In order to help financial institutions understand, implement, and comply with our mortgage servicing rules, we provide guides, bulletins, tools and other implementation materials.
On March 29, 2018, the Bureau updated the Small Entity Compliance Guide to incorporate the changes made by the March 8, 2018, Mortgage Servicing final rule. The Bureau has also created a mortgage servicing coverage chart .
Rules listed newest to oldest by publication date.
This guide incorporates amendments made to mortgage servicing provisions in Regulation X and Regulation Z by the 2016 Mortgage Servicing final rule and subsequent amendments. This guide discusses the rule as of April 19, 2018.
These summaries, charts, and reference materials offer an easy way to understand rules and see which rules are likely to apply to certain products or businesses. These references aren’t substitutes for the regulation text and official commentary, but they can give you an idea of where to start.
The questions and answers below pertain to compliance with Regulation X and Regulation Z, effective April 19, 2018. These questions and answers are not a substitute for Regulation X, Regulation Z, or their official interpretations (also known as the commentary). Regulation X, Regulation Z, and their official interpretations are the definitive sources of information regarding their requirements.

NOTE: For certain borrowers in bankruptcy, servicers are exempt from sending periodic statements. For other borrowers in bankruptcy, servicers are not exempt from sending periodic statements, but instead are required to send modified periodic statements. Additionally, in certain circumstances, a servicer may be required to resume sending unmodified periodic statements after a borrower’s bankruptcy case has completed. To determine if a servicer is required to send modified periodic statements to a borrower in bankruptcy, please review Regulation Z, § 1026.41(e) and (f).
Yes. Regulation Z, § 1026.41(f)(3)(iv) requires servicers to disclose in the transaction activity on the modified periodic statement all payments the servicer has received since the last statement. These payments include all pre-petition payments, post-petition payments, and payments of post-petition fees and charges, as well as all post-petition fees and charges the servicer has imposed since the last statement.
There can be a delay between when a trustee receives a payment from a borrower and when the trustee remits that payment to a servicer. Because the transaction activity need include only those payments that a servicer has received, it would not need to include payments a borrower has sent to a trustee but that the servicer has not yet received from the trustee. Additionally, the trustee may allocate payments differently than the servicer, which also may cause the periodic statement to disclose transaction activity that is different than the trustee’s records. For this reason, § 1026.41(f)(3)(vi)(C) and (D) require disclosures explaining that the periodic statement may not match the trustee’s records when a borrower makes payments to a trustee.
For general information about the modifications to the periodic statement when a borrower is in bankruptcy, see section 5.10 of the Mortgage Servicing Small Entity Compliance Guide and Regulation Z, § 1026.41(f).
A servicer does not receive a safe harbor under the Bankruptcy Code by sending periodic statements to a borrower in bankruptcy in compliance with Regulation Z, § 1026.41(e) and (f). The Bureau does not have authority to create safe harbors under the Bankruptcy Code. However, in crafting the final rule, the Bureau examined bankruptcy case law and engaged in significant outreach with servicers, bankruptcy attorneys, bankruptcy trustees, and consumer advocates regarding when sending a periodic statement would be permissible under the Bankruptcy Code.
Based on this research and outreach, the Bureau does not believe that a servicer is likely to violate the automatic stay by providing a periodic statement in circumstances required by § 1026.41(a) and (e) that contains the information required by § 1026.41(c) and (d) as modified for bankruptcy by § 1026.41(f). Nor does the Bureau believe that an automatic stay violation is likely when a servicer properly uses one of the sample forms in appendices H-30(E) or H-30(F). The Bureau has tailored § 1026.41(e)(5) to avoid requiring a servicer to send a periodic statement in circumstances when case law suggests that doing so would violate the automatic stay.
In general, the periodic statement should be sent to the borrower. However, if bankruptcy law or other law prevents the servicer from communicating directly with the borrower, the periodic statement may be sent to borrower’s counsel.
NOTE: For certain borrowers in bankruptcy, servicers are exempt from sending coupon books. For other borrowers in bankruptcy, servicers that send coupon books in accordance with Regulation Z, § 1026.41(e)(3) are required to send modified coupon books. Additionally, in certain circumstances, a servicer may be required to resume sending unmodified coupon books after a borrower’s bankruptcy case has completed. To determine if a servicer is required to send modified coupon books to a borrower in bankruptcy, please review Regulation Z, § 1026.41(e) and (f).
A servicer is not required to change its schedule for sending coupon books due to a borrower’s bankruptcy filing. For example, a servicer who ordinarily provides a borrower with a 12-month coupon book in January of each year may continue to send 12-month coupon books in January of each year for the duration of a borrower’s bankruptcy case.
A servicer must provide a new coupon book after one of the events listed in § 1026.41(e)(5)(iv)(A) occurs only to the extent the servicer has not previously provided the consumer with a coupon book that covers the upcoming billing cycle.
For general information about the modifications to the coupon book when a borrower is in bankruptcy, see section 5.10 of the Mortgage Servicing Small Entity Compliance Guide and Regulation Z, § 1026.41(f).
A servicer is not required to change its schedule for sending coupon books due to a borrower in chapter 12 or chapter 13 bankruptcy becoming more than 45 days delinquent on post-petition payments. For example, a servicer who ordinarily provides a borrower with a 12-month coupon book in January of each year may continue to send 12-month coupon books in January of each year for the duration of a borrower’s chapter 12 or chapter 13 bankruptcy case.
Yes, but only if the borrower is 45 days delinquent on post-petition payments when the servicer is providing a new coupon book to the borrower. Regulation Z, § 1026.41(f)(5) requires that a coupon book provided under § 1026.41(e)(3) must include, among other things, the disclosure described in § 1026.41(f)(3)(vi)(E). That provision requires that, if a borrower is more than 45 days delinquent on post-petition payments, the servicer must provide a statement that the servicer has not received all the payments that became due since the consumer filed for bankruptcy.
The servicer may include these disclosures anywhere in the coupon book provided to the borrower or on a separate page enclosed with the coupon book.
NOTE: See Regulation X, Regulation Z, and their official interpretations for more information.
Yes. Regulation Z, § 1026.41(e)(5)(ii) provides that the bankruptcy exemption for providing periodic statements and coupon books ceases to apply if the borrower reaffirms personal liability for the loan. For purposes of the modified periodic statement requirements in § 1026.41(f), Comment 41(f)-6 explains that a consumer who has reaffirmed personal liability for the loan is not considered a debtor in bankruptcy.
Regulation Z, Comment 41(e)(5)(ii)-2 explains that, upon a consumer’s reaffirmation, the servicer must provide a periodic statement or coupon book but without the bankruptcy-specific modifications described in § 1026.41(f).
For general information about the exemption and modifications to the periodic statement or coupon book when a borrower is in bankruptcy, see section 5.10 of the Mortgage Servicing Small Entity Compliance Guide .
Yes. Under Regulation X, § 1024.30(d) and Regulation Z, § 1026.2(a)(11), confirmed successors in interest are considered “borrowers” for purposes of the early intervention requirements and “consumers” for purposes of the periodic statement provisions. Because confirmed successors in interest are considered to be “borrowers” and “consumers” for the relevant parts of Regulation X and Regulation Z, servicers need to know whether confirmed successors in interest are in bankruptcy and may want to include them in any normal checks they utilize to identify borrowers in bankruptcy.
Yes. Under Regulation Z, § 1026.2(a)(11), confirmed successors in interest are borrowers for purposes of the periodic statement provisions, and so the periodic statement modification requirements for borrowers in bankruptcy in § 1026.41(f) would apply to the periodic statements supplied to that confirmed successor in interest in bankruptcy.
For general information about the modifications to the periodic statement or coupon book when a borrower is in bankruptcy, see section 5.10 of the Mortgage Servicing Small Entity Compliance Guide .
The servicer must send modified periodic statements as required under Regulation Z, § 1026.41(f) on or after April 19, 2018 unless, as of April 19, 2018, any exemption applies. Section 1026.41(e)(5) includes new provisions that exempt a servicer from providing a statement to a borrower in bankruptcy. These new requirements and exemption provisions apply to a mortgage loan as of April 19, 2018, irrespective of whether the borrower became a debtor in bankruptcy before or after April 19, 2018. Note that a servicer may begin providing periodic statements to borrowers in bankruptcy prior to April 19, 2018, but as of that date, the servicer must comply with all of the new requirements under the rule. For more information on early compliance, see the Bureau’s .
Our Supervision and Examination Manual is a guide to how we will supervise and examine consumer financial service providers under our jurisdiction for compliance with federal consumer financial law. The Mortgage Servicing Examination Procedures detail how we supervise mortgage servicers.
We periodically publish key findings from our exams in Supervisory Highlights. In June 2016, we published a Mortgage Servicing Special Edition.
Servicers can use our mortgage help page to find information they can use to meet servicing disclosure requirements to provide access to the HUD list of homeownership counselors and counseling organizations, and to find the website to access contact information for state housing finance authorities.
