Under TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) Rule, fees paid to affiliates of the lender (e.g., title companies, appraisers) must remain the same on the Loan Estimate (LE) unless there is a valid changed circumstance (such as a significant change in the loan terms or property value). These fees fall under the zero-tolerance category, meaning they cannot increase from the amount disclosed on the LE unless a change in circumstance justifies the increase.
Other costs like per diem interest (A), homeowner's insurance (B), and owner's title insurance premiums (C) can change, as they are not subject to the same zero-tolerance rules.
