There are many variations on this theme from the simple one page QWR shown on HUD's site to over 28 page requests requesting all information from which to both document the life of loan history but acquire enough information to do a thorough loan/mortgage audit.  Statutes of limitations need to be kept aware of regarding any TILA (Truth In Lending Act) or potential RESPA violations, some of which may allow rescission of the loan.
