About this archive
The explanation above is written for readers. These original working documents preserve the evidence trail, including technical language, dated passages and known corrections. They have not all received independent professional review. Use the marked limits before relying on a particular rule or figure.
Read the evidence with its boundaries. These are saved research components, including revisions. A scoped coordinator review checks selected evidence; it does not certify every claim, a complete jurisdiction, current law or individual applicability. Dates and access limits remain attached to the records.
Status: focused research findings with express holds. Fresh primary readings establish separate rules for ordinary simple-interest loans, the limited add-on-interest category, and open-end loans. The principal unresolved comparisons concern financed origination fees, payment allocation, several fee provisions, older licensing-consequence rules, and the status of proposed 2026 amendments. Those questions remain identified below; they are not resolved by borrowing findings from the student-servicing, mortgage-servicing or payday passes.
Research access date: October 28, 2026, America/Los_Angeles. The official RCW site reported an online compilation update of July 15, 2026. Later official rulemaking records were examined, but the discovery described below does not certify the absence of every later amendment or future-effective instrument. app.leg.wa.gov
The most consequential version distinction is the 2024 amendment to RCW 31.04.035. Its express consequence for an applicable transaction involving a required-license violation differs materially from the refund language still appearing in older rules. The enacted prospective-application clause must accompany that comparison. app.leg.wa.gov+2

Reading conventions
Every source identifier below is a PASS-18 identifier. References such as S007, C024 and H04 are short cross-references to the corresponding full source, claim or hold identifier in this report.
Text finding means the stated proposition is supported within the cited source bounds. Comparison/hold means the sources establish a distinction or unresolved question, rather than an application result.
A complete-section reading includes the section’s operative paragraphs, exceptions and displayed history/notes. An incorporated body is not treated as completely examined merely because the section refers to it.
PDF readings were of parsed text. No PDF pixel inspection is claimed. Different formats of the same instrument are not counted as independent corroboration.

Consequential proposition
Primary authority and qualification
S_WA-P18-C001
The statutory loan definition covers money lent for interest, a fee or another charge, including open-end and closed-end transactions.
S001, RCW 31.04.015(14). A product’s advertised name does not establish these predicates. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C002
Making a loan includes advancing funds, offering to advance them, and committing to advance them.
S001, .015(16). Funding, offering and ownership therefore require separate factual predicates. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C003
Borrower protections are not invariably contingent on consummation: the statute includes persons seeking loan information; the rule describes an individual seeking personal, family or household credit and separately includes student borrowers.
“Nonmortgage,” “not a residential mortgage,” and “not secured by real property” are different boundaries. A dwelling can include residential personal property.
RCW 31.04.025(1) reaches a loan to a Washington resident or a person physically in Washington, when made by a licensee or person subject to the chapter.
S002. Remote conduct is also addressed by S023, -230(1). app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C006
Disguised sale/leaseback, pretextual rebate and remote arrangements are among the statutory anti-evasion subjects.
S002, .025(2); S003, .027(1)(o). No actual arrangement is classified. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C007
The purported-agent lender test first requires a loan exceeding the permitted rate; it then addresses predominant economic interest or lender status under the totality of circumstances plus an evasive structure.
S002, .025(3)(a)–(b); S042 §2. It is not an unconditional attribution rule. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C008
The bank/credit-union exemption requires activity under, and permitted by, the applicable banking law.
S002, .025(4)(a). Charter, authority and federal preemption bodies remain H02/H20. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C009
Pawnbroking, qualifying retail-installment transactions and chapter 31.45 loans have express boundaries; the retail exclusion has an exception for specified value instruments redeemable through another retailer.
S002, .025(4)(b)–(d). The incorporated sectors were not rerun. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C010
Primarily business, commercial or agricultural lending is excluded unless secured by the borrower’s primary dwelling.
S002, .025(4)(e); S022, -104(3). An actor’s commercial activity does not itself establish the loan’s purpose. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C011
The owner-sale exemption requires owned property without a dwelling, that property as security, and no more than five transactions per calendar year; SAFE-covered individuals and residential constructors/contractors are excluded.
S002, .025(4)(f). The numerical restriction cannot be omitted because the older rule does not repeat it. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C012
Government borrowers and organizations defined by TILA are separately addressed exclusions.
S002, .025(4)(g). The federal organization definition is held. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C013
Housing exclusions depend on the specified trust-fund, federal-program or publicly funded low-income-housing predicates; nonprofit status alone is insufficient.
S002, .025(4)(h)–(j); S022, -104(5), including its charitable-purpose, compensation, favorable-term and additional-standard conditions. Tax/program incorporations remain held. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C014
The credit-card-plan exclusion concerns loans that are not residential mortgage loans.
S002, .025(4)(k). It does not classify every open-end product as exempt. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C015
Licensed mortgage-servicer employees and chapter 18.44 licensees processing specified seller-finance payments have distinct exclusions.
S002, .025(4)(l)–(m). Neither is a general ordinary-loan ownership or collection exemption. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C016
The pending-action-proceeds exclusion requires nonrecourse contingent repayment; repayment despite failure to prevail defeats that exclusion.
S002, .025(4)(n). No action, party or litigation funding arrangement was investigated. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C017
DFI has conditional discretion to waive company licensing for other persons to facilitate commerce and protect consumers, excluding SAFE-covered individuals.
S002, .025(5). This is not a substantive exemption from every CLA restriction. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C018
The claimant bears the statutory burden for an exemption, definitional exception or preemption.
S002, .025(6). No burden is treated as satisfied here. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C019
The rule separately identifies individual immediate-family lending and primary-dwelling seller credit. Its statutory subsection references are outdated.
S022, -104(6)–(7); S020, -010(21). The immediate-family definition was read; no relationship or actual waiver was determined. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C020
The servicing definition and investor/note-buyer exclusions examined here concern residential mortgage loans. They do not establish ordinary nonmortgage owner, purchaser, servicer or collector capacity.
Student-purpose definitions remain separate; employer or earned-wage terminology alone establishes neither CLA coverage nor an exemption.
S001, .015(32); S021, -011(13); S002. Separate earned-wage law/currentness and transaction characteristics remain H03/H14. app.leg.wa.gov+2
S_WA-P18-C022
Required licensing must be obtained and maintained. The rule treats a license as associated with one business location and addresses Washington lending and remote solicitation.
S004, .035(1); S021, -011(6); S023, -230(1). Full application, branch, bond, renewal and assessment administration is excluded. app.leg.wa.gov+2
S_WA-P18-C023
Former WAC 208-620-240, concerning all loans made after licensure, was repealed effective November 24, 2019.
S052 repealer; S064 disposition. Its historical wording is not current authority. lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov+1
B. Interest, origination charges and other fees
Claim ID
Consequential proposition
Primary authority and qualification
S_WA-P18-C024
The ordinary nonmortgage ceiling is 25 percent per annum using simple interest. This is not a determination of APR or an all-in federal finance charge.
S007, .105(1); S028, -515(1); S025, -235. Original verification of -235 remains H15. app.leg.wa.gov+2
S_WA-P18-C025
Simple interest is tied to an annual rate or periodic equivalent, the unpaid principal and time outstanding; advance interest and compounding are restricted, with the separate reverse-mortgage exception.
S001, .015(31); S021, -011(12). The express closing-interest allowance must also be considered. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C026
The rule distinguishes principal amount advanced for the borrower’s benefit from principal balance including an allowed origination fee. Whether financed origination fees themselves bear interest requires reconciliation with the rule’s interest-base wording.
Add-on interest is permitted only within the statutory collateral and duration limits: no real-property security or personal-property residence, and repayment no later than three years and fifteen days after origination.
S009, .125(1). The ordinary rule’s simple-interest wording does not erase this express statutory exception. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C028
An authorized prepaid, nonrefundable origination fee is capped at four percent of the first $20,000 advanced for the borrower’s direct benefit and two percent of the remainder; financing the fee is permitted.
S007, .105(2); S033, -555(2). Permission and a ceiling do not establish contractual entitlement. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C029
Third-party preparation charges require the statutory/rule predicates, including written agreement under the rule. Before closing, collection is restricted to actual credit-report and appraisal costs; without a loan, the statute permits only the specified reasonable, properly incurred exceptions.
S007, .105(3); S033, -555(3)(b)(i). Appraiser independence and selection conditions remain part of .105(3). app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C030
Third-party charges cannot exceed actual costs paid or payable. The rule’s reference to a definition in -010 is stale; the statutory third-party-service-provider definition was separately read.
S033, -555(3)(b)(ii); S001, .015(37). No markup or fee entitlement is inferred from the broken reference. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C031
An underwriting fee is prohibited within the scope of -563.
S036, -563(1). No alternative label is treated as curing the prohibition. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C032
Document-preparation, processing, administrative, application and courier fees require payment to an unrelated third party and the borrower’s advance written agreement.
S035, -560(4). These conditions do not dispense with other applicable fee restrictions. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C033
Filing/public-official charges require payment or intended payment within 180 days; a release/reconveyance fee must go to an unrelated third party unless the licensee demonstrates its own facilitating work.
S035, -560(1). The exact start event for the 180 days is not stated expressly. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C034
The open-end annual fee cannot exceed $50, must be collected as an advance lump sum, cannot be imposed monthly, and cannot be financed.
A discount-point charge requires an actual rate reduction and a demonstrable mathematical relationship supported by the contemporaneous rate sheet or pricing engine.
S033, -555(3)(e). This does not establish an unrestricted additional ordinary-loan fee. H06.app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C036
A written rate-lock agreement is required. Retention after borrower breach additionally requires that the lender make the loan and have paid a third party or made a demonstrable financial commitment; specified rescission, qualification and appraisal-denial conditions prohibit retention.
S033, -555(3)(b)(iv). Ordinary-loan applicability and aggregate treatment remain H06. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C037
At closing, prepaid-interest collection may cover no more than 45 days. That collection permission does not itself specify when all such interest is earned or refunded.
The statutory delinquency penalty ceiling is ten percent of an installment delinquent at least ten days. The rule also refers to agreed terms; it supplies no authority to exceed the statute.
The dishonor rule states $25 or the financial institution’s actual charge, with only one fee for a particular instrument/transfer despite repeated returns.
S035, -560(2). No “greater of,” “lesser of” or selector rule was added. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C040
Reasonable attorney fees and actual collection expenses/costs are conditionally authorized when delinquent debt is referred to a nonsalaried attorney.
S007, .105(7); S033, -555(3)(d). Repossession/foreclosure references are not a completion of those separate bodies. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C041
Financing insurance premiums requires optional purchase, written disclosure that purchase is unnecessary for the loan, and signed confirmation; single-premium credit insurance has an additional Title 48 incorporation.
S033, -555(3)(a); S007, .105(10). Full insurance law remains H16. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C042
Credit-life coverage is limited by the balance net of refunds at death; disability coverage is limited by minimum payments during covered disability. Such insurance cannot be required.
S009, .125(3). No insurance amount or coverage outcome was determined. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C043
Open-end credit-life/disability premiums use the approved monthly rate and covered balance. Delinquency alone cannot support cancellation until a payment is at least 90 days overdue; interim premium advances may be debited.
S008, .115(4). Full insurance incorporation remains held. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C044
Open-end interest uses monthly billing cycles, with the statutory daily-balance additions and deductions; the closing date can vary by no more than four days from the same monthly date.
S008, .115(2)(a). Reverse mortgages are separately excepted in (2)(b). app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C045
Open-end method (i) uses the annual rate divided by 365 and the daily unpaid principal balance.
S008, .115(2)(a)(i). No leap-year or rounding adjustment was invented. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C046
Method (ii) uses one-twelfth of the annual rate multiplied by the cycle’s average daily unpaid principal balance.
S008, .115(2)(a)(ii). The statute defines that average by daily balances and cycle days. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C047
Method (iii) states a daily rate multiplied by the average daily unpaid principal balance. The text does not expressly supply an additional cycle-length multiplier.
S008, .115(2)(a)(iii). H07: no computational repair is adopted. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C048
Additional open-end charges remain subject to the conditions and restrictions governing those charges elsewhere in the chapter.
S008, .115(3). Open-end status does not eliminate individual fee limits. app.leg.wa.gov

Consequential proposition
Primary authority and qualification
S_WA-P18-C049
For licensee loans not secured by real property, .102(1) expressly incorporates applicable TILA, Regulation Z and other federal requirements.
S006. The state bridge was read; federal coverage, calculations, forms, delivery and remedies were not completed. H01/H09.app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C050
The rules require compliance with applicable federal and state laws, including listed disclosure, advertising and consumer-protection bodies.
S026, -505; S041, -640. Listing a law does not establish that every listed law governs every loan. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C051
Advance preparation of loan papers requires prior review of terms, including requested insurance type and amount; mailed loans have the stated sufficient-review-time exception.
S009, .125(4). No fixed mail-review period is supplied. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C052
Loan-origination documents cannot be supplied with blanks or left blank when signed.

The statutory open-end agreement must identify the CLA basis, include the prescribed party-identification categories and required disclosures, and be copied to the borrower when the account is created.
S008, .115(1), (7). No identifying field was populated. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C054
The open-end definition permits repeated advances and account debits/credits; the monthly-installment privilege uses fixed or determinable contractual amounts and is conditioned on absence of default.
S008, .115(1). No default definition is supplied by that clause. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C055
An open-end periodic statement is required at cycle end when the balance exceeds $1 or interest is imposed, subject to the uncollectible-account and initiated-collection exceptions.
S008, .115(8). Form and federal requirements remain held. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C056
An open-end rate increase generally requires mailed or delivered written notice at least 30 days before effectiveness, unless previously agreed.
S008, .115(6). Electronic substitution is not resolved here. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C057
On termination following an increase, the old balance retains prior terms unless additional debt is incurred on or after effectiveness or the borrower otherwise agrees to the new rate.
S008, .115(6). No election, assent or new borrowing is presumed. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C058
Solicited, advertised or contracted specific terms must actually be available at the relevant event.
S003, .027(1)(e). An advertisement, application, approval and binding agreement remain distinct. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C059
False or misleading loan advertising and specified deceptive representations are prohibited, including misleading “free” claims and undisclosed discount costs.
State advertising rules address conspicuous APR, equal prominence, support for advertised availability/calculation, and APR in oral rate quotations.
S003, .027(1)(l); S040, -630(2)–(4). Full federal calculation and the legacy federal citation remain H01. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C061
The advertising rule restricts lowest/best-rate claims, misleading affiliations and governmental endorsement implications; its genuine-program exception remains conditional.
S040, -630(1), (5)–(7). No actual advertisement or program was assessed. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C062
Company advertising, assumed names, URLs and electronic landing pages have separate licensed-name, approval and identifier/link requirements.

S_WA-P18-C063
At closing, the licensee cannot obtain the specified release of future usury/other damage claims or waiver of CLA protection.
S003, .027(1)(k). This is not a finding about any actual release. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C064
These readings do not complete a universal ordinary closed-end checklist for agreement contents, copy deadlines, language, accessibility or electronic consent.

Primary authority and qualification
S_WA-P18-C066
A payment delivered during regular working hours to any licensee location must be recorded as received that day.
S032, -550(2), with its Department of Education contractual-compliance exception. Recording receipt does not resolve every crediting or allocation question. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C067
An exact payoff amount as of a specified date must be provided within seven business days after a written request from the borrower of record or authorized representative.
The statute orders nonresidential payments through penalties/fees/charges, accrued interest and then principal; the rule directs application according to loan documents.
S001, .015(31)(a); S021, -011(12)(a). H05: the rule is not treated as permission for a contract to override the statute. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C069
The examined receipt/payoff provisions do not establish a universal after-hours, overpayment, underpayment, due-date-change, grace or default rule for ordinary loans.
S032, -550(1)–(2); S033, -555(3)(c). H10: no mortgage/student servicing rule fills the gap. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C070
A nonmortgage loan cannot carry a prepayment penalty under -563.
S036, -563(2). The adjustable-rate mortgage exception is not an ordinary nonmortgage exception. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C071
A statutory open-end account may be paid in full at any time without a prepayment penalty.
S008, .115(1)(d). This differs from the nondefault monthly-installment condition. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C072
An add-on loan must provide an unearned-interest refund or credit upon full early repayment, including repayment through cash, a new loan or refinancing.
S009, .125(2); S047 §1. The original maturity/final-due-date condition matters. app.leg.wa.gov+1
S_WA-P18-C073
The default add-on refund method is actuarial, with optional rounding of the annual rate to the nearest quarter of one percent.
S009, .125(2). Tie-breaking and further rounding conventions remain unspecified. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C074
A sum equal to at least two installments prepaid, no arrears, and continued paid-ahead status trigger the specified simple-interest recalculation instead.
S009, .125(2). This is an amount-equivalence condition, not necessarily two separate payment events. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C075
For the required refund, prepayment on or before the fifteenth day after a scheduled payment date is treated as made on the preceding payment date.
S009, .125(2). No actual date or calendar was evaluated. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C076
Before the first installment is due, retained interest is capped at one-thirtieth of the first month’s interest for each day between origination and actual prepayment.
S009, .125(2). Endpoint day counting remains H08. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C077
An origination fee’s nonrefundable label does not erase express refinancing, violation or remedy provisions; conversely, the add-on-interest refund does not create a universal refund of every fee.
For a new loan within 120 days after the same lender’s previous origination to the same borrower, the new origination-fee base excludes proceeds used to pay the prior amount due.
For a credit-line increase within that period, the origination-fee base is the increase over the existing line.
S035, -560(3)(b), subject to (c)–(d). No line amount was supplied. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C080
Those base restrictions have separate exceptions for refunding the old origination fee or demonstrating net tangible benefit; the benefit analysis must include new fees/charges.
S035, -560(3)(c)–(d). A lower payment or rate is not treated here as an automatic result. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C081
These readings do not establish a general ordinary-loan count, simultaneous-loan ceiling, minimum charge or universal definition of every renewal/consolidation.
S002/S007/S035. Anti-evasion and the specified successive-loan restriction remain applicable predicates; broader absence is not claimed.
S_WA-P18-C082
The rule requires reconveyance of collateral title within 60 business days when the loan is fully paid.
S032, -550(13). Full lien-release, perfection and satisfaction law remains H17. app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C083
Open-end security may remain until termination, with prompt-release duties for the specified 12-month zero-balance/no-unilateral-borrowing-right condition or borrower-requested termination plus full payment.

S_WA-P18-C098
The CLA declares the regulated practices a public-interest matter, links violations to RCW 19.86.020, and makes CPA remedies cumulative.
The private CPA provision requires injury to business or property by the violation; it provides a conditional litigation/remedy framework rather than an automatic award.

3. Required distinctions and comparisons
Distinction
Supported treatment
What remains conditional
Ordinary simple-interest / add-on / open-end
C024–C027 and C044–C048 identify different computation structures
No product is assigned to one of them
Closed-end / credit-card-plan / open-end
Open-end characteristics do not alone establish the credit-card-plan exclusion

Consumer purpose / commercial actor
Borrower purpose and the lender’s commercial context are separate inquiries

Nonmortgage / nonresidential mortgage / no real-property security
Use the exact phrase in each provision
C004, C085–C088; no interchangeable shorthand in an application

Servicing / collecting / owning a note
Mortgage definitions do not settle ordinary nonmortgage capacity
The old unsecured exclusion cannot serve as current general permission
C103–C105
Current body / adopted original / proposal / guidance
Status and application are independently recorded

Let PPP denote the legally defined amount advanced for the borrower’s direct benefit; FoF_oFo an otherwise authorized origination fee; rrr the legally applicable annual rate; BdB_dBd the statutory daily unpaid principal balance; and NNN the number of days in the billing cycle. No value is assigned to any variable.

For the open-end methods:
rd=r/365,rm=r/12,B‾=∑dBdNr_d=r/365,\qquad r_m=r/12,\qquad
\overline B=\frac{\sum_d B_d}{N}rd=r/365,rm=r/12,B=N∑dBdMethod (i) uses rdBdr_d B_drdBd; method (ii) uses rmB‾r_m\overline BrmB. Method (iii) literally states rdB‾r_d\overline BrdB. No extra multiplier is supplied here to repair method (iii). The statutory additions and deductions defining BdB_dBd remain necessary. S008/S046 support these relations. app.leg.wa.gov+1
For the before-first-installment add-on limitation, let I1I_1I1 denote the first month’s interest and DDD the legally countable days between the specified events:
Iretained≤(I1/30) DI_{\text{retained}}\le (I_1/30),DIretained≤(I1/30)DThe unresolved endpoint-counting question prevents treating this as a completed refund computation. S009/S047. app.leg.wa.gov+1

The statutory loan definition covers money lent for interest, a fee or another charge, including open-end and closed-end transactions.

Making a loan includes advancing funds, offering to advance them, and committing to advance them.
S001, .015(16). Funding, offering and ownership therefore require separate factual predicates.

S_WA-P18-C003
Borrower protections are not invariably contingent on consummation: the statute includes persons seeking loan information; the rule describes an individual seeking personal, family or household credit and separately includes student borrowers.
“Nonmortgage,” “not a residential mortgage,” and “not secured by real property” are different boundaries. A dwelling can include residential personal property.
RCW 31.04.025(1) reaches a loan to a Washington resident or a person physically in Washington, when made by a licensee or person subject to the chapter.

Simple interest is tied to an annual rate or periodic equivalent, the unpaid principal and time outstanding; advance interest and compounding are restricted, with the separate reverse-mortgage exception.

S_WA-P18-C026
The rule distinguishes principal amount advanced for the borrower’s benefit from principal balance including an allowed origination fee. Whether financed origination fees themselves bear interest requires reconciliation with the rule’s interest-base wording.
Add-on interest is permitted only within the statutory collateral and duration limits: no real-property security or personal-property residence, and repayment no later than three years and fifteen days after origination.
S009, .125(1). The ordinary rule’s simple-interest wording does not erase this express statutory exception.
app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C028
An authorized prepaid, nonrefundable origination fee is capped at four percent of the first $20,000 advanced for the borrower’s direct benefit and two percent of the remainder; financing the fee is permitted.

Third-party preparation charges require the statutory/rule predicates, including written agreement under the rule. Before closing, collection is restricted to actual credit-report and appraisal costs; without a loan, the statute permits only the specified reasonable, properly incurred exceptions.

app.leg.wa.gov
S_WA-P18-C036
A written rate-lock agreement is required. Retention after borrower breach additionally requires that the lender make the loan and have paid a third party or made a demonstrable financial commitment; specified rescission, qualification and appraisal-denial conditions prohibit retention.

At closing, prepaid-interest collection may cover no more than 45 days. That collection permission does not itself specify when all such interest is earned or refunded.
The statutory delinquency penalty ceiling is ten percent of an installment delinquent at least ten days. The rule also refers to agreed terms; it supplies no authority to exceed the statute.
The dishonor rule states $25 or the financial institution’s actual charge, with only one fee for a particular instrument/transfer despite repeated returns.

Corrections, review and scope
Read the evidence with its boundaries. These are saved research components, including revisions. A scoped coordinator review checks selected evidence; it does not certify every claim, a complete jurisdiction, current law or individual applicability. Dates and access limits remain attached to the records.
