Contact Your Congressional Representative TODAY Regarding H.R. 3915

From the National Association of Mortgage Brokers: 

Following the mark-up of the bill by the HFSC, NAMB's Government Affairs team continued to work tirelessly with members of Congress and their staffs to clarify the anti-steering provision to ensure that consumers continue to have the ability to finance origination fees and costs and to clarify our ability to receive compensation for our work. Thanks to your patience and timely response when called to action, I am pleased to report that clarifications to the anti-steering language have been made and our concerns have been addressed.

Our work is not finished. Specifically, Title III, which proposes changes to HOEPA that will adversely affect consumers' ability to obtain mortgage financing, must be amended or removed entirely. We anticipate that there will be a number of amendments offered to Title III when H.R. 3915 reaches the House floor.

TODAY, we are asking you to CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE and urge him or her to support any amendment(s) that may be offered by Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA) to modify Title III, or any other amendment offered to eliminate Title III in its entirety, to help ensure credit will remain available for consumers who need it most. The mortgage reform effort in Congress should move forward and H.R. 3915 is the first step, of many, in this deliberate process.

With H.R. 3915 set to go to the House floor for a vote this Thursday, November 15, 2007, THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW.
