                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                I. Introduction
                 The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is issuing
                this Bulletin to residential mortgage servicers and subservicers
                (collectively, servicers), in light of potential risks to consumers
                that may arise in connection with transfers of residential mortgage
                servicing rights. This bulletin covers: (A) Transfer-related policies
                and procedures, and (B) loan information and documents for ensuring
                accuracy.
                II. Compliance Bulletin and Policy Guidance
                A. Background
                 A mortgage servicer, among other things, collects and processes
                loan payments on behalf of the owner of the mortgage note, conducts
                escrow related processes and handles loss mitigation as appropriate.
                Servicing transfers are common and may occur in several ways. The
                mortgage owner may sell the rights to service the loan, called the
                Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR), separately from the note ownership.
                The owner of the loan or MSR may, rather than servicing the loan
                itself, hire a vendor-typically called a subservicer-to take on the
                servicing duties or aspects of such servicing. MSR owners frequently
                sell MSR outright as an asset. Servicing transfers may also occur
                through whole loan servicing transfers or whole loan portfolio
                transfers, rather than through sales of MSR. In this document, we use
                the term ``transfer'' broadly to cover transfers of servicing rights as
                well as transfers of servicing responsibilities, in total or in part,
                through subservicing or whole loan servicing arrangements. The term
                ``transferor'' servicer means a servicer who transfers or will transfer
                the right to perform servicing functions pursuant to an agreement or
                understanding. The term ``transferee'' servicer means a servicer who
                obtains or who will obtain the right to perform servicing functions
                pursuant to an agreement or understanding.
                 As consumers do not have a choice with respect to the transfer of
                servicing, seamless and accurate transfers are important to prevent
                consumer harm. In 2014, the Bureau issued CFPB Bulletin 2014-01.\1\ The
                Bulletin discussed the servicing transfer requirements in the
                Regulation X mortgage servicing rules.\2\ The Bulletin also addressed
                frequently asked questions, the focus areas for Bureau examinations,
                and the other Federal consumer financial laws applicable to servicing
                transfers.
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \1\ Bulletin 2014-01 was published in the Federal Register as
                Compliance Bulletin and Policy Guidance--Mortgage Servicing
                Transfers, 79 FR 63295 (Oct. 29, 2014). Bulletin 2014-01 replaced
                the earlier Bulletin 2013-01 (Mortgage Servicing Transfers),
                released in February 2013, which addressed servicing transfers
                before the effective date of 12 CFR 1024.38(a), (b)(4).
                 \2\ 12 CFR 1024.38(a), (b)(4).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 In supervisory examinations conducted since 2014, the Bureau has
                continued to find weaknesses in compliance management systems and
                violations of Regulation X related to mortgage servicing transfers.\3\
                Specifically, the Bureau has seen inadequacies in servicers' policies
                and procedures for transferring all the loan information and documents
                to the new servicer in a timely and accurate manner. It is also
                important that servicing functions continue on an uninterrupted basis
                during servicing transfers-such as the payment of taxes and insurance
                from escrow accounts or continuing to exercise reasonable diligence in
                obtaining documents and information to complete a loss mitigation
                application. Recent economic conditions and structural changes to the
                mortgage servicing market, including the growth of nonbank servicers
                that are not subject to the same capital standards as banks, contribute
                to these risks.\4\
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \3\ In addition to the requirements discussed in this bulletin,
                State laws and regulations may impose additional requirements
                applicable to servicers.

                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Taking into consideration the coronavirus pandemic that led to the
                President's declaration of a national emergency on March 13, 2020
                (National Emergency), and the economic and social dislocations caused
                by the pandemic, for the duration of the National Emergency and for 120
                days thereafter, if a servicing transfer is requested or required by a
                Federal regulator or by the security issuer of ``Government Loans'' (as
                defined in the CARES Act), the Bureau intends, for activity during this
                period, to consider the challenges that entities may face as a result,
                including operational and time constraints related to the transfer, and
                to be sensitive to good-faith efforts demonstrably designed to transfer
                the servicing without adverse impact to consumers. The Bureau intends
                to focus supervisory feedback for institutions, if needed, on
                identifying issues, correcting deficiencies, and ensuring appropriate
                remediation to consumers.
                [[Page 25282]]
                B. General Transfer-Related Policies and Procedures
                 In its supervisory examinations, the Bureau reviews mortgage
                servicers for compliance with Regulation X servicing transfer
                requirements, which among other things, require servicers to maintain
                certain policies and procedures related to facilitating the transfer of
                information during mortgage servicing transfers.\5\ Specifically,
                Regulation X requires transferor servicers to maintain policies and
                procedures that are reasonably designed to achieve the objective of the
                timely transfer of all information and documents in the possession or
                control of the servicer relating to a transferred mortgage loan to a
                transferee servicer in a form and manner that ensures the accuracy of
                the information and documents transferred and that enables a transferee
                servicer to comply with the terms of the transferee servicer's
                obligations to the owner or assignee of the mortgage loan and
                applicable law.\6\
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \5\ ``Small servicers'' as defined in Regulation Z, 12 CFR
                1026.41(e)(4), do not have to comply with the policies and
                procedures requirements described in this Bulletin. Regulation X, 12
                CFR 1024.30(b)(1).
                 \6\ 12 CFR 1024.38(b)(4)(i). 12 CFR 1024.38(b)(4) does not
                prescribe any specific policies or procedures that a servicer must
                implement; the rule says that the policies and procedures must be
                ``reasonably designed'' to achieve the goal of facilitating the
                transfer of information during servicing transfers. The Bureau will
                consider a servicer's transfer-related policies and procedures as a
                whole, in light of the servicer's particular facts and
                circumstances, in determining whether they are reasonably designed
                to achieve the rule's objectives. Title 12 CFR part 1024, Supplement
                I, Comment 38(a)-1 also states that a servicer may determine the
                specific policies and procedures it will adopt and the methods by
                which it will implement those policies and procedures so long as
                they are reasonably designed to achieve the objectives set forth in
                Sec. 1024.38(b). And a servicer has flexibility to determine such
                policies and procedures and methods in light of the size, nature,
                and scope of the servicer's operations, including, for example, the
                volume and aggregate unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans
                serviced, the credit quality, including the default risk, of the
                mortgage loans serviced, and the servicer's history of consumer
                complaints.
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Regulation X also requires transferee servicers to maintain
                policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that the
                servicer can identify necessary documents or information that may not
                have been transferred by a transferor servicer and obtain such
                documents from the transferor servicer.\7\ The following are examples
                of servicer practices that the Bureau may consider as contributing to
                policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to achieve the
                objectives of these transfer requirements:

                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Planning and Pre-Transfer Testing
                 For each transfer of mortgage servicing that occurs,
                developing a servicing transfer plan that includes a communications
                plan, testing plan (for system conversion), a timeline with key
                milestones and an escalation plan for potential problems.
                 Conducting meetings to discuss and clarify issues with
                counterparties in a timely manner; for large transfers, this could
                occur months in advance of the transfer for the purposes of developing
                transfer plans and the obligations of all involved parties, including
                service providers and investors.
                 Recognizing if the transfer cannot be implemented
                successfully in a single batch of all accounts and implementing
                alternative protocols, such as splitting the transfer into several
                smaller bundles of accounts to be transferred in subsequent months to
                ensure that the transferee can comply with its servicing obligations
                for every loan transferred.
                 Determining servicing responsibilities for legacy accounts
                including tax reporting, credit bureau reporting and other questions
                that may arise.
                 Using tailored testing protocols to evaluate the
                compatibility of the transferred data with the transferee servicer's
                systems and data mapping protocols.
                 Proactively identifying material issues that potentially
                impact the accuracy or completeness of the loan data or documentation
                to be transferred as well as each servicer's ability to comply with the
                law or investor guidelines with respect to the transferred loans.
                 Identifying any loans in default, active foreclosure and
                bankruptcy. Where applicable, include documentation regarding loss
                mitigation activity for each loan, including status and notes
                pertaining to the loss mitigation action, copies of agreements entered
                into with a borrower on a loss mitigation option, and any analysis by a
                servicer with respect to potential recovery from a non-performing
                mortgage loan.
                 Engaging in quality control work after a transfer of
                preliminary data to validate that the data on the transferee's system
                matches the data submitted by the transferor. Prioritizing data mapping
                errors that occurred during de-boarding or on-boarding process for
                resolution.
                Post-Transfer Monitoring
                 Conducting a post-transfer review or de-brief to determine
                effectiveness of the transfer plan and whether any gaps have arisen
                that require resolution.
                 Monitoring consumer complaints and loss mitigation
                performance metrics including borrower engagement rate, approvals of
                trial modifications, repayment plans, non-home retention options, and
                completed workouts for at least four to six months post-transfer. Also
                monitoring for delinquencies, foreclosures and bankruptcies to detect
                trends, including for month-to-month increases after transfer.
                 As the composition and complexity of servicer portfolios vary,
                servicers may not need to implement all the example policies and
                procedures listed above in order to meet the objectives outlined in
                Regulation X. However, the Bureau emphasizes the importance of post-
                transfer monitoring to ensure that transferred data is complete,
                accurate and functional for the transferee. For example, the Bureau
                found at least one servicer that did not engage in adequate post-
                transfer validation with its transferee, which contributed to its
                failure to identify that it had not transmitted all the loss mitigation
                documents in its possession. Only after a borrower complained to the
                transferee did either servicer become aware that the transferor failed
                to send an executed loan modification agreement to the transferee.\8\
                Generally, transferees must have policies and procedures reasonably
                designed to ensure, in connection with a servicing transfer, that the
                transferee receives copies of any loss mitigation applications and
                agreements, finds out about the status of any prior discussions with
                borrowers, and retrieves missing loss mitigation documents and
                information from the transferor servicer before asking the borrower for
                such information.\9\ These obligations apply to any accounts for which
                the servicer's determination of the borrower's eligibility for loss
                mitigation is in process, including any short-term payment forbearance
                program or a short-term repayment plan that the servicer may offer
                based on an evaluation of an incomplete loss mitigation
                application.\10\
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \8\ The Bureau published supervisory findings related to
                mortgage servicing transfers in the June 2016 edition of Supervisory
                Highlights, available here: https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/Mortgage_Servicing_Supervisory_Highlights_11_Final_web_.pdf.

                 \10\ See 12 CFR 1024.41(c)(2)(iii) (describing requirements for
                servicers offering certain short-term loss mitigation options based
                on an evaluation of an incomplete loss mitigation application); see
                also comments 41(b)(1)-4.iii and 41(c)(2)(iii).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 The Bureau also emphasizes the importance of maintaining the
                transferred data after receipt. Under Regulation X, servicers must
                maintain certain documents and data on each
                [[Page 25283]]
                mortgage loan account serviced by the servicer in a manner that
                facilitates compiling such documents and data into a servicing file
                within five days.\11\ A servicing file includes, among other things, a
                schedule of all transactions credited or debited to the mortgage loan
                account (including to any escrow or suspense account), a copy of the
                security instrument, copies of any loan modifications, any notes
                created by servicer personnel reflecting communications with the
                borrower about the mortgage loan account, and to the extent applicable,
                a report of the data fields relating to the borrower's mortgage loan
                account.\12\ Transferors must also retain records that document actions
                taken with respect to a borrower's mortgage loan account until one year
                after the date a mortgage loan is discharged or servicing of a mortgage
                loan is transferred by the servicer to a transferee servicer.\13\ The
                Bureau encourages servicers to adopt strong policies and procedures for
                maintaining documents and information received in a transfer as part of
                an overall compliance program.

                C. Loan Information and Documents To Be Transferred or Received
                 Regulation X requires transferor servicers to maintain policies and
                procedures that are reasonably designed to achieve the objectives of
                timely transferring all information and documents in the possession or
                control of the servicer relating to a transferred mortgage loan to a
                transferee servicer in a form and manner that:
                 Ensures the accuracy of the information and documents
                transferred, and
                 Enables a transferee servicer to comply with the terms of
                the transferee servicer's obligations to the owner or assignee of the
                mortgage loan and applicable law.\14\

                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Use of a uniform data standard like the Mortgage Industry Standards
                Maintenance Organization (MISMO) standard would increase data
                compatibility and strengthen compliance across the servicing industry
                by fostering more consistency in the data fields used by servicers. The
                Bureau encourages servicers to adopt a common data standard and data
                dictionary to facilitate these goals.
                 Other practices that could contribute to compliance include having
                contracts that require transferors to provide all the necessary
                information and documents at loan boarding to a transferee servicer's
                systems. Necessary information and documents could include foundational
                information for servicing the loan, but not limited to, a unique
                identifier for each loan, the terms of the loan (including the rate and
                term), current unpaid principal balance (UPB) as of a specific date,
                information concerning any escrow accounts (including balances,
                distribution history, and future obligations), payment histories, the
                terms of any loss mitigation that was offered to a borrower under which
                the borrower is performing, and any other modifications or other
                information needed to adequately service the loan.
                 Certain information and documents present heightened compliance
                risk. For example, failure to transfer private mortgage insurance
                cancellation and mid-point dates may contribute to violations of the
                Homeowners Protection Act.\15\ Likewise, loss mitigation-related
                documents, including incomplete applications and executed modification
                agreements are critical for compliance. Regulation X requires
                transferor servicers to maintain policies and procedures with respect
                to the transfer of any information reflecting the current status of
                discussions with a borrower regarding loss mitigation options, any
                agreements entered into with a borrower on a loss mitigation option,
                and any analysis done with respect to potential recovery from a non-
                performing mortgage loan, as appropriate.\16\ Because borrowers may
                continue to provide loss mitigation-related documents and information
                to the transferor servicer after their loans have transferred,
                transferors must work with transferees to ensure that the new
                information and documents are transferred and that borrowers are not
                adversely affected.\17\ A borrower that submits a facially complete or
                complete application to the transferor servicer after the transfer date
                has the same rights and protections that would have applied if the
                borrower had submitted the complete application to the transferee
                servicer.\18\ An application that was facially complete under Sec.
                1024.41(c)(2)(iv) with respect to the transferor servicer remains
                facially complete under the transferee servicer as of the date it was
                facially complete with respect to the transferor servicer. And if an
                application was complete with respect to the transferor servicer, but
                is not complete with respect to the transferee servicer, the transferee
                servicer must treat the application as facially complete as of the date
                the application was complete with respect to the transferor
                servicer.\19\

                 Appendix A provides examples of information and documents grouped
                by subject area which the Bureau intends to use to assess compliance
                with Regulation X. The appendix is provided as a guide and focuses on
                common data elements essential to the servicing of mortgage loans.
                Servicers may use the appendix to assess the baseline appropriateness
                of their transfer-related policies and procedures. Some listed
                documents and information may be not applicable to certain loans. Other
                loans may require documents and information not listed in Appendix A.
                The overall composition and complexity of a servicer's portfolio is
                important in determining whether its policies and procedures meet the
                objectives outlined in Regulation X. For example, servicers with very
                few adjustable rate mortgages might have relatively simple policies and
                procedures for ensuring documents and information related to interest
                rate adjustments are timely transferred and accounted for. And
                servicers with large default portfolios might have robust policies and
                procedures for ensuring that loss mitigation documents and information
                pertaining to defaulted accounts are timely transferred.
                Regulatory Requirements
                 This Bulletin is a non-binding general statement of policy
                articulating considerations relevant to the Bureau's exercise of its
                supervisory authority under Regulation X and RESPA and reciting certain
                requirements of Regulation X and other Federal consumer financial laws
                applicable to servicing transfers. It is therefore exempt from the
                notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
                Procedure Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b).\20\ Because no notice of
                proposed rulemaking is required, the Regulatory Flexibility Act does
                not require an initial or final regulatory flexibility analysis. 5
                U.S.C. 603(a), 604(a). The Bureau has determined that this Bulletin
                does not impose any new or revise any existing recordkeeping,
                reporting, or disclosure requirements on
                [[Page 25284]]

                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \20\ However, this is not a ``statement of policy'' as that term
                is specifically used in Regulation X, 12 CFR 1024.4(a)(1)(ii).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., the
                Bureau will submit a report containing this Bulletin and other required
                information to the United States Senate, the United States House of
                Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
                to its applicability date. The Office of Information and Regulatory
                Affairs has designated this Bulletin as not a ``major rule'' as defined
                by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
