Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending). This interim final ru...

In this article the authors make two claims. First, they argue that the current subprime mortgage and credit crisis would have been avoided, or at least greatly mitigated, if existing securities laws had been properly applied to subprime mortgage brokers and originators. Second, they argue that under any of what they regard as three reasonable interpretations of the securities laws, many of the problematic mortgage brokers are actually under the SEC's jurisdiction. This tantalizing possibility does not appear to have occurred to anybody in this crisis, at least to this point. Part II of this article describes how the evolution of the mortgage industry has dramatically changed the economic properties of the financial products known as mortgages. They describe the growth of the subprime m...

In the shadow of the spotlight focused on the faltering nationwide housing market comes the all-encompassing catch phrase "credit crunch." However, the term is neither a prophet of doom nor is it unique only in light of housing, especially subprime mortgage loans. Like dominoes, many factors impacted the economy to cause the current credit crunch, which, in turn, will impact other economic factors. To best understand the problem, it is necessary to define the term credit crunch. According to Wall Street Words: An A to Z Guide to Investment Terms for Today's Investor, a credit crunch is a "period during which borrowed funds are difficult to obtain and, even if funds can be found, interest rates are very high." Literally, a credit crunch is a time when borrowing money comes at a higher ri...
