Mortgage servicers are mandated with the responsibility of collecting payments from the mortgage borrower and transferring the payments to the loan owners (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 2016). When carrying out their responsibilities, mortgage servicers are required to comply with regulations established by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and federal consumer right law. Compliance with these regulations help in ensuring that mortgage servicers carry out their operations in a proper and legal manner. This paper examines compliance issues facing mortgage servicers in two different scenarios based on CFPB regulation and federal consumer right law. Rachel’s Case

Based on the information provided in Rachel’s case, the major issue is the unavailability of information on payment history for her loan before it was transferred to LandX.

LandX could address this problem by establishing a proper platform for transfer of information and documents from LightBank. According to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2016), compliance with service transfers regulations requires establishment of proper platforms for transfer of information between mortgage servicers. Incompatibilities in such platforms hinder accurate transfer of necessary information and documents, which could affect loan repayment as shown in Rachel’s case.
