Can a lender change my APR from 4.417 to 4.45 two days after closing?

Yes and no... the APR is allowed to change up to 1/8 to account for incidentals, but it's only allowed from the time when your lender disclosed, to the final numbers on the closing documents.. the APR is calculated by selecting items or fees that are considered "Pre Paid Finance Charges"... because of our current lending environment where lenders are walking on needles in fear of making a minor mistake that can cost millions, lenders are selecting fees that are not necessary considered a pre paid fiance charge, but they are marking them that way just in case.. sort of Over Disclosing.. So long as your "Note Rate" has not changed, the APR is just a government calculation, and wont have any affect on your payments... I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

It shouldn't have changed after closing, the lender may have not had some fees checked correctly I would confirm your note rate didn't change and you did not have fees added to your loan.

That is a yes and no answer. A lender can not just change loan numbers with out updating you first you first. Call your lender for answers

So you are now being charged and extra 3k based on what I see, that would be a concern and conversation to be had with the LO. That far into the transaction though it may be a sad bit the bullet situation. Any other lender will take at Min 8 days to close the cloa

Ok, if I understand correctly, in your scenario, the fees that were originally disclosed as lender fees, are now being broken out because of a seller credit.. and instead of him paying them, he has to show those fees as borrower fees, but then show a lender credit in the boxes below to offset those fees.. and because of all these number moving around, this has changed the APR. This should not be a problem.. simple mathematics.. if your loan amount is not changing, and your not having to come in with even more money, the "Note Rate" has not changed, but the APR has changed an insignificant amount, then this really isn't a problem..

Yes and no... No, you can't change the terms of the loan without a valid reason and disclosing to the client. But yes, you can fix things. I'll bet your interest rate and closing costs didn't change a penny... But APR is such of overwhelming worthless government required bunch of disclosing that is easy to screw up, and doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. In my 25-years of lending, my opinion is that NO ONE should ever make a loan decision based on disclosed APR. It is good in theory, but horrible in actual practice.
