If we under stated an APR and did not catch it until after closing – and it was a system error so several loans in one product type were impacted – does TRID allow for a cure within 30 days?

The Reg Z, 1026.19, discusses corrective action in two instances after consummation – a “clerical error” or an “event occurring after consummation”. From what you’ve described, finding that the APR is inaccurate after the loan has closed would not fit into either of these.

You would look to the Truth in Lending Act sections 1607 and 1640 for cures. In addition, linked here is an interagency joint statement on restitution you may find helpful: https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/rules/5000-300.html. It is a good idea to involve the bank’s attorney when working through the corrective action.

The TILA has long standing provisions that allow cures that prevent civil liability, but restitution is required and the action must be taken in a timely manner, generally within 60 days after discovery. Contact your attorney and take action promptly.

Are you aware of a program or method to calculate the restitution?
