Hi Guys,

Here are links to some of the things we talked about in class…

During the segment on mortgage fraud, we mentioned two local cases. Read more about Shawn Portmann here and here’s a link to the news story on West Sound Bank.

Here’s a recent blog post on those awful Cash Call radio ads

We talked a bit about the CSBS and the AAMR. Here’s the announcement regarding their published guidelines on non-traditional loans.

Here’s a fantastic interview between Jon Stewart and Elizabeth Warren, who came up with the idea for the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB is now the main regulator that oversees the federal laws we covered in class today.

…and here I am being interviewed by the NYTimes regarding the CFPB.

Here’s HUD’s FAQ booklet on RESPA. If I were a test writer, this would be a fantastic source for possible test questions.

There was a request to take a look at the new proposed GFE/TIL forms from the CFPB.
