CFPB report focuses on financial products
The CFPB issued a “Supervisory Highlights” report on Monday that focused on recent examiner observations of several financial products.
Among other things, examiners flagged issues related to auto servicing, consumer reporting, credit card account management, debt collection and mortgage origination. With regard to consumer reporting, the CFPB cited instances of furnishers’ failure to: conduct reasonable investigations of indirect disputes, report the results of direct dispute investigations to consumers, correct and update credit report information, and establish and implement reasonable policies and procedures concerning the accuracy and integrity of furnished information.

- CRE Lending: Property Types, Lease Structures and Other Non-Financial Risks, May 18, webinar — As banks continue to deal directly with CRE loans as a major portion of their loan portfolios, plus indirectly through income-producing or rental real estate holdings that affect customers, it is important to “get beyond the numbers” and assess the qualitative or non-financial factors that influence CRE performance over time.
- Payday Lending and Regulation OO 2022 Update, May 18, webinar — Most depository institutions do not originate large volumes of “covered loans.” For those with limited covered loans, it is reasonable to tweak the product line-up to avoid the massive new rules. How do you evade the requirements of a regulation that contains two separate requirements (Sections 1041.5(e) and .13) that prohibit evasion? That is one of the many questions answered in this program.
