Pete Mills, a senior vice president at the Mortgage Bankers Association, said the registry is an “unnecessary and redundant move.” The final rule requires nonbanks to report to the CFPB any government or court orders penalizing them for violations of consumer protection laws.
The CFPB has outlined qualifications required by standard-setting organizations to be formally recognized as such. The move paves the way for the bureau’s upcoming personal financial data rights rule.
The CFPB issued a proposed rule this week to ban medical debt from credit reports. The debt isn’t an accurate predictor of loan repayment, according to CFPB Director Rohit Chopra.
The Supreme Court’s decision to remand a lawsuit involving preemption back to a lower court leaves the issue unsettled as the high court offered a framework to review preemption rather than bright-line standards.
The request for information touches on various fees associated with mortgage originations. Trade groups representing lenders are concerned that the CFPB will find that fee-disclosure standards are insufficient.
