RESPA Section 8 and bank regulators

Answered by:

Question:

We are not examined by the CFPB. Should we be worried about Section 8 violations?

Answer:

Most of the big eye-popping cases involve entities regulated by the CFPB. The RESPA Interagency Examination Procedures, which are used by all of the federal financial institution regulators, include Section 8 in the scope of the procedures. Any financial institution can have Section 8 issues. One of the most recent cases covered in the program is an FDIC case.
