Impacts of CFPB & Servicing Regulations Part I • Thursday, March 20 from 10:30am to 12:00pm
Alan S. Wolf, President and Managing Attorney at The Wolf Firm, will be a panelist on the session entitled, “Impacts of CFPB & Servicing Regulations Part 1” which will be held on Thursday, March 20 from 10:30am to 12:00pm. In this session, Mr. Wolf will be part of a roundtable discussion on the recently effective CFPB Servicing Regulations and discuss the known impacts on Mortgage Servicing. The panel will cover the nuts and bolts of the applicable regulations and will then discuss the measures necessary for effective compliance. This session will help attendees gain a better understanding of the information requests and error resolution processes, the new periodic payment statements, and rules concerning force place insurance.

Latest Eviction/ REO Challenges & Title Clearance • Thursday, March 20 from 8:45am to 10:15am
Kayo Manson-Tompkins, Managing Eviction & Foreclosure Attorney at The Wolf Firm, will be a panelist on the session entitled, “Latest Eviction/REO Challenges & Title Clearance” which will be held on Thursday, March 20 from 8:45am to 10:15am. In this session, Ms. Manson-Tompkins will be part of a roundtable, interactive discussion, with counsel from multiple jurisdictions, on topics including resolving title, tax, and HOA issues, and closing best practices. Title issues and REO properties have seen a change. Title issues continue to exist post foreclosure. We still see the “usual suspects” such as breaks in the chain of title and description discrepancies. But now, we see title companies calling foreclosure actions into question. Come join this panel as they delve into the newest title issues being raised, what measures can be taken pre foreclosure (if any), and what can be done post foreclosure to get title cleared quickly.
Best Practices in Billing • Thursday, March 20 from 8:45am-10:15am
Krys Fuller Delk, Director of Operations at The Wolf Firm, will be a panelist on the session entitled, “Best Practices in Billing” which will be held on Thursday, March 19 from 8:45am-10:15am. In the ever changing landscape of mortgage servicing, it can be difficult to keep track of each client’s requirements and standard operating procedures for submitting invoices. This session will provide an open forum where both servicers and attorneys can discuss the challenges they face to properly submit invoices and have them reviewed in a timely manner. Further discussion will cover what to do to ensure you are promptly paid for the work completed. The panel and attendees can share insight on these issues and discuss best practices to ensure that this vital function is performed seamlessly and efficiently.
Fast Tracking Vacant Foreclosures • Thursday, March 20 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm
Kayo Manson-Tompkins, Managing Eviction & Foreclosure Attorney at The Wolf Firm, will be a panelist on the session entitled, “Fast Tracking Vacant Properties” which will be held on Thursday, March 20 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm. The fast-tracking of vacant and abandoned foreclosure properties is a viable, preferable alternative to addressing the backlog of vacant and abandoned properties that are currently stressing the system to its breaking point. In this session, Ms. Manson-Tompkins will be part of an open dialog on recent vacant property registration legislation – including increases in foreclosure driven registrations and cash bond requirements—and the inherent benefits to all aspects of the industry if new legislation will allow for the fast-tracking of the foreclosure process. The discussion will include key factors, including neighborhood blight, statistics on current foreclosure timeframes throughout the country, and the industry’s ability to alleviate stress on the code enforcement community through this alternative to vacant property ordinances.
Compliance & Audits • Thursday, March 20 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm
Krys Fuller Delk, Director of Operations at The Wolf Firm, will be moderating the session entitled, “Compliance and Audits” which will be held on Thursday, March 20 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm. In this session, Ms. Fuller Delk, along with the other panelists, will discuss the current pressures faced by mortgage lenders and loan servicers to comply with their oversight entities, the current requirements placed on their counsel and the path to future communication and efficient review between the participants. The discussion will review industry best practices and engage other members of the servicing community with insight, collaboration and cutting edge discussion on these critical facets of daily interaction.
