Mortgage industry participants have a ho-hum reaction to expiration of the GSE patch for QMs. One compliance officer says the industry will do just fine without it.

Nanci Weissgold, a compliance attorney, said there’s no “one-size-fits-all” answer to whether a company should self-report violations.

Patrice Ficklin appointed to interagency mortgage appraisal task force; Maine updates mortgage servicer definition; states take action on RON; GreenSky to refund $9 million in unauthorized loans.

Members of the House Financial Services Committee voiced different views on a proposal for a government-run credit reporting agency that would compete with the three big private players — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.

The bureau also has dropped pursuit of two rulemakings under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. One concerns the data points lenders must report and another is related to the public disclosure of HMDA data.

According to industry attorneys, a delay in implementation may provide the bureau an opportunity to propose substantive changes to the rule.

The bureau has clarified that prohibitions against discrimination found in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B include bias against sexual orientation and gender identity.

The CFPB had charged the Oakland, CA-based online lender with various violations under the Military Lending Act.
