November 21st, 2024
The CFPB proposed new mortgage servicing rules to prioritize borrower assistance over foreclosure, streamline loss mitigation processes, and improve communication. Key changes include limiting fees during reviews, simplifying applications, and requiring clear, multilingual notices. Aimed at reducing preventable foreclosures and enhancing transparency, the rules may take effect by late 2025 or early 2026, pending finalization.
