The Federal Reserve has a proposed rule that will ultimately harm your business and curtail the credit markets more than ever before.

The Rule amending Regulation Z (73 Fed. Reg. 1,672 January 9, 2008)

We need your help.

The rule proposes several changes to underwriting and the mortgage industry which will cause harm to your business and to the welfare of your customer.

The Federal Reserve is introducing a new category of loans which will trigger the abolishment of stated and no doc loans under any circumstance.

The Federal Reserve recognizes that all originators receive a form of YSP or SRP but only mortgage broker transactions will require that you disclose before application what your income will be on the loan and this cannot change during the loan application.

The Federal Reserve wants the originator to determine that the borrower has the ability to repay the mortgage they are applying for- for at least 7 years.

The Federal Reserve wants to put triggers in place similar to 1817 to have 3% and 5% caps before the loan would fall into the higher costs loan. This is impossible and the caps must be raised.

Please have everyone in your place of business write a letter using one of the sample letters we have on our website as a guide.  Do NOT simply copy and put your name on them as mass duplicates are the first to be discarded.
