CFPB Takes Action Against Fay Servicing

On Wednesday, June 7, 2017, the CFPB took action against mortgage servicer Fay Servicing for failing to provide mortgage borrowers with the protections against foreclosure required by law. The Bureau found Fay violated the Bureau’s servicing rules by keeping borrowers in the dark about critical information regarding the process of applying for foreclosure relief. The Bureau also found instances where the servicer illegally launched or moved forward with the foreclosure process while borrowers were actively seeking help to save their homes. The CFPB has ordered Fay Servicing to stop its illegal practices and pay up to $1.15 million to harmed borrowers.

 

“The Bureau found that Fay violated the CFPB’s servicing rules by keeping borrowers in the dark about critical information about the process of applying for foreclosure relief,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. “CFPB will continue to hold servicers accountable for violations of consumer protection laws.”
