The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Aug. 10 proposed two sets of rules imposing new requirements on mortgage servicers.
The first set of rules -- issued under the Truth in Lending Act -- would require servicers to provide clear monthly mortgage statements that include a breakdown of payments by principal, interest, fees, and escrow; the amount of and due date of the next payment; recent transaction activity; and warnings about fees.
The second set of rules -- issued under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act -- would impose requirements for handling consumer accounts, correcting errors, and evaluating borrowers for options to avoid foreclosure.
