Reader notes on wording
Our automated check found that these summaries may not match the FDD's exact wording. Read the FDD excerpt itself; it is the authoritative text. Core cost, fee, Item 19 and outlet figures are not affected.
Item 6 · PDF p. 13 · 2026 FDD
Our summary: Reimbursement/cure administrative fee
“plus 10% administrative fee”
Note: The source reads “plus a 10% administrative fee”; the quote omits “a” and is not verbatim.
Item 6 · PDF p. 14 · 2026 FDD
Our summary: Transfer fee plus costs
“$10,000 plus any broker fees and other out-of-pocket costs we incur”
Note: The source OCR reads “out - of - pocket costs”; the quote normalizes it to “out-of-pocket costs,” so it is not verbatim.
Item 7 · PDF p. 16 · 2026 FDD
Our summary: Computer System high
“$ 50,00”
Note: Previously reviewed against PDF text, but the required correction was refused by the save validator (number formatting or corrected quote/page validation). Recording unresolved verdict per user instruction so this claim advances; requires manual correction or validator repair.
