Ethics & Fraudmedium18% of exam

A compliance review finds that a settlement provider asks to be paid for a task it did not actually perform. What should the MLO do next?

Correct Answer

D) Pay only for actual, necessary, distinct services performed

Lines 267-269; 12 CFR 1024.14(g). The ethical and legal distinction is payment for real services, not a label or customary amount. Therefore, the correct response is "Pay only for actual, necessary, distinct services performed".

Answer Options
A
Continue the activity because the borrower appears willing to proceed.
B
Apply the correct general concept to the wrong appraisal review stage rather than the Permitted compensation for actual services rule.
C
Document the issue later instead of correcting the compliance problem first.
D
Pay only for actual, necessary, distinct services performed
