RESPA Webinar Series: Be Ready Should the New CFPB Knock on Your Door

By: Phillip L. Schulman, Holly Spencer Bunting  

It has been seven months since the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“Bureau”) took over the regulatory and oversight responsibility for the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”). While the Bureau has made it an immediate priority to create combined RESPA and Truth in Lending disclosure forms, the Bureau also is gearing up its RESPA enforcement efforts. Given the Bureau’s primary mission of protecting consumers in carrying out federal consumer financial laws, it is incumbent on all settlement service providers – mortgage lenders and brokers, real estate brokers, title insurance and escrow providers, appraisers, and builders – to ensure their business practices comply with RESPA. Before the Bureau comes knocking on your door, it is time to brush up on RESPA.

The K&L Gates Consumer Financial Services Group will be hosting two complimentary webinars examining Section 8 of RESPA and the current RESPA issues being addressed by the Bureau.
