CFPB ISSUES NEW RULES FOR MORTGAGE SERVICERS

摘要

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued rules on January 17, 2013, to establish new, strong protections for struggling homeowners facing foreclosure. The rules also protect mortgage borrowers from costly surprises and runarounds by their servicers. "For many borrowers, dealing with mortgage servicers has meant unwelcome surprises and constantly getting the runaround. In too many cases, it has led to unnecessary foreclosures," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "Our rules ensure fair treatment for all borrowers and establish strong protections for those struggling to save their homes."
