Product Details
The financial landscape has changed. Join us for an overview of the new bureau, which Congress has just approved in the new Dodd-Frank bill. The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection’s mission is to regulate financial products and services and the financial institutions that offer them. Insured depository institutions and credit unions with assets of $10 billion or more are subject to bureau rules and enforcement. Everyone else, including non-bank mortgage brokers, lenders and servicers, is subject to the bureau’s rules and non-banks face bureau enforcement actions. Many are saying that this new bureaucracy will have an aggressive pro-consumer approach.
This agency will have sole rule-writing authority for consumer protection laws (except CRA) and for abusive, unfair and deceptive practices. On its full plate are: origination standards, minimum underwriting standards, re-defining high-cost loans, servicing practices and appraisal procedures, as well as enforcement of TILA, RESPA and any new regulations. These changes affect everyone and just about everything in the mortgage business.
Attend this very timely Webinar on July 22 to get an expert heads up on the big changes ahead. Three top industry lawyers will discuss the new bureau. Included is an overview of Dodd-Frank—impact and strategies for mortgage compliance; effective dates, compliance sequencing, what to do now; the coming debate: the statute v. to-be-written regulations and special parameters of BCFP rule-writing powers.
