1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and twenty two states have 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: sued Aquan Financial, a mortgage servicer that performs tasks like 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: collecting mortgage payments on behalf of the banks that actually 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: lend the money, among other things. The CFPV says that 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: Aquan routinely mishandled millions of mortgage accounts, and that the 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: software Aquan uses to manage mortgages is deeply flawed, adding 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: errors regularly to borrowers accounts. Aquan disputes the allegations and 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: has called the lawsuit politically motivated. But this isn't the 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: first time that it's been in hot water with the CFPV, 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: and it's facing some very serious lawsuits right now. With 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: us to talk about the litigation against Aquan is Robert Hockett, 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: a professor at Cornell University Law School. Bob explained to 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: us exactly what the CFPV says that Aquin did wrong here. Sure, sure, 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: So it's great to be with you. Thanks for having 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: me on again. Essentially, if you go back to one 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: thing I might help listeners as if they remember back 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: at the so called robosigning scandals where a lot of 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: banks were getting in trouble for supposedly UH filling out 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: or filling dot filling out documents kind of fraudulently in 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: order to begin to foreclose on homes which UH mortgages 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: were sort of getting laid on their payments. One of 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: the reasons that was alleged for that was that basically 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: they were just such a big upswing in foreclosures in 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: the wake of the crisis that the banks simply couldn't 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: handle it. They simply couldn't keep up with all of 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the servicing requirements that they had to keep up with, 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: so a lot of the banks began to unload a 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: lot of these servicing rights to affirm like Aquan and 29 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: Aquin purported to be a specialist at handling this kind 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: of stuff. They supposedly have the right software, the right techniques, 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: so they could kind of do all of this stuff 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: in the right way on the up and up. They 33 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: could kind of manage each particular mortgage account well and 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: take in the payments. They could do readjusting of a 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: monthly payments if necessary. Um, they could basically handle it 36 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: all in a much more efficient way. Was to claim. 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: What the CFPB and what twenty two states are saying 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: is that Aquin has proved no better at this than 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: the banks were said to be doing back in the 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: idea is first of all, but the software that they're 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: using is not capable of tracking all of the various 42 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: functions that have to be tracked in servicing these many 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: many loans. UH. They're claiming that auqwin is failing to 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: record payments that mortgagers are actually making on some of 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: these loans. They're saying that auqwin is failing to make 46 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: various tax payments and other sorts of payments that have 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: to be made out of the escrow accounts associated with 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: particular mortgages, and that in consequence, UM something like one 49 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: and a half million homeowners have been harmed already. So 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: a number of states UH states have sued as as 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: you know as a CFBVS sued, and a bunch of 52 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: states have also issued seas and asists orders, essentially saying 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: that aukwin has to stop UH taking on any more 54 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: servicing business until it can sort of prove or sort 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: of get under wraps the business that is currently claiming 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: to be handling Bob. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: that Aquin allegedly foreclosed illegally on at least to thousand homeowners. 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: Don't they have to go through a court proceeding and 59 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: prove some facts before they can foreclose illegally and don't 60 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: have to verify whether the debt was valid. They do. 61 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: But but here's the different states have different degrees of friction. 62 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: You might say that they put up in the way 63 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: if it would be forecloser. In some states it's a 64 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: lot easier and faster for to foreclose than in others. 65 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: What's more, if Akwin, for example, UM was sort of 66 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: proving that it had the right to foreclose by producing 67 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: certain documents that might have been you know, robosigned, if 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: I can use that word again, that you know, basically 69 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: referring to what the banks were accused of around seven 70 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: years ago UM, and then some of those foreclosures could 71 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: definitely be suspect, even though uh Ackwin sort of complied 72 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: with the sort of the letter of the law, or 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: appears to have complied with the letter of the law. Bob, 74 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't the first time the CFPB has 75 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: got after Akwin and went after them in two thousan 76 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: over what sound very similar kinds of allegations of mismanagement 77 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: of accounts. How is it that this didn't get cleared 78 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: up when not when the CFPB went after them the 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: first time? Well, I mean that that is uh, the 80 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: sixty four thousand dollar question, right. I mean, one would 81 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: have thought that Awkwin would have been put on notice 82 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: ben uh, and that they would have gotten their act together. Um. 83 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of possible explanations. They're 84 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: sort of good faith, I mean, there are sort of 85 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,679 Speaker 1: charitable explanation and possible I'm sorry, there are some possible 86 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: explanations that are sort of charitable and others that are less. 87 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: So let's start with the charitable. The charitable explanation might 88 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: be that they said that, yeah, we'll get our act together, 89 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: we'll sort of get back on the straight arrow, will, 90 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: we'll fix these problems, uh, And that they really tried, um, 91 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: but that they underestimated the magnitude of the problem and 92 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: so didn't succeed in sort of fully handling it. Another 93 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: possibility is that they were in fact acting to correct 94 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: the problems of the CFPB notified them about, but that 95 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: in the meanwhile they kept taking on additional servicing rights 96 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: so that the full portfolio and that they were dealing 97 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: with continued to grow. And so even the improvements that 98 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: they made in might not have suffice given the fact 99 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: that the original basis of those problems was itself growing. Right. 100 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, one thing we have to remember is that 101 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: the number of mortgages that they've been servicing, the full 102 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: portfolio I think, grew by something like a factor of 103 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: eight eightfold from what to now or two thousand nine 104 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: until now. So it's a very rapid growth rate in 105 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: their portfolio of mortgages to handle. So even if they 106 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: were which is again four years ago, even if they 107 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: were beginning to get there their house in order, so 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: to speak, it might have been that that was not 109 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: enough because the problem was in effect growing very rapidly 110 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: even as they were trying to get a handle on it, 111 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: as it had developed up Bob. So, the CFPB, the 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: state of Florida, and twenty one other state agencies are 113 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: suing them or resuring cease and decease desist orders against 114 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: the company. Yeah, it has said it will vigorously defend itself. 115 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: What is its defense? I really, I frankly can't imagine 116 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: what it could be. I really can't. I'm very I mean, 117 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm surprised by this particular attitude. I would have thought 118 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: that they would have been exhibiting some kind of contrition um, 119 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: some sort of plea to the effect that, well, you know, please, 120 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: you know, work with us here where we really are trying. 121 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: We're doing our best. But but the problem is that 122 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: the thing has you know, that the portfolio has grown 123 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: so rapidly that even as we are making improvements, were 124 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: still having trouble keeping up. That would have struck me 125 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: as the right sort of tone to take. Instead by 126 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: striking a defiant tone and saying, oh, this is just 127 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: a CFPB sort of getting out of control, I think 128 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: it's an amazingly stupid strategy to tell you the truth, 129 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: because when you've got half of the states of the 130 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: Union making the same claim, trying to scapegoat the CFPV 131 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: just isn't gonna it's it's not gonna fly right. Nobody's 132 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: gonna buy that. Nobody's gonna find that convincing. With half 133 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: the states in the Union are alleging the same uh, 134 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: that the same wrongs uh and and acting in the 135 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: same way as the CFPV, I can't see what kind 136 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: of defense they could possibly offer that would be consistent, 137 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: at least with a defiant tone that they're striking, Bob. 138 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: If you know, a lot of people probably when they 139 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: get their bills from these mortgage servicing companies are kind 140 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: of surprised. You take out a mortgage with a bank 141 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: and suddenly this other company who you never heard of 142 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: before is obviousing your mortgage, and you can end up 143 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: in a situation like we have allegedly with Aquin here. 144 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: Is there something that should be done, you know, at 145 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: the governmental level or otherwise or by the banks in 146 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: order to avoid this kind of situation because people don't 147 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: have any control over who the mortgaging service company is. Yeah, 148 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that that's that's the sort of 149 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: the perfect question to ask here, because in fact, what 150 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: it highlights is a particular fact, and it's the fact 151 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: that we haven't yet figured out how to deal with 152 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: the fact that the whole country, the whole model of 153 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: housing finance that we operate with in this country has 154 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: fundamentally shifted over the last tent of twenty years. Right 155 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: there used to be, as we know, right the very 156 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the person that landed with the institution that lent you 157 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: the money that you used to buy your house, kept 158 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: the loan for the duration of the loan, and you know, 159 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I had you had a personal relation with it, You 160 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: knew who they were, knew who you were, you had 161 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: a kind of a history. You could kind of work 162 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: things out together if you were beginning to uh suffer 163 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: financial hardships, and hence we're going to linquents on some 164 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: of your payments. But as you know, in the lead 165 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: up to two thousand and eight, we had a gradual 166 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: shift to what's now known as the originate to distribute model, 167 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: where the institution that originates loans doesn't plan to hold them. Instead, 168 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: it sells the rights to collect on the loans to 169 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: other institutions. And sometimes these things can change hands multiple times, 170 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: and that makes it very difficult, for one thing, for 171 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: the homeowners to know who the heck they're actually dealing with, 172 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: and who they actually owe something to, and who might 173 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: be in fact, just trying to scam them. And it 174 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: turns out that it's apparently difficult for the services themselves 175 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: even to kind of keep up with things because these 176 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: things often change hands so rapidly. So the question is 177 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: do we have to go back to the pre originate 178 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: to distribute model basically originate to hold In other words, 179 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: we want kind of maximum skin in the game again 180 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: like we used to have, or is there some sort 181 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: of middle ground that we can find that's between the 182 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: older model on the one hand, and the currently you know, 183 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: sort of just obviously unsiff stainable originate to distribute to distribute, 184 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: to distribute to distribute model, which is what's proved so 185 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: so unworkable. You know. The argument in favor of the 186 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: latter is it supposedly makes housing finance cheaper, right, the 187 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: cost of housing finances much lower because nobody feels that. 188 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: The lenders know that they can unload the loans and 189 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: so they're not going to be stuck with them, and 190 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: they charge less in the way of interest. But the problem, 191 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: of course is we actually had sort of too much 192 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: mortgage credit. It was sort of too much of a 193 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: good thing. That's why we had a housing bubble in 194 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: the first place. So clearly we need something between the 195 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: two extremes, at least if we don't, in fact go 196 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: all the way back to the originate to hold model. Bob. 197 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: Every time I see these lawsuits continuing about mortgage companies 198 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: and mortgage service companies, I asked the same question of myself, 199 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: which is haven't we learned anything from the financial crisis? Yeah? Yeah, 200 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: it seems like we learned something for about twenty minutes 201 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: or maybe for eighteen months um, and then almost as 202 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: quickly as um, things begin to kind of recover in 203 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: scare quotes, the original causes of the crisis in the 204 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: first place begin to be forgotten. But you would have thought, 205 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: in this particular case, given that the magnitude of the 206 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: crisis first and the fact that it was so concentrated 207 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: on housing finance as for another thing, that at the 208 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: very least we would at least remember, right how to 209 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, how to do housing right, even if we, 210 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, are still sort of arguing about what to 211 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: do about derivatives or what to do about uh financial 212 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: market utilities or repo markets or what have you. But 213 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: it seems that we we've apparently haven't even figured out 214 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: yet what to do about housing. And I guess you see. 215 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: Another reflection of this, of course, is in Congress itself, 216 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: because Congress for at least five years now has been 217 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: figuring out what to do with Fannie and Freddie. Do 218 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: we want to sort of restore them to what they 219 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: were before? Two We've got there's clearly gonna be more 220 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: for us to have you on the air to talk about, 221 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: but we're running out of time, so I want to 222 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: thank Bob Hockett of Cornell Law School for being with 223 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: us here today on Bloomberg Law.
