“The Consumer Bureau is well aware that credit
unions were not one of the causes of the recent
financial crisis. You were not underwriting the bad
loans that brought down the housing market.
Instead you were upholding sound underwriting
standards…”

Hinweis der Redaktion
Introduction: The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau perodically issues Supervisory Highlights to communicate areas of concern, which generally mean that these areas will become subject to greater scrutinization. Even though most credit unions are not regulated by the CFPB, prudential regulators take cues from the CFPB and frequently CFPB concerns become concerns for all participants in the industry. In Supervisory Highlights: Fall 2012, the CFPB calls out the importance of an effective Compliance Management System (CMS) as well as the importance to managing affiliates.An effective CMS has four key ingredients. Failing to incorporate all the components can lead to systemic violations of federal regulatory policies. In addition to looking for all the required components, a typical exam evaluates both the application and understanding by managers and employees.
Important considerations to ensure an effective CMS include:
Depending on the circumstances, you could be held responsible for a service provider’s legal violations. Make sure that you understand an affiliate’s business practices and monitor the services provided to ensure that they are in compliance.
From prepared remarks at a meeting with the Credit Union National Association, February 27, 2013.As we review the new regulations, you will note several exemptions have been made for community lenders like yourselves, to help lessen the compliance burden these rules bring.
Ability to Repay Criteria: current or reasonably expected income or assets; current employment status; the monthly payment on the mortgage transaction - guidance to calculate monthly mortgage payments is provided for adjustable rate mortgages, interest only loans, negative amortization loans and balloon loans; the monthly payment on any simultaneous loan; the monthly payment for mortgage-related obligations; current debt obligations, alimony, and child support; the monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income; and credit history.Product Features: • substantially equal periodic payments that do not allow for negative amortization, principal deferral or result in balloon payments; loan terms that does not exceed thirty years; points and fees that do not exceed 3 percent of the loan amount for loans greater than or equal to $100,000. (Thresholds for smaller loans apply); proper calculation of the mortgage payment, using the maximum rate that will apply in the first five years of the transaction; and overall debt ratio (back-end ratio) that does not exceed 43 percent

Points and fees - Thresholds for smaller loans apply; proper calculation of the mortgage payment, using the maximum rate that will apply in the first five years of the transaction;
Due to the tight credit market and the fact that the CFPB believes that there are many instances in which borrowers can afford a debt-to-income ratio greater than 43%, a secondary set of temporary QM loans was created.Presumption of Compliance:There are differing levels of compliance depending on the APR. First lien qualified mortgages with APRs less than or equal to the average prime rate plus 1.5 percentage points or second lien qualified mortgages with APRs less than or equal to the average prime rate plus 3.5 percentage points have a conclusive presumption of compliance or a “safe harbor”. Other qualified mortgages with APRs above the defined thresholds are presumed to comply with the ability to repay rules, but a consumer could rebut that presumption under certain circumstances.Temporary set of QM: This temporary provision will phase out over time as the various agencies develop their own QM rules or as long as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are under conservatorship, but not to exceed 7 years.
Rural Balloon Criteria: a property in a designated, rural or underserved area; originated by an institution which has less than $2 billion in assets; originates at least 50 percent of their mortgages in rural or underserved areas; originates no more than 500 first mortgages per year; and holds the respective loan in its portfolio for at least three years; fixed rate; amortization term no more than30 years; minimum five year term; andmeet certain standard underwriting criteria, not including the 43 percent debt to income ratio.Community Lendersdefined as: institutions with less than $2 billion in assets, originate no more than 500 first mortgage loans per year; and would hold the loans in their portfolio. In addition, all the standard qualified mortgage guidelines, except the 43 debt to income ratio would apply. Proposal also is seeking comment on allowing a higher threshold for the APR on first lien QM originated by smaller community lenders
When finalizing the ability to repay rules, the CFPB also simultaneously proposed new rulesCommunity lender has the same definition as used for rural balloon qualified mortgages:eligible institutions will have less than $2 billion in assets, originate no more than 500 first mortgage loans per year and would hold the loans in their portfolio.
Proposed Loan Exemptions: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA, FHA streamline loans; Non-profit loans; Homeownership stabilization programsComment period on new proposals ended on February 25. The assumption is that these new proposals would be finalized and effective at the same time as the rest of the QM Rules – January 10, 2014
The changes in the Truth in Lending Act relating to loan originator compensation were largely to clarify or codify existing rules. The Truth in Lending Act already prohibited basing loan originator compensation on “any of the transaction’s terms or conditions. The new rules defined Term of a Transactions : “Any right or obligation of the parties to a credit transaction.” Examples: interest rate, annual percentage rate, collateral type, prepayment penalties. To prevent evasion, the final rule also prohibits compensation based on a “proxy”.Definition of a proxy: A factor that itself is not a term of the transaction is a proxy for a term of a transaction if the factor consistently varies with a term or terms of the transaction over a significant number of transactions, and the loan originator has the ability to directly or indirectly add, drop or change. Example: A loan originator is paid a higher commission for loans held in portfolio than those sold on the secondary market. Loans with a fixed rate and five year term are held in portfolio. Loans with a fixed rate and 30 year term are sold. In this scenario, the factor, which is whether or not a loan is held in portfolio, varies with the interest rate and the loan term, which are the terms of the transaction, over a significant number of transactions. The loan originator has the ability to change the factor by advising the consumer to choose a five year term. In this example, whether or not a loans will be held in portfolio is a proxy for a term of the transaction.Pricing concessions – does allow compensation to be reduced for certain unexpected increases in settlement costsProfitability prohibition – rule does clarify that under certain conditions, profitability can be used as a basis in retirement and profit sharing plans
Upfront points and fees – the initial proposal would allow charging upfront points and fees as long as borrowers were also given information about an alternate loan that did not include upfront points and fees. The final regulations did not include this restriction. Qualified means licensed or registered as applicable under the SAFE Act (Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing). For institutions exempt from the SAFE Act, the rule requires them to ensure that their originators meet the character, fitness and criminal background standards similar to the SAFE Act and to provide appropriate training.Single premium credit insurance – products like credit life, disability etcCreditor and loan officer names and identifiers must be on the Credit Application; Note, Security Insturment;
Small Servicers - service 5,000 or fewer loans and only service mortgage loans that they or an affiliate originated or owned. If the loan is a fixed rate loan, a coupon book can be used as long as the applicable information from the regulation is contained in the payment book.Model billing statements are supplied in the regulation. Statements must contain, among other things, information on payments currently due and previously made, fees imposed, transaction actvity, application of past payments, contact information regarding delinquencies.
Model forms are given for interest rate adjustment notices. Notice is required at 210-240 days prior to the first adjustment change and thereafter required 60-120 days prior to rate adjustment. The current annual notice that must be provided for ARMs when the interest rate changed, but the payment did not, is no longer required.Payments must be credited on the day of receipt unless there will not be any harm to the consumer, including charges or negative information reported to the credit bureaus.
In general, servicers are prohibited from charging a borrower of force-placed insurance coverage unless the servicer has a reasonable basis to believe the borrower has failed to maintain coverage and the required notices have been provided to the consumer. Model forms for the notices are provided in the regulation.
Example of exceptions: Errors on payoffs must be corrected within 7 business days; Requests for information regarding the identity of and address or other relevant contact information for the owner or assignee of a mortgage loan must be provided in 7 days.
Continuity of contact: At minimum, personnel should be assigned to borrowers by the 45th day of delinquency. Personnel must be able to assist borrowers through the entire loss mitigation process, including providing accurate information to borrowers, status updates, and working with borrowers to collect all needed information. Personnel must continue to work with borrower until the borrower has made, without incurring a late charge, two consecutive mortgage payments in accordance with the terms of a permanent loss mitigation agreement or information for the foreclosure process.Loss Mitigation Procedures: Time frames: acknowledgment of loss mitigation application; time documents must be received for consideration; approval times; appeals timeframe
List is applicable to both open and closed end mortgages.CFPB or HUD will make the list available
Believing that our audience does not typically originate high cost mortgage, we did not discuss changes in these regulations.
