NAFCU’s Mortgage Comment Letters; November 7 Webcast on CFPB’s Latest Mortgage Proposals

Written by Shari R. Pogach, Regulatory Paralegal

The CFPB rolled out its various mortgage proposals at such a fast and furious clip that many of the comment deadlines for its proposals were on the same day.  So how is this making life easier for folks?  I feel like we all have an answer for this but are too polite to say it out loud.  Today we thought we’d highlight NAFCU’s comment letters in response to some of the proposals:

September 7, 2012:  High-Cost/HOEPA Proposal;

September 21, 2012:  Definition of Finance Charge;

October 9, 2012:  Mortgage Servicing Proposals;

October 15, 2012:  Higher-Risk Appraisal Proposal;

October 15, 2012:  Regulation B Appraisal Proposal; and

October 16, 2012:  Mortgage Loan Originator Proposal.

These comment letters can be a great way to get a summary of the proposed changes and help identify future headaches for your credit union if the rules are adopted as proposed.
