In this course we will review all parts of TILA and Regulation Z that are relevant to Residential Mortgage Lending. We will not cover automobile leases or credit card and other types of loans. When you complete this course you should understand the regulations and rules of the Truth in Lending Act as they pertain to Residential Mortgage Lending, the preparation and delivery of the Truth-in-Lending Form to borrowers, and penalties for failure to conform to the regulations of the statute. We also consider the role of the Truth in Lending form in mortgage fraud prevention, and the regulations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) with regard to the Truth in Lending Form. "As more and more people are becoming victims of mortgage fraud, they need to have a way to defend themselves against the “mortgage fraudsters” during the purchase or refinance of their homes. The real estate industry and homeowners must be willing to use whatever tools necessary to protect against mortgage fraud in these days of changing markets and waning ethics” said Michael S. Richardson, Managing Director of Preventmortgagefraud.com. The web-based course can be accessed 24/7 from anywhere in the world.

Richardson says “We at preventmortgagefraud.com continue to educate based on a philosophy that mortgage fraud can be stopped one transaction at a time with proper prevention tools and education”.
