Title: Re: Referral fee confusion
|
I agree that the "referral fee" is probably illegal under RESPA -- no matter where you put it on the HUD-1. The party charging the fee may be confident that they will never be caught and held accountable. However, the bank will be. Your ultimate solution may be to forego the business and tell them to get another settlement agent.
