Supporting quotes from the release

What to do

AWACS interpretation · not source language

What to review: This is an informational enforcement notice with no mandatory changes, so review it for awareness: 21 state agencies settled with one mortgage loan originator over required education taken by another person, with $31,000 in total fines.

QC implications

  • No loan-level requirements change, so no loan file testing is driven by this record.
  • If QC covers originator licensing, it may note that this enforcement action concerns an originator who had another person take required education for him.
