Resolution Trust Corporation | To improve the oversight of inherited loan servicers, the President and Chief Executive Officer, RTC, should ensure that it has policies and procedures in place to monitor and periodically evaluate the servicers' loan collection activities, financial conditions, and overall performance. |
Closed – Implemented
All inherited loan servicers are required to report to a master loan servicer who will provide first level review and oversight. RTC issued a Loan Servicer Oversight Program directive in January 1993. The program provides a schedule for audits and evaluations of all types of loan servicers, including inherited services. It also has criteria for evaluating the servicers' loan collection activities, financial condition, and performance.
