which type of loan is best for you.
HOW YOUR INTEREST RATE IS DETERMINED. Your interest rate will be determined by means of an index that may change from time to time.
HOW YOUR PAYMENT CAN CHANGE ("Worst Case Scenario").
PREPAYMENT. You may pay this ARM loan in whole or part without penalty at any time. If you are paying more than your regularly scheduled payment, you must notify us as to how you want the funds applied.
DEMAND FEATURE. This loan does not include a demand feature.
DISCLOSURES FOR OTHER ARM PROGRAMS. Available on Request.
BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. After having read the contents of the above disclosure. I/we acknowledge receipt of this disclosure and further acknowledge that this disclosure was completed in full prior to its receipt. I/we also acknowledge receipt of the handbook entitled "Consumer Handbook on Adjustable Rate Mortgages."
HELOC EARLY DISCLOSURE & TERMS OF LINE OF CREDIT PLAN
This disclosure contains important information about our home equity line of credit (HELOC). You should read it carefully and keep a copy for your records.
Availability of Terms: All terms described below are subject to change. If these terms change (other than the annual percentage rate) and you decide not to enter into an agreement with us, you are entitled to a refund of any fees you paid to us or anyone else in connection w/your application.
Security Interest: We will take a mortgage on your home. You could loose your home if you do not meet the obligations in your agreement with us.
Possible Actions: We can terminate your line and require you to pay us the entire outstanding balance in one payment if:
We can refuse to make additional extensions of credit or reduce your credit limit if:
Minimum Payment Requirements: You can obtain advances of credit for 10 years. This period is referred to as the "Draw Period". During the draw period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal the finance charges (interest) accrued on the outstanding balance during the billing period. The minimum payment during the draw period will not reduce the principal that is outstanding on your line.
After the draw period ends, you will no longer be able to obtain credit advances and must repay the outstanding balance over 15 years referred to as the "Repayment Period". During the repayment period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal the balance outstanding the end of the draw period plus finance charges that have accrued on the outstanding balance during the billing cycle.
Minimum Payment Example: If you took a single $10,000 advance and the annual percentage rate was 5.500%. It would take 25 years to pay off the advance if you only made the minimum payment. During the draw period, you would make 120 monthly payments of $45.83, followed by 180 monthly payments of $81.71 during the repayment period.
Recovery of Cost Fees: The following closing costs are estimated to be paid on your behalf in the amount referenced.
If this line of credit is paid off and closed within three years of the origination date, you will be responsible for previously waived closing costs, to a maximum of $500. You understand these are the actual closing costs paid by the credit union on your behalf. Unless otherwise noted, all fees will be paid at closing.
Minim Draw Requirement: There is no minimum credit advance required.
Deductbility: You should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductbility of interest and charges for the line.
Variable Rate Feature: The line has a variable rate feature, and the annual percentage rate (corresponding to the perioic rate) and the minimum monthly payment can change as a result. The annual percentage rate includes only interest and not other costs.
The annual percentage rate is based on the value of an index. The index is the highest "Prime Rate" as published in the "money Rates" table of the online or print edition of The Wall Street Journal. To detmine the annual percentage rate that will apply to your line, we add the margin to the value of the index. If the annual percentage rate is not already rounded, we then round to the nearest 0.125%. Ask us for a current index value, margin, and annual percentage rate. After you open a line of credit, rate information will be provided in monthly billing statements that are sent to you.
Rate Changes: The annual percentage rate can change monthly. The rate cannot increase or decrease more than 2.00% at each change date or in any 1-year period. The maximum annual percentage rate that can apply is 18.00% or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less. However, under not circumstances will your annual percentage rate go below 4.00% at any time during the term of the plan.
Maximum Rate & Payment Examples: If you had an outstanding balance of $10,000 during the draw period, the minimum monthly payment at the maximum annual percentage rate of 18.00% would be $150.00. If you had an outstanding balance of $10,000 during the repayment period, the minimum monthly payment at the maximum annual percentage rate of 18.00% would be $161.04. This anual percentage rate could be reached in 9 years.
Historical Example: The following table shows how the annual percentage rate and the minim monthly payment for a $10,000 outstanding balance would have changed based on the changes in the index over the past 15 years. The index values are from the first business day of January each year. While only one payment amount per year is shown, payments during the repayment period would have varied during each year.
The table assumes an outstanding balance of $10,000. That only the minimum payments were made and that the rate remained constant during each year. This does not necessarily indicate how the indext of your payments will change in the future.
