Question 1 of 6

1. Question
A mortgage lender offers borrowers a discounted package of settlement services through affiliated providers. Borrowers are informed that they may either use the package or independently select their own settlement service providers. The discounted package price is lower than the combined market price of the individual services, and the lender does not recover the discount through increased charges elsewhere in the transaction.

Under RESPA requirements, how is this arrangement generally treated?
- A) The lender has violated RESPA because affiliated settlement service discounts are prohibited
- B) The arrangement is generally permissible because use of the package is optional and the discount is not offset by higher settlement costs elsewhere
- C) The arrangement violates RESPA because borrowers must be allowed to negotiate all settlement service fees independently
- D) The arrangement is prohibited unless the lender waives all origination fees

- B) RESPA prohibits all lender referrals involving affiliated service providers

- A) A relationship may exist when a provider maintained an account or outstanding credit arrangement with the lender within the previous 12 months
- B) Affiliated business arrangements apply only when ownership interests exceed 50 percent
- C) RESPA applies only if the lender required borrowers to use the provider
- D) A relationship exists only if settlement fees were discounted
