The folks here in Austin are sarcastically asking, “Who’s in your wallet?” Hopefully not Jennifer Garner or Samuel L. Jackson. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB… which always has our backs, right?), sued Capital One, N.A., and its parent holding company, Capital One Financial Corp., for “cheating millions of consumers out of more than $2 billion in interest.” “The CFPB alleges that Capital One promised consumers that its flagship ‘360 Savings’ account provided one of the nation’s ‘best’ and ‘highest’ interest rates, but the bank froze the interest rate at a low level while rates rose nationwide. At least IMBs and brokers don’t have to worry about running afoul of that kind of thing. Instead, many lenders here in Texas, and around the nation, are wondering who, or what, is going to bring the FHA into a new century: streamline refis that include escrows, SFR construction loans, having the monthly MI drop if the LTV drops to 75 percent (or after 7.5 years), and answering the question, “If loan quality is higher now than in 2008, why are the LLPAs the same and not diminished?” (Today’s podcast can be found here and this week’s is sponsored by Calque.
