1. Question

A borrower becomes 92 days delinquent on a conventional mortgage loan after suffering a temporary loss of income. Concerned about rising default risk, the mortgage servicer immediately refers the file to foreclosure counsel, who prepares the first non-judicial foreclosure filing before the borrower reaches 120 days delinquent.

A second mortgage lender initiates foreclosure proceedings against a borrower who has defaulted on multiple mortgage obligations secured by the same property. The first mortgage servicer later joins the existing foreclosure action even though the borrower has not yet reached 120 days delinquent on the first mortgage loan.

The borrower later alleges the senior servicer violated Regulation X foreclosure restrictions.

Which statement best reflects the applicable rule?

D) Servicers may join a subordinate lienholder’s foreclosure action even if the borrower has not yet become more than 120 days delinquent
B) Senior lienholders are prohibited from participating in subordinate foreclosure actions
C) Foreclosure timing restrictions apply separately to every lien regardless of existing foreclosure actions

4. Question

A borrower submits a complete loss mitigation application 58 days before a scheduled foreclosure sale after foreclosure proceedings have already begun. The servicer reviews the application and determines the borrower is not eligible for any investor-approved foreclosure alternatives.
