The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), as implemented through Regulation X, applies to all federally related mortgage loans with few exceptions. RESPA requires specific disclosures and procedures in connection with the application, settlement, and servicing of one to four dwelling secured consumer loans. In this webinar, Max Gardner will review how to effectively use Reg X in dealing with all issues related to the “servicing” of such loans, including what you must know BEFORE you file any mortgage servicing case or consumer bankruptcy case. This webinar is geared to attorneys of all levels who file or want to file RESPA violations in their practice.

•How to litigate RESPA claims for mortgage servicing violations
