Mortgage servicer settles with CFPB

The Bureau has issued a consent order against Seterus, Inc. (Seterus) and Kyanite Services, Inc. (Kyanite), as Seterus’s successor in interest, based on the Bureau’s finding that Seterus violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (CFPA) and Regulation X. The Bureau found that Seterus’s actions resulted in delaying or depriving some borrowers of a reasonable opportunity to get their loss mitigation applications completed and evaluated and in some borrowers' failing to timely receive protections against prohibited foreclosure activities to which they were legally entitled.

The order requires Kyanite to pay $4,932,525 in total redress to approximately 11,866 of the consumers to whom Seterus sent a defective acknowledgment notice. The order also imposes a $500,000 civil money penalty and includes injunctive relief that would apply in the event Kyanite engages in mortgage servicing. At its height, Seterus, a former mortgage servicer based in North Carolina, serviced approximately 500,000 residential mortgage loans. Seterus is no longer operating. On February 28, 2019, after the relevant period covered by the Bureau’s investigation, Seterus was sold and its entire mortgage servicing portfolio was transferred to Nationstar Mortgage LLC, doing business as Mr. Cooper (with which the Bureau reached a separate settlement earlier this month.
