Correct answer: For 60 days after the transfer, the borrower cannot be charged a late fee for payments sent to the old servicer
RESPA provides a 60-day grace period following a servicing transfer during which a borrower cannot be penalized or reported as delinquent for sending a payment to the old (transferring) servicer instead of the new one. The old servicer is required to forward the payment to the new servicer. This protects borrowers who may not have received or processed the transfer notice in time. There is no 5-day or 15-day rule, and borrowers are explicitly protected during this transition period.
