32 REALTOR Takeaways The new rule dynamically transforms both the mortgage and settlement process We all have to get to closing to get paid-embrace the change and have a plan Communication and collaboration between all parties will be critical through out the entire contract-to-closing process REALTOR Takeaways Much more engaged with Buyer and their agent on financing timelines and meeting critical dates Proactive in clearing conditions that could cause delays and not meet the ten days prior deadline.. Appraisal-timing and ordering Title and municipal searches Loan application process and where the borrower is in the queue
33 REALTOR Takeaways Encourage Buyers to aggressively shop lenders EARLY in the process and be ready to commit to their preferred lenders at time of contract! Appreciation even small changes can have huge impact on closing without careful coordination with all service providers Ensure ALL parties are clear as to the DAY when all information is needed to meet the 3 Day Minimum CDF disclosure rule REALTOR Takeaways Have a plan for inspection, repairs and walk-thru exceptions and potential impacts of new Buyer- Seller agreements, pricing adjustments and the impact on the loan process and timely disclosure and closing
34 REALTOR Takeaways Buyer s and Buyer s Agent-don t expect to make any changes at closing Seller s and Seller s Agent-don t do anything that would require changes at closing Last minute changes and delays mean you will NOT close! Nishad Khan P.L. www.nishadkhanlaw.com
35 Outline Enforcement & Fines Marketing Service Agreements CFPB Private Right of Action & Individual Liability Two Main Powers: Investigatory & Enforcement Bureau has authority over any person, company or affiliate offering a consumer financial product or service CFPB supervises banks, credit unions and other financial companies regardless of size and industry
36 CFPB Private Right of Action & Individual Liability Two Main Powers: Investigatory & Enforcement Also has authority to supervise any non-bank that it determines is posing a risk to consumers. People not normally regulated by CFPB may still be subject to its enforcement powers Investigatory Powers CFPB has authority to conduct investigations which includes sending subpoenas and civil investigative demands (CID s). CID is a demand for testimony, documents, responses, inspections, etc. An open book investigation
37 Investigatory Powers Once CID is received the recipient is required to attend a meet and confer conference within 10 days to discuss any issues regarding compliance During the conference, parties can negotiate the scope of demands and approve terms of satisfactory compliance with the CID Investigatory Powers If the recipient wants to set aside the petition, they must do so within 20 days of receiving the demand Trying to quash the CID will make it public, along with the subsequent investigation CFPB director decides whether or not to set aside the CID
38 Enforcement Powers The bureau has the ability to commence its own civil actions and can bring its own cases in court or administratively in their own name with their own attorneys Other agencies like HUD have to present their cases to the DOJ which then reviews and brings suit CFPB does not and can bring its own cases-this is a UNIQUE and SIGNIFCANT power Enforcement Powers The bureau can file in court but also has an Office of Administrative Adjudication, which is an independent judicial office within the bureau where the ALJ s hold hearings and decide on actions This Process is appealing for CFPB because the ALJ deciding the case is an employee of the bureau, and simply makes a recommendation to the bureau s director
39 Enforcement of Powers This means the person who s enforcement division is filing a claim against you is also deciding your case A party can appeal the decision to federal court, but judges will usually give the fact finder a significant amount of deference Enforcement of Powers If the Bureau determines a law has been violated it can impose significant sanctions. The penalties include: Rescission Refund Restitution Disgorgement or Compensation for Unjust Enrichment Payment of Damages Public Notification Regarding the Violation Civil Money Penalties
40 Penalties Civil Money Penalties are Three Tiers: Tier 1-For ANY violation of a law, rule or order imposed by the CFPB, a civil penalty of $5,000 per day Tier 2-For any reckless violation of a law, rule or order $25,000 per day Penalties Civil Money Penalties are Three Tiers: Tier 3-For any violation of rule, order or law knowingly, $1,000,000 per day penalty This means if you had no idea you were violating federal consumer financial law you can still be subject to a $5,000 per day penalty
41 Statute of Limitation No Statute of Limitation Since these actions can be brought through civil course and administratively, there is not statute of limitation You can receive a letter ten years from now for something you did today They can also issue cease and desist orders during the action Marketing Service Agreements MSA: Providing general marketing services in exchange for periodic fixed fees that are not directly based on the volume of business HUD Interpretive Rule under Section 8(c)(2) of RESPA; In Re. Lighthouse Title, Inc., File No. 2014-CFPB-0015
42 In Re Lighthouse Title: What did they do wrong? Lighthouse entered MSA with understanding they would get business in return; Did not determine a fair market value for the services received; Set fees based on number of referrals received and revenues generated; In Re Lighthouse Title: What did they do wrong? Set fees based on amount paid by other title companies for the same service; Did not monitor the Advertisers to ensure it received the services
43 In Re Lighthouse Title: What could they have done? Services must be legitimate marketing/advertising services The compensation paid by the SSP to the Advertiser must not be connected with the volume or value of business Fixed monthly fee instead of fix fee per unit of business In Re Lighthouse Title: What could they have done? Obtain expert valuation on the services provided and retain in records The SSP should diligently monitor the Advertiser to make sure services are provided
