On Thu, June 23, 2016, expert speaker Kris D. Kully, a partner in Mayer Brown's Washington DC office and a member of the Consumer Financial Services group, will present a Live Webinar titled “Mortgage Loan Originator Compensation: CFPB's Targets and Lingering Questions” to help understand the enforcement agenda of the CFPB in 2016 while providing some concrete answers to the confusion surrounding mortgage loan officer compensation.
In December last year the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) deputy assistant director for originations, Calvin Hagins, spoke about four contentious areas that examiners will target in 2016. At a mortgage conference in California, Hagins speculated how CFPB examiners will “zero-in” at loan originator compensation plans, Real Estate Settlement Procedure Act (RESPA) integrated disclosure requirements, and compliance with ability-to-repay rules. He also mentioned the scrutiny expected on the structure of marketing services agreements.
Loan officer compensation has long been a bone of contention in the mortgage industry, especially with lenders complaining about paying illegal money to loan originators. Last year, a few mortgage banks have been penalized with steep fines for allegedly paying bonuses and higher commissions to loan originators with the intention to steer consumers into higher-cost mortgages. It’s illegal to pay mortgage brokers and loan officers based on the terms of the loan to trick consumers to take out a loan with a higher rate of interest or higher fees.
The CFPB is also strict about the fact that lenders should verify the borrower’s ability to repay their mortgages. The bureau is looking at the implementation of the ability-to-repay rule based on eight checklist factors, which includes credit history, debt obligations, employment status, income and assets among others.
Since Loan Originator Compensation compliance is one of the primary examination and enforcement targets in 2016 for the CFPB, this Live Webinar by EliFinancial will provide needed knowledge and guidance in order to comply with these complex and challenging regulations. While some regulatory principles that seemed clear at first look cloudy again and many lingering questions abound, it is important that financial and banking professional attend this event to get a better understanding of these new rules and enforcement strategies of the bureau.
