Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating nationwide mortgage lenders’ failure to offer appraisal reconsideration policies, an industry-wide practice that may violate federal laws. The Consumer Federal Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently warned lenders of their duty to provide clearly outlined opportunities to consumers for requesting redone appraisals. The valuation process is of fundamental importance to consumers as it relates to their financing and mortgage decisions. Mortgage lenders, therefore, must offer fair and reasonable policies around appraisals so that borrowers may appropriately determine their options without feeling under duress by potentially inaccurate values. Many lenders, unfortunately, have yet to establish such practices, not only leaving the door open for abusive and predatory practices, but also posing a direct risk of violating federal laws.
Migliaccio & Rathod wants to hold lenders accountable to their customers for failure to offer appraisal reconsideration policies to meet federally mandated standards.
