Abstract

The mortgage servicing industry has been living with the 2013 Mortgage Servicing Rules since its January 10, 2014 effective date. Life under these rules has been very painful to the industry. Just when things did not seem like they could get any worse, on December 15, 2014 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) released its 2014 Proposed Mortgage Servicing Rules. On August 4, 2016 those proposed rules were finalized (the “2016 Mortgage Servicing Rules”) and the mortgage industry has approximately one year to develop systems and procedures to comply with these new rules.

The 2016 Mortgage Servicing Rules contain major changes in the way loans must be serviced. Major areas of change include the following: successors in interest; definition of delinquency, handling of early intervention, loss mitigation and periodic statements where one or more of the borrowers is in bankruptcy, and actions that must be taken where the new rules conflict with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. With these changing regulations, it is imperative to stay up to date and have a clear understanding of the requirements and regulations in order to remain compliant and efficient. In addition, there are immense technology challenges that must be overcome to comply with the new rules.

In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will help you understand the important issues surrounding CFPB's changes to Mortgage Servicing Rules, identifying best practices to ensure compliance.

Key Topics include:

- 1024.41 Requirements and Regulations
- Understanding what makes a loan modification package complete
- Assessing actual damages for a claim
- Understanding who are successors in interest and the rights they have
- When is a loan delinquent and what requirements flow from that date
- How and when should the early intervention, loss mitigation and periodic statements requirements be fulfilled when a borrower is in bankruptcy.
- How can a servicer comply with both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the CFPB's mortgage servicing requirements.
- What new technology challenges are imposed by the 2016 Mortgage Servicing Rules
