Servicers must service all FHA-insured Mortgages in accordance with FHA requirements and all applicable laws. (A) Laws and Requirements Applicable to Mortgage Servicing Mortgagees must comply with all laws, rules, and requirements applicable to mortgage servicing, including full compliance with the applicable requirements under the purview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), including the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and, if applicable, Ginnie Mae’s mortgage-backed securities requirements.
