Is it just a matter of time until insurance companies tell us where to live, what to make out houses out of, and what, exactly, we’re allowed to plant in our yards? We may be entering that world. Lenders and vendors live via rules and regulations. I mention this because attorney Brian Levy really doesn’t like the LO Compensation Rule. In fact, in his latest Mortgage Musing take down of the rule, he says it is “brutal.” Levy offers his thoughts about the CFPB proposal to rescind the LO Comp Rule as well as the recently filed LO Comp class action case against loanDepot (reported in Chrisman Commentary last Thursday). (You can sign up to receive Brian’s Mortgage Musing directly here.) While we’re talking regulations, Weiner Brodsky Kider PC did a write up on how the CFPB terminated a consent order that it had entered into with a Florida-based mortgage servicer concerning allegations that the company had failed to inform borrowers of foreclosure protections while actively proceeding with foreclosures against them and that the company had violated a previous consent order.
