This is an interesting case out of Florida alleging MERS violated the RICO statute. If this suit is successful, it will have significant ramifications in other states.

Conflict between New Jersey and Respa disclosure requirements

N.J. regulator finds conflict between RESPA, state disclosure requirements

Thomas Considine, commissioner of New Jersey’s Department of Banking and Insurance notified lenders and title agents that RESPA’s new disclosure requirements do not comply with state law. He stated that the department will recommend future amendments to state law to conform to the federal regulations, but until then, industry members are still to comply with both federal and state laws. Read on to find out how this can be done.

(8/23/2010)

The Department of Banking and Insurance commissioner in New Jersey issued a bulletin on Aug. 2 to clarify fee disclosure requirements under New Jersey law while maintaining compliance with the new Good Faith Estimate (GFE) and HUD-1 Settlement Statement forms. 

Under Bulletin No. 10-17, Commissioner Thomas Considine said the new RESPA forms that became effective on Jan. 1 as part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) final rule are not consistent with what is required for fee disclosures under the New Jersey Administrative Code.

Federal Reserve Bans Yield Spread Premiums

Federal Reserve Bans Yield Spread Premiums
press release
   

The Federal Reserve Board on Monday announced final rules to protect mortgage borrowers from unfair, abusive, or deceptive lending practices that can arise from loan originator compensation practices. The new rules apply to mortgage brokers and the companies that employ them, as well as mortgage loan officers employed by depository institutions and other lenders.

Today, lenders commonly pay loan originators more compensation if the borrower accepts an interest rate higher than the rate required by the lender (commonly referred to as a “yield spread premium”). Under the final rule, however, a loan originator may not receive compensation that is based on the interest rate or other loan terms. This will prevent loan originators from increasing their own compensation by raising the consumers’ loan costs, such as by increasing the interest rate or points. Loan originators can continue to receive compensation that is based on a percentage of the loan amount, which is a common practice.

The final rule also prohibits a loan originator that receives compensation directly from the consumer from also receiving compensation from the lender or another party. In consumer testing, the Board found that consumers generally are not aware of the payments lenders make to loan originators and how those payments can affect the consumer’s total loan cost. The new rule seeks to ensure that consumers who agree to pay the originator directly do not also pay the originator indirectly through a higher interest rate, thereby paying more in total compensation than they realize.

Additionally, the final rule prohibits loan originators from directing or “steering” a consumer to accept a mortgage loan that is not in the consumer’s interest in order to increase the originator’s compensation. The rule will preserve consumer choice by ensuring that consumers can choose from loan options that include the loan with the lowest rate and the loan with the least amount of points and origination fees, rather than the loans that maximize the originator’s compensation.
