Banks are increasingly worried about staying compliant with all the recent regulations they’re contending with – and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act is at the top of the list.
Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia circuit ruled late Wednesday, as expected, to deny CFPB Deputy Director Leandra English’s personal legal bid soliciting a preliminary injunction to unseat Acting Director Mick Mulvaney and install her as the acting director.
It’s possible that mortgage lenders and servicers will see the CFPB during the tenure of Acting Director Mick Mulvaney use the five-year “look back” the bureau is required to perform to make significant changes to a pair of major rulemakings: the Truth in Lending Act/Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act integrated disclosure rule (TRID) and the ability-to-repay rule.
Mortgage rates are back up for the week ending Jan. 11, 2018, following Treasury yields, according to the latest results of the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Thursday morning.
CFPB Acting Director Mick Mulvaney has less than 200 calendar days left to occupy the director’s chair, so industry officials have been wondering what they can expect from the bureau as long as he’s in charge.
