A mortgage company has approached our bank wanting to pay a specific employee a referral fee, if we would forward real estate loan applications we have turned down to them. I do not see how this is a legal process given Section 8 of RESPA's prohibition of referral fees. The only way I can see it would be legal, is if forwarding the application to the mortgage company would not be defined as a settlement service. I think it would be.

We are thinking about allowing customer to complete a loan application on the Internet and submit it back to the bank via Internet. Must we provide the appropriate disclosures electronically through the Internet? If so what about the new federal consumer credit score disclosure? We will have to run credit before we can get that to the applicant.

I am a mortgage broker. Certain local banks and credit unions want to refer loans to me. ...I could swear there used to be a RESPA checklist that outlined the things a person had to do in order to earn a fee, and of this list you had to do, I think, 5 of the entire list in order to legally earn a fee.
