The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued its final rules regarding mortgage servicing last week which will undoubtedly change mortgage servicing operations in the United States - and according to some commentators, may lead to certain loan originators and servicers giving up the mortgage business entirely. The CFPB was required to announce final rules for mortgage regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by January 21.
With the new rules going into effect on January 10, 2014, mortgage servicers must now focus on achieving compliance within the next 12 months. Join our panel to discuss the requirements of the CFPB’s Final Rules and what loan servicers need to do to comply.
