Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Changes (effective January 10, 2014)

February 11, 2014 by Adam Friedman

February 11, 2014

Newly enacted Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rules designed to protect defaulted homeowners will become effective today, January 10, 2014. Click here to download a client memorandumexplaining these changes in further detail.

These regulations only apply to servicers, which are defined as people responsible for the servicing of a federally related mortgage loan (including a person who makes or holds such loans if such person also services the loan). These regulations do not include “small servicers” who are defined as lenders that service 5,000 or fewer mortgage loans and service only mortgage loans that they or an affiliate originated or own. This differentiation aims to reward the small servicers who typically have strong consumer service safeguards already built in their lending practices.

The above referenced memorandum will answer the following questions:
• How will the newly imposed loss mitigation rules impact my ability to commence any action?
• How quickly must I respond to a homeowner following receipt of a complete/incomplete loss mitigation application?
• How long does a homeowner have to appeal a loss mitigation denial? Does this place a stay upon my foreclosure action?
• How long does the homeowner have to accept a loss mitigation offer?
• How will the newly imposed “Early Intervention” Requirements impact my business?
• How will the newly imposed “Continuity of Contact” Requirements impact my business?

Please feel free to contact us directly with any further questions.
