WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 11, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — On October 9, 2012 the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) provided official comments and exhibits on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB’s) Proposed Servicing Rules that amend the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). CFBP’s proposed rules were released in early August.

MBA’s our recommendations focused on numerous areas, including small servicer exemption, error resolution and information requests, loss mitigation, and early intervention for troubled or delinquent borrowers, just to name a few. We also suggest to the CFPB that discretionary items (those not authorized by Congress in the Dodd Frank Act or required by the RESPA and TILA statutes) not be subject to a private right of action.
