CFPB Report Highlights Consumer Frustration Around Reverse Mortgages

“Today the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a report highlighting the top complaints for reverse mortgages. According to the report, consumers are frustrated with their loan terms, servicer runarounds, and foreclosure problems. To help consumers who already have a reverse mortgage, the CFPB is issuing an advisory with tips on how to plan ahead to protect loved ones from financial hardship brought on by a reverse mortgage. “Consumer complaints tell us that the complex terms of reverse mortgages continue to be misunderstood,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. “As more baby boomers choose reverse mortgages to tap into their home equity, they need to understand the unique terms and features of this product. Our advisory can help those who have already chosen reverse mortgages to plan ahead for loved ones.” The report can be found at: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/reports/snapshot-of-reverse-mortgage-complaints-december-2011-2014/”
