1 September 2014 Servicing Issues Update Regulatory Developments 1. Future Rulemaking. CFPB has indicated that it is reviewing its mortgage servicing regulations and may issue additional amendments and clarifications. The Bureau has not explicitly indicated the topics that it may address. ABA has been communicating with CFPB regarding rolling delinquencies, contract collections, periodic statements for charged-off loans, tax liens, foreclosure by senior lienholders, and other issues. We anticipate that CFPB will issue a final rule that addresses the intersection of bankruptcy law, the FCRA, and the new servicing rules. News coverage of zombie foreclosures has also increased in recent months, and CFPB has signaled that it is examining this issue. 2. Servicing Transfer Guidance. On August 19 th CFPB issued Bulletin which updates and replaces previous CFPB guidance on transfers of mortgage servicing. The revised Bulletin includes examples of transfer-related policies and procedures, examples of deficient transfer-related practices, and FAQs. As with CFPB s prior guidance, the Bulletin uses the term transfer to refer to transfers of servicing rights as well as transfers of servicing responsibilities through subservicing or whole loan servicing arrangements. ABA has created a summary of the Guidance and has updated its comprehensive outline of the servicing rules. 3. Draft FHA Servicing Handbook. On September 11 th, FHA requested feedback on the draft Servicing section of its Single Family Housing Policy Handbook. Comments are due October 17 th. When published, the section will incorporate all FHA servicing policy into a single source. 4. FHA Elimination of Post-Payment Interest Charges. On August 26 th, HUD issued a final rule requiring that monthly interest on a mortgage loan be calculated based on the actual UPB of the loan as of the date a payment is received, not as of the next installment due date. The rule becomes effective on January 15, Previously, HUD rules permitted lenders to treat each payment as if it had been made on the scheduled monthly due date even if the borrower made the payment early or late. The new restriction on post-payment interest charges is intended to align HUD rules with CFPB regulations. The ATR/QM rule and the HOEPA rule for high-cost loans would have effectively prohibited the origination of FHA loans beginning January 21, 2015 unless FHA changed its practice related to post-payment interest charges. 1

2 September 2014 While post-payment interest charges will be prohibited, ABA understands that Ginnie Mae security holders will continue to be entitled to interest through the end of the month and that the issuer must make up the shortfall from its own funds. 5. Debt Sales. On August 4 th, the OCC issued Bulletin , which addresses the application of consumer protection requirements and safe and sound banking practices to consumer debt-sale arrangements with third parties. The guidance applies to mortgages and home-equity loans as well as other types of consumer debt. The guidance discusses appropriate internal policies and procedures, performance of due diligence, and applicable consumer protection laws and regulations. Other Servicing Items of Interest 1. Consumer Complaints. Servicing issues represent 85% of all mortgage-related complaints submitted to the CFPB, according to the Bureau s March 2014 Consumer Response Annual Report. All mortgage-related complaints (including application, underwriting, settlement, and servicing) comprised the largest percentage of complaints (37%) that consumers submitted to the CFPB. The Annual Report describes common servicing complaints, including confusion regarding fees assessed in connection with foreclosure and concerns relating to reinstatement. This report, combined with recent speeches by senior CFPB officials, strongly suggests that servicing operations will face continued supervisory and enforcement actions over the next year. See Appendix A, below, for relevant excerpts of the report. 2. Bankruptcy and the 120-Day Rule. ABA is working with outside counsel to create a member resource that explains how the 120-Day Rule applies in various bankruptcy situations. Anticipated topics will include: How does the automatic stay impact the 120- day period? How does the 120-day period apply if the debt has been discharged? What if the borrower surrenders the property as part of the bankruptcy proceedings? May the borrower submit a loss mitigation application after reaffirming the debt? Contact Krista Shonk if there are additional questions or issues that you would like ABA to address in this new resource. 3. Servicing and Third-Party Management. Much has been said about regulatory expectations for vendor management. The OCC s updated Mortgage Banking Handbook provides often overlooked information regarding management of mortgage servicing providers. See Appendix B, below, for the relevant excerpts of the Handbook. 2

5 3. Results 3.1 Complaints handled in 2013 Between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the CFPB received approximately 163,700 consumer complaints. 10 FIGURE 2: CONSUMER COMPLAINTS BY PRODUCT 11 1 This analysis excludes multiple complaints submitted by a given consumer on the same issue and whistleblower tips. All data are current as of January 1, Percentages may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding. CONSUMER RESPONSE ANNUAL REPORT (JANUARY 1 DECEMBER 31, 2013) 12

6 Approximately 54% of all consumer complaints were submitted through the CFPB s website and 11% via telephone calls. Referrals accounted for 24% of all complaints received. The rest were submitted by mail, , and fax. The tables and figures presented below show complaints by type, actions taken, company responses, and consumers feedback about company responses Consumers mortgage complaints Figures 3 and 4 show the types of mortgage complaints reported by consumers for the approximately 59,900 mortgage complaints received by the CFPB.

Consumers with successfully completed loan modifications have complained that some servicers do not amend derogatory credit reporting accrued by consumers during trial periods even when documents provided to the consumers by servicers indicated that they CONSUMER RESPONSE ANNUAL REPORT (JANUARY 1 DECEMBER 31, 2013) 14

8 would do so. Consumers seeking short sales have reported that second-lien holders refuse to accept or subordinate in a short sale, whereas some consumers who do obtain a short sale have concerns with the loan account being incorrectly reported as a foreclosure. Consumers facing foreclosure have expressed concern and confusion about fees assessed in connection with the foreclosure process. The fees often seem to represent a substantial barrier to a consumer s ability to reinstate the loan and avoid foreclosure, as many servicers will not roll the fees into the loan balance. Consumers are then required to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars, in addition to the loan reinstatement amount, to avoid foreclosure, and the amount of fees the consumer must pay to reinstate the loan can be confusing. Finally, foreclosure fees are sometimes listed as one line-item on a reinstatement quote, with no itemization provided unless the consumer specifically requests more information on what fees are being assessed. Other common types of mortgage complaints address issues related to making payments, including loan servicing, payments, or escrow accounts. For example, consumers express concern over difficulties they experience when the servicing of their loans is transferred, including complaints about fees charged by the prior servicer, unexplained escrow deficiencies, issues with the new servicer accepting the previous servicer s modification, and communication between the old and new servicer, especially when loss mitigation efforts are ongoing. For consumers applying for a mortgage loan, consumers raise issues related to interest rate-lock agreements, such as lenders refusing to honor rate-locks, or assessing penalties when the loan does not close. Conclusion Listening to consumers and reviewing and analyzing their complaints is an integral part of the CFPB s work in understanding issues in the financial marketplace, and helping the market work better for consumers. The information shared by consumers and companies throughout the complaint process informs the Bureau about business practices that may pose risks to consumers and helps the Bureau in its work to supervise companies, enforce Federal consumer financial laws, and write better rules and regulations.

9 Appendix B Selected Excerpts from OCC Mortgage Banking Handbook Third-Party Arrangements (February 14, 2014)

10 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Washington, DC 20219

11 Third-Party Arrangements Vendors That Are Not Servicers A servicer may employ outside vendors to perform various tasks. These tasks may include processing tax and insurance payments, providing lock-box services, conducting property inspections, performing legal work on foreclosures, or acting as custodian for loan documents. When delegating authority of business functions to third parties, a bank remains responsible for the consequences of the third parties actions. Among other considerations, a bank must ensure that third parties comply with applicable laws, regulations (including those pertaining to safety and soundness, privacy, and consumer protection), and bank policy and business practice standards, and do not damage the bank s reputation. While a bank may use third parties, including vendors, to assist or control costs, these arrangements involve an added level of risk. A bank s arrangements with third parties should comply with internal standards, as well as OCC guidance and applicable law, including new Regulation X requirements that are effective in January A bank s policies and procedures should address the management and oversight of the life cycle of these arrangements and should cover initial selection and due diligence process. negotiation of acceptable contract provisions. outsourcing of functions. oversight and monitoring of vendors, including scorecards and reports measuring performance against key indicators, a certification or approval process, and on-site visits. periodic assessment of performance and resolution of deficiencies. monitoring of the financial strength of vendors. internal audits or other independent reviews of the effectiveness of the bank s outsourcing program and the quality of the vendor risk management program. Third-Party Servicers A bank can incur significant loss exposure if it does not properly manage its arrangements with third-party servicers or sub-servicers. The practices of a third party become the bank s responsibility. This risk can be greater if a third party does not have a proven record. Problems arising from a third-party arrangement can result from negligence, incompetent 62

12 servicing staff, or simply poor servicing practices. Occasionally, losses result from fraudulent activities such as diversion of loan payoffs, escrow funds, or principal and interest payments. Beginning in January 2014, Regulation X requires servicers to have specified policies and procedures that facilitate the oversight of, and compliance by, third-party service providers. More generally, examples of servicer activities and red flags that banks should detect and eliminate to prevent losses include excessive delay in the servicer s remittance of mortgage loan payments or prepayments so the servicer can earn additional float income. diversion of escrow payments intended for payment of taxes or insurance to the servicer s use. retention of funds on full prepayments while representing to the bank that the borrower continues to make monthly payments. missing, lost, damaged, or out-of-date records. sending nonsufficient funds checks to the bank. canceling insurance or bond coverage to save money. misrepresenting the level of delinquencies and foreclosures. poor management of delinquencies, tax and insurance payments, PMI claims, or ARM adjustments. Banks should be aware that some state laws view the servicer as an agent of the owner of the mortgage loans and thereby hold the owner liable for the actions of the servicer. While some states regulate servicers, the regulations usually focus on consumer protection rather than safety and soundness. A bank should perform due diligence and ongoing monitoring with any new third-party servicer to minimize the risk of problems and losses. Initial Due Diligence on Servicers and Sub-Servicers Before entering into a contractual arrangement with a third-party servicer or sub-servicer, a bank should perform an appropriate review for third parties, including obtaining financial and historical background information, such as Dun and Bradstreet reports. audited financial statements and SAS 115, Communicating Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit, reports. attestations on servicing from external auditors, such as Regulation AB or Uniform Single Attestation Program (USAP) reports. servicer ratings from ratings agencies. confirming the servicer s approval and check for any recent adverse audit findings or suspensions by HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, and all PMI companies. Obtain ratings from these entities for the servicer s default and investor reporting and remitting functions. obtaining investor (including private investor) seller/servicer reports, as well as the servicer s internal audit reports and QC reports on servicing functions. 63

13 performing an on-site due diligence visit and determining the adequacy of the servicer s internal audit function. checking the adequacy of the servicer s errors and omissions (E&O) insurance and surety bond coverage. reviewing established quantifiable criteria, such as the number of loan repurchases; the number of times reports or cash remittances are late; and delinquency, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and real estate owned rates. If, after performing these reviews, the servicer is acceptable to the bank, it should enter into a written servicing agreement with the third party. The servicing agreement should require the third party to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and other applicable requirements. clearly specify the servicing policies and procedures the servicer is to use for all common or anticipated servicing situations. permit on-site audits of the servicer at any normal business time by the bank, its agents, or the OCC. require the use of separate deposit accounts at approved financial banks for both principal and interest and escrow payments. The deposit account statement should be transmitted directly to the bank. request that companies providing the PMI make all claim checks payable to the bank or notify the bank of payments to the servicer. allow the bank to have direct access to the MIS service bureau or servicer s MIS department for audit purposes. specify the dates and frequencies for remittance of principal and interest and payoff funds to the bank. state the servicing fees and the manner of payment to the servicer, including identifying the recipient of ancillary income and float revenue. permit termination of the servicing agreement for cause and outline the transfer of the mortgage servicing files, records, insurance policies, computer records, and other related documents to the designee of the bank. The definition of for cause should be clearly defined to include fraud, embezzlement, diversion of mortgage payments or payoffs, failure to follow any provision of the servicing agreement, and continued careless servicing after the bank has sent a formal written warning to the servicer. permit the transfer of the same servicing records at any time without cause by payment of a stipulated termination fee to the servicer. require direct notification to the bank for cancellation or nonrenewal of E&O insurance, and/or surety bond. Ongoing Monitoring of Servicer Performance and Audit A bank should implement the following monitoring and audit procedures to minimize the risk of loss from a servicer. If applicable, the bank may also use these procedures, as appropriate, for its oversight responsibility over primary servicers in its role as master servicer: 64

14 Review monthly remittance reports and other computer reports from the servicers to detect discrepancies and errors. Review and reconcile bank statements monthly against borrowers payments and remittances from the servicer and escrows held by the servicer. Perform annual desk reviews and on-site reviews of the servicer, and have tracking reports on the status of corrective actions related to these reviews. Perform quarterly comparisons of the servicer s delinquency, foreclosure, real estate owned, and prepayment rates to the national averages from the MBA delinquency survey and perform any other trend and peer analysis. Verify, on an annual basis, mortgage loans, property owners, and loan balances by direct mail. Conduct annual reviews of the servicer s (1) external audit reports and attestations and (1) financial reports. Review, on an annual basis, the servicer s internal audit and QC reports on servicing. Check the servicer s E&O insurance and surety bond coverage annually. Verify, through annual reviews, continued approval of the servicer by PMI companies, HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Obtain ratings by these entities on the servicer s default management and investor reporting and remitting functions. Obtain, on an annual basis, investor seller/servicer reports. Perform annual review of servicer ratings from rating agencies. Review results of servicer contingency plan testing, as well as the bank s testing of its own contingency plans in collaboration with the servicer. Review the servicer s compliance self-assessments. When a bank uncovers problems, it should take immediate action. If the bank detects fraud or diversion of funds, it should move immediately to transfer servicing payments and bank accounts to its name or that of another servicer. For less serious problems, a bank should determine the best solution to correct deficiencies. Banks, however, should not hesitate to transfer servicing for cause if the servicer does not follow any of the provisions of the servicing agreement or does not promptly correct problems after notice. 65
