Once the DOS has been violated, it has been violated.Yes, banks are enforcing the DOS.It actually “red flags” the account at the bank for further review.As the bank looks, then sees Two deed transfers in such a short time on one property, then another transfer to a Land Trust and the loan isn’t being paid off, hmm, they say, “something fishy is going on here and it may be illegal”.Contrary to popular belief, banks aren’t stupid.No bank is going to risk liability to protect you and ignore that you violated the DOS.
