A branch manager asks about a loan file because an MLO refers a borrower to an affiliated title agency. What should happen?

Correct Answer

A) Give the AFBA disclosure and avoid required use

Lines 250-254; 12 CFR 1024.15(b). The affiliate relationship must be disclosed, the borrower cannot be required to use the affiliate, and referral compensation cannot be disguised. Therefore, the correct response is "Give the AFBA disclosure and avoid required use".

Answer Options
A
Give the AFBA disclosure and avoid required use
B
Continue the activity because the borrower appears willing to proceed.
C
Ignore the consumer-protection issue unless the borrower complains.
D
Document the issue later instead of correcting the compliance problem first.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Lines 250-254; 12 CFR 1024.15(b). The affiliate relationship must be disclosed, the borrower cannot be required to use the affiliate, and referral compensation cannot be disguised. Therefore, the correct response is "Give the AFBA disclosure and avoid required use".
