Mortgage Servicers Disclosing Sensitive Financial Data to Unauthorized Third Parties
Mortgage companies send closing disclosures and financial documents to ex-spouses or others with no legal connection to the loan, exposing non-public personal information. Borrowers going through divorces are particularly vulnerable when servicers have outdated contact records. There is no standard verification step to confirm recipients' current authorization before sending sensitive documents.

Loan Officers Provide False Guarantees to Secure Mortgage Applications
A loan officer falsely guaranteed that an ex-spouse's signature would not be required for a refinance, inducing the consumer to apply, approve a credit pull, and spend two months in a process that ultimately could not complete. The misrepresentation was only disclosed after processing, with the lender acknowledging the error but offering no remedy. This pattern of misleading pre-application assurances wastes consumer time and damages credit.
