RESPA VIOLATION, OR NOT? Scenario * A lender encourages a borrower who receives a federally related mortgage loan from it to employ an attorney to perform the title searches and related settlement services in connection with their transaction. The lender and the attorney have an understanding that in return for the referral of this business, the attorney provides legal services to the lender, or the lender’s officers or employees at abnormally low rates or for no charge. Is this a violation or not? Discuss
This scenario likely constitutes a violation of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), which prohibits kickbacks and unearned fees. The key points are:
- RESPA prohibits receiving or giving anything of value for referrals of settlement service business.
- The agreement between the lender and the attorney to exchange services at abnormally low rates or for no charge likely violates RESPA.

Scenario * A credit reporting company places a fax machine in the office of a mortgage lender, so that the credit reporting company can easily transmit requests for credit reports and the mortgage lender can respond. The credit reporting company supplies the fax machine at no cost or at a reduced rental rate based on the number of credit reports ordered. Is this a violation or not? Discuss
This scenario might constitute a violation of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Key points to consider:
- RESPA Section *(a) prohibits giving or accepting any fee, kickback, or thing of value for referrals of settlement service business.
- Section *(b) prohibits splitting charges for services not actually performed.
- Providing the fax machine at no cost or reduced rate could be seen as a "thing of value" in exchange for business.
Do you have any other questions or need further clarification on RESPA?

This scenario may constitute a violation of Section * of RESPA. Key points to consider:
- Section *(a) of RESPA prohibits giving or accepting any fee, kickback, or thing of value for the referral of settlement service business.
- Providing marketing materials (desk calendars, pens, notepads) can be considered a "thing of value."
Do you have any other questions or need further clarification on RESPA?
s this a violation or not? Discuss Scenario * A borrower refinanced a RESPA-controlled residential mortgage loan with a lender and is charged an underwriting fee. The borrower thought the fee was excessive for the service involved. The borrower sought to reduce the fee to a reasonable amount for the actual underwriting service, claiming the fee was prohibited by RESPA since the amount of the fee was not related to the value of the underwriting services provided. The lender claimed the fee was permitted by RESPA as the charge was for a service actually provided for the borrower and the amount could not be questioned since RESPA only requires a service to have been rendered to collect a fee and does not restrict the amount a lender may charge for services provided. Is this a violation or not? Discuss
This scenario does not constitute a clear violation of RESPA. Key points to consider:
- RESPA primarily addresses kickbacks, referral fees, and unearned fees.
- Section *(b): It prohibits charges for services not actually performed.
- RESPA does not impose limits on the amount a lender can charge if the service was provided.
However, the borrower may have recourse under state laws or other applicable consumer protection laws if the fee is deemed excessive. Do you have any other specific concerns or questions?
