5 Miss. Code. R. 2-1.10 - Lock-in Fee and Lock-in Agreement

2. The mortgage broker may not charge or collect a lock-in fee that is not on behalf of a named lender.

3. If the lock-in fee is refundable, then the lock-in agreement is to state if the consumer will receive payment back in the form of a check or in the form of a reduction of origination fees at closing from the mortgage company.
