Regulation X. real Estate Settlement Procedures Act The real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (RESPA) (12 2601 et seq.) (the Act) became effective on June 20, 1975. The Act requires lenders, mortgage brokers, or servicers of home loans to provide borrowers with pertinent and timely disclosures regarding the nature and costs of the real Estate Settlement process. The Act also prohibits specific practices, such as kickbacks, and places limitations upon the use of escrow accounts. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) originally promulgated Regulation X which implements RESPA. Congress has amended RESPA significantly since its enactment. The National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 amended RESPA to require detailed disclosures concerning the transfer, sale, or assignment of mortgage servicing.
On December 31, 2013, the CFPB published final rules implementing Sections 1098(2) and 1100A(5) of the Dodd-Frank Act, which direct the CFPB to publish a single, integrated disclosure for mortgage transactions, which includes mortgage disclosure requirements under the and Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and sections 4 and 5 of RESPA.
