Force-placed insurance underwriters would be barred from paying fees and commissions to banks who own or service home mortgages that are either delinquent or in foreclosure under a rule proposed by the regulator of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Technically, the proposed action by the Federal Housing Finance Agency would bar the government-sponsored enterprises (GSE) from paying commissions to the banks that service troubled mortgages that the GSEs guarantee.
Force-placed homeowners insurance is projected to bring in $2.6 billion in written premiums annually.
