How do I handle the situation if the consumer states that they never received the Closing Disclosure (CD)?


Simply call the lender and tell them the consumer states that they did not receive the CD in advance and then inquire if the lender would like you to proceed. Remember, if the lender used the “mail-box method” of delivery (either mailing or emailing the CD seven days in advance), there is a presumption in the Rule that the consumer received the CD without requiring proof of receipt. Therefore, it is entirely possible that the lender met its obligation but the CD got lost in the mail/email. “Receipt” then is defined by the Rule and does not necessarily mean that the consumer actually received the CD!
