Regulation X has important protections in place for your clients in seeking options to save their homes. These actively litigated protections provide specific details and requirements a borrower must follow to eventually be entitled to relief if a servicer fails to comply.  This session is for attorneys who have some familiarity with Regulation X but would like to pursue litigation under the provisions that allow for private rights of action and fee-shifting.
