Read the first 7 Client Communication & Confidentiality flashcards as text

  1. A borrower insists the NSA explain what happens if they miss their first mortgage payment. The NSA should:

    Answer: Politely decline and direct the borrower to contact their lender or loan officer for that information

    Questions about loan consequences are loan advice and must be directed to the lender, not answered by the NSA.

  2. After a signing, the NSA realizes they accidentally kept a document containing borrower NPI. The correct action is to:

    Answer: Promptly contact the lender or title company, disclose the error, and return or securely transmit the document as instructed

    Any inadvertent retention of borrower NPI must be disclosed to the responsible party immediately and handled per their instructions.

  3. Which scenario represents a proper use of a borrower's contact information obtained during a signing assignment?

    Answer: Contacting the borrower only if the lender or title company authorizes follow-up for a legitimate signing-related purpose

    Borrower contact information obtained through a signing may only be used for the purpose for which it was provided — not for marketing or resale.

  4. A title company emails the NSA a closing package that contains more borrower information than is needed for the signing. The NSA should:

    Answer: Handle all documents as confidential, use only what is necessary, and return or destroy excess materials per instructions

    NSAs should apply data minimization principles — only accessing and using the information necessary for the signing and handling all materials as confidential.

  5. A borrower requests that the NSA not disclose to the lender that a third party was present during the signing. The NSA should:

    Answer: Decline and report the third party's presence to the lender as required by standard closing protocols

    NSAs must accurately report the conditions of the signing to the lender, including the presence of unauthorized third parties, regardless of borrower requests.

  6. An NSA is offered a bonus by a borrower to share the contact information of other borrowers the NSA has worked with. The NSA should:

    Answer: Refuse firmly, as sharing any client contact information for any compensation violates confidentiality obligations

    Sharing client information for compensation is a serious breach of confidentiality and potentially illegal under consumer privacy laws.

  7. When an NSA completes a signing at a hospital bedside and other patients can overhear, the NSA's best approach is to:

    Answer: Speak quietly, position documents to limit visibility, and take all steps possible to protect the borrower's privacy in the environment

    NSAs must make reasonable efforts to protect borrower privacy in any signing environment, including minimizing audibility and document visibility.
