Examinations – the Most Common Issues Leading to Enforcement

The vast majority of mortgage brokers and lenders come through their banking department examination with a few problems to resolve. However, there are always some companies that have a major issue that is brought to light during the examination and leads to an enforcement action. You don't want to be one of them.

Which are the most common issues that lead to an enforcement action?

1. Unlicensed activity;
2. Material misstatements in loan documents;
3. Failure to produce documents;
4. GFEs that do not disclose all of the fees;
5. GFEs that are not consistent with HUD-1s;
6. APRs not attempted or seriously different from the required calculation.

Make a New Year’s resolution to look through your files to make sure you don’t find these errors. It could cost you plenty.
