AI Summary

  • Prohibits sending mortgage marketing materials that falsely indicate connection to a consumer's mortgage company, claim problems exist with the mortgage, or state the materials contain mortgage information, unless the sender is actually employed by or affiliated with the consumer's mortgage company.

  • Requires unaffiliated mortgage companies' marketing materials to avoid language suggesting urgency or immediate response (including terms like "urgent," "action required," "time sensitive," or "important account information enclosed").

  • Mandates that the solicitor's mortgage company name be prominently displayed in the letter body, at the top in larger font than body text, and on any envelope.

  • Restricts use of the consumer's mortgage company name to body text only and requires clear language explaining the solicitation is not from or affiliated with that company; prohibits the name from appearing in envelope windows, email subject lines, or on the envelope itself.

  • Requires marketing materials to clearly state whether the consumer's mortgage company had any involvement in helping the solicitor obtain the homeowner's mortgage information.
