WHAT?

During the first year of the Biden Administration it has become clear that enforcement of fair lending laws is a high priority. Enforcement actions are not limited to just one or two key issues; as outlined below, there is broad assault on fair lending issues. Of course there is an appropriate response in each area subject to regulatory action.

WHY?

This two-hour webinar is designed to make attendees aware of court rulings, announcements from the administration and federal agencies, and recent enforcement actions. This program reviews the problem areas and the appropriate response.

TOPICS

Upon completion of the program participants understand discrimination issues related to:

• Redlining – A major spotlights has been placed on this issue. Recent cases, an announcement of DOJ’s Redlining Initiative, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) announcement regarding Digital Redlining, and business loan redlining are reviewed

  • The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Bostock v Clayton County; and
  • The CFPB’s issuance of the Regulation B Interpretative rule
• Foreclosure Surge – Following the end of the pandemic-related foreclosure moratoriums the huge volume of foreclosures has been subject to intense regulatory scrutiny. The changes resulting from the CFPB’s Regulation X revisions that impacted the Mortgage Loan Servicing and Loss Mitigation rules are reviewed.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning models – Once viewed as the antidote to disparate treatment, bias has been detected in AI and machine learning models. On March 29, 2021 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the CFPB, and the National Credit Union Administration (the agencies) issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking information and comments on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by financial institutions.

• Targeted Advertising – The use of social media has become an important marketing tool for many providers of consumer financial services. Private lawsuits have been filed and focus on the intersection of targeted marketing and anti-discrimination laws. The status of regulatory activity and redlining claims related to targeted marketing are reviewed.
• Discrimination in Appraisals – Numerous anecdotes and one case outline the problem that results when appraisers are loose with the selection of comparables and adjustments made between the subject property and comparables.
