Americas Watchdog Blasts The US Congress for Not Requiring Banks & Mortgage Bankers To Disclose A Huge Mortgage Kickback Called A Yield Spread Premium As Congress considers mortgage reform, Americas Watchdog and its National Mortgage Complaint Center are demanding that mortgage bankers and banks be required by Congress to disclose a huge mortgage kick back called a "yield spread premium". The problem: the biggest campaign donations to the US House of Representatives and the US Senate Banking Committees, come from banks, mortgage bankers and home builders acting as mortgage lenders. What is a yield spread premium? A yield spread premium is a kick back banks and mortgage bankers get for inflating a consumers interest rate/monthly mortgage payment. Banks and mortgage bankers do not have to disclose these kick backs even though they get them. Mortgage brokers do have to disclose this fee. - 2008-02-11
