Financial institutions are subject to an overwhelming – and changing – myriad of federal laws that deal with real estate loan collections and servicing, including the Truth in Lending Act (Reg Z), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Reg X), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (and UDAAP), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (Reg V), and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Reg B). Within the last few years, there have been many important changes to these laws regarding restrictions on collection procedures, mortgage default notices, successors in interest, timing restrictions on mortgage foreclosures, and new bankruptcy protections.
This webinar will explain the federal rules regarding real estate loan collection and foreclosure, and situations when small lenders and servicers are exempt from these rules. It also will address foreclosure alternatives, such as restructurings, short sales, and deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Practical tips for ensuring compliance with these complex mortgage collection rules will be provided.
