The New HOEPA Rules audio conference (W)

Problems in the mortgage market have brought outcries for more laws and regulations. The Federal Reserve just took the first big step, as it unveiled long-awaited proposed rules establishing a barrage of new consumer protections under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA).

This biggest mortgage regulation in two decades addresses practices in origination, loan terms, servicing and advertising—and the rules apply to all lenders, not just those examined and supervised by the Federal Reserve.

Essentially all the recent guidelines on nontraditional and subprime lending will become regulations—and much more—and with more specific requirements. The new rules will likely be put in place this year. You need to know about these changes: How disruptive will they be to your business? Which actions will impact you most?

Hear from a panel of experts:

• Paul Mondor, Attorney, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of Governors, FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM, will discuss the new rules and what the Fed expects from the industry;
• Donald C. Lampe, Partner, WOMBLE CARLYLE SANDRIDGE & RICE, will discuss the meaning and ramifications of the new rules;
• Laurence E. Platt, Practice Area Leader, K&L GATES, will discuss the legal issues and how the mortgage market will be affected;
• Guy Cecala, Publisher, INSIDE MORTGAGE FINANCE, will moderate.
