Defusing Fair Lending Risk and the HMDA Data Expansion
Product Details
Recorded December 10, 2014
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice and other regulators have stepped up their pursuit of fair lending violation, bringing more than a dozen actions and levying hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. And now the CFPB has proposed significantly expanding the data it collects under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, one of the primary tools used for sniffing out possible fair lending cases.
The CFPB’s HMDA proposal would greatly expand the amount of data, number of reporters and risk associated with this crucial fair lending investigation tool. It would nearly double the data points that must be provided, including much more underwriting detail. It would expand the types of loans covered, adding reverse mortgages and home-equity lines of credit. It would require more reporting by nonbanks as any lender making 25 or more loans per year would have to file. And it would increase the frequency of reporting for the largest lenders, requiring them to file quarterly rather than annually.
If you add in the expanded HMDA data collection and increased regulatory scrutiny to an already tight mortgage underwriting environment, the risk of running afoul of fair lending laws has never been greater.
