An Inside Mortgage Finance Webinar Held
Thursday, April 28, 2011
The federal regulators’ new consent orders and upcoming state attorneys general settlements are pushing mortgage servicing reforms on the industry at a fast pace. Listen to this stellar panel for an interactive discussion of the latest servicing regulatory developments. You'll learn from the different perspectives of a servicer, a state regulator exec and two legal experts. The mortgage servicing landscape has changed dramatically in recent days with the announcement of federal banking agency consent decrees with 14 major mortgage servicers. And looming on the horizon are more agreements and settlements with state regulators that will further redefine if not revamp mortgage servicing practices in the months ahead. Find out what these new and planned regulatory developments will mean for the servicing business and its players.
