Greetings! 

Recently, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) issued proposed rules (Proposal) to amend Regulation X, which implements the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and the official interpretation of the regulation.

The proposed amendments implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) provisions regarding mortgage loan servicing.

Specifically, this proposal requests comment regarding proposed additions to Regulation X to address seven servicer obligations:
1) Correct errors asserted by mortgage loan borrowers; 
2) Provide information requested by mortgage loan borrowers;
3) Ensure that a reasonable basis exists to obtain force-placed insurance;
4) Establish reasonable information management policies and procedures;
5) Provide information about mortgage loss mitigation options to delinquent borrowers;
6) Provide delinquent borrowers access to servicer personnel with continuity of contact about the borrower's mortgage loan account; and
7) Evaluate borrowers' applications for available loss mitigation options.
The Proposal would modify and streamline certain existing servicing-related provisions of Regulation X.

For instance, it would revise provisions relating to:
1) A mortgage servicer's obligation to provide disclosures to borrowers in connection with a transfer of mortgage servicing, and
2) A mortgage servicer's obligation to manage escrow accounts (including the obligation to advance funds to an escrow account to maintain insurance coverage and to return amounts in an escrow account to a borrower upon payment in full of a mortgage loan).
The Bureau proposes 'companion' regulations implementing amendments to the Truth In Lending Act (TILA) in Regulation Z (the 2012 TILA Servicing Proposal). I will provide an outline of the 2012 TILA Servicing Proposal in a subsequent newsletter.

Comments Due: On or before October 9, 2012.

Regards,
Jonathan Foxx
President & Managing Director
