A Recap of Recent Mortgage Servicing Blog Posts

A Recap of Recent Mortgage Servicing Blog Posts:
Written by Steve Van Beek
We've been blogging on the CFPB's mortgage servicing proposals quite a bit recently.  And, naturally, quite a few of those blog posts have been lengthy.  I wanted to take a bit to consolidate some of those blog posts in a central location (with links) to help keep everyone organized.
CFPB Issues Mortgage Servicing Proposal.  This blog post announces the CFPB's mortgage servicing proposals, links to the actual proposals, summaries and additional resources.  
Summaries of Three TILA Proposed Changes.  This blog post includes the summaries of the CFPB's three main proposed changes to Regulation Z (TILA).  The post includes links to the preambles, regulatory text, official staff commentary and any model forms.  
Summaries of the First Three RESPA Proposed Changes.  This blog post includes the summaries of the CFPB's first three main proposed changes to Regulation X (RESPA).  The post also includes links to the preambles, regulatory text, official staff commentary and any model forms.
Summaries of the Last Three RESPA Proposed Changes.  This blog post includes the summaries of the CFPB's last three main proposed changes to Regulation X (RESPA).  The post also includes links to the preambles, regulatory text, official staff commentary and any model forms.
Proposed Exemption for Credit Unions that Service 1000 of Fewer Mortgages.  This blog post reviews the CFPB's proposal to exempt - from the mortgage periodic statement requirement - credit unions that service 1000 or fewer mortgage loans.  
Proposed Coupon Book Exemption.  This blog post reviews the CFPB's proposed implementation of the "coupon book exemption" which would allow credit unions to send coupon books in lieu of periodic statements for their fixed-rate mortgage loans if they followed the proposed requirements.      
***
Just the Beginning.  Don't worry - there will be plenty of additional issues that come out of the CFPB's proposed mortgage rules.  We'll do our best to keep everyone up to date on these issues.  If you are interested, we'll be covering the CFPB's proposed mortgage rules in depth during our September 5th webcast as well as our Regulatory Compliance Seminar in Seattle, Washington (October 23-26).  
Note:  The early-bird pricing for both of these events is rapidly approaching (Wednesday, August 29th for the webcast and Friday, August 31st for Seminar).  Additionally, the main hotel for Seminar is completely booked - although there are numerous other hotels within short walking distance.

The Many Faces of Peace

By Grant Sheehan Embracing Peace: The Legacy of the Sheehan Family As I sit down to write this blog post, I am inspired by the deep-rooted values and meanings embedded in my family name, Sheehan. Originating from the Gaelic word "O'Síothcháin," which translates to "descendant of Síothcháin," my surname encapsulates a beautiful legacy of peace and tranquility. In a world often filled with conflict and noise, the concept of peace is more important than ever. This blog post is not only a reflection on my family's heritage but also a heartfelt exploration of what peace means in today’s context. The Sheehan family has long been a symbol of harmony, and it is my hope to delve into this rich meaning and examine how we can carry forward the ideals of serenity and understanding in our lives and communities. Join me as we explore the significance of peace, both personally and universally, and how this legacy can inspire us to cultivate a more compassion...

Acting CFPB Director Bessent Halts $5 Overdraft Cap, Casting Doubt On Future Of CFPB Rules

  By Ray Birch WASHINGTON—Is the $5 cap on overdraft fees dead? Scott Bessent, Treasury Secretary and current acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has mandated a suspension of a wide range of activities at the agency. And among those activities halted is the imposing of the $5 OD cap for financial institutions over $10 billion in assets, POLITICO reported. In an email to agency staff on Monday, which was obtained by POLITICO, Bessent instructed CFPB personnel to cease all rulemaking activities and suspend the effective dates of any rules that had not yet taken effect. He further directed employees to stop all activities related to enforcement actions, litigation, and public communications. As CUToday.info  reported , the CFPB late last year issued a final rule on overdrafts analysts forecast will likely drive many financial institutions over $10 billion in assets to drop their OD charge to a miniscule $5, and then eventually force all other FI...
