Has anyone caught their mortgage or HELOC lender in RESPA or TILA violations? If so, what were they? And what was the response from your lender?

Also, did you do it yourself, or pay an attorney or mod company to do a "forensic audit" of your loan documents?

I work for a mortgage company, I process loans and do compliance. As SASSY asked, what do you feel has been violated?


I"m just looking for leverage and trying to figure out what things may be common violations. I've read that 70% of mortgage loans violate at least one RESPA or TILA regulation.

Not really. Maybe a few years ago but not anymore. There are too many checks put in place to make sure this doesn't happen.

Sorry...I don't think it's a way to go. And even if they did violate something, it doesn't make you exempt from paying them back. You still borrowered the money from them.

Refresh my memory...tell me again why you're trying to settle with them?

Hi, Actually it is true that there are violations that make a loan recindable in approximately 40% of loans. I think 70% is very high. In order for the loan to be recindable it has to be less than three years old, cant be purchase money. There are a lot of potential violations. However, if what you want is to work out a loan modification you dont really need a violation. I have been very successfull at getting mods for my clients. I think audits have become a big thing to do and of course pay for.
