Regarding the CFPBs proposed amendments to its mortgage servicing regulations: The final rule should create a deterrent to unreasonable conduct by servicers in confirming successor status by creating a privately enforceable right triggered by the homeowners submission of documentation, not the servicers additional step of confirming the persons status; the final rule should clearly state that a borrower who has obtained a permanent loan modification is eligible to apply again for loss mitigation, as the delinquency has been cured; dual tracking protections should kick in when a homeowner has submitted an initial loss mitigation application package, not when a servicer deems the package complete;The final rule should include specific requirements that the transferor servicer has an obligation to provide all documents and information that have been provided by a borrower on a loss mitigation application to the transferee servicer, including any records of the transferors discussions with borrowers about loss mitigation and any copies of loss mitigation relevant documents. The rule also should require the transferor servicer to provide a detailed list of loans with pending loss mitigation applications and should require the transferee to review the material (not just obtain it); and the CFPB should expand the force-placed insurance provisions in the mortgage servicing rule to ensure that homeowners without escrow accounts are protected from force-placed insurance abuses.
