MBA's Broeksmit talks GSE release as trigger leads ban nears
Briefly

H.R. 2808 is a proposed legislation that aims to ban the use of trigger leads, a practice that enables credit reporting agencies to profit from selling leads to other lenders. Exceptions will be made for current loan servicers, originators, and banks with a depository relationship. The Senate's similar bill raises expectations for H.R. 2808’s passage, indicating a likely shift in the lending landscape. Meanwhile, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) remains cautious about potential changes regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's financial independence amid ongoing conservatorship issues.
