Bradley Partner Jonathan Kolodziej Quoted in Inside Mortgage Finance on Challenges for Mortgage Servicers Due to COVID-19

April, 2020 - United States of America

Bradley attorney Jonathan Kolodziej was quoted in Inside Mortgage Finance on the compliance challenges that mortgage servicers are facing due to COVID-19. Servicers have been inundated with requests for forbearance and other mortgage payment relief since President Trump signed the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill that allows certain borrowers to request payment deferment from their mortgage servicers.

“Obviously there are influxes of requests and capacity issues but having [a compliance] framework in place would put somebody in a huge advantage,” said Kolodziej. “Somebody who is caught off guard would have a hard time catching up given that we are at a time period with limited resources and workforces.”

“Additional guidance from the bureau that makes clear what the obligations are and when those obligations apply would be very helpful,” he added
