One of the emerging supervisory issues for state-regulated mortgage lenders is whether there should be some sort of formal ombudsman office or function within the Multistate Mortgage Committee or at least perhaps an informal “feedback loop” in the context of a multistate examination, according to lender representatives, industry attorneys and state officials themselves. “Right now, there is no formal or even informal feedback loop for licensed companies who are dealing with MMC issues to go back to the Conference of State Bank Supervisors or American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators to talk about issues in general,” explained Donald Lampe, partner and head of the financial services regulatory and compliance practice at Dykema.
