(a) Enforcement policy.
It is the policy of the Secretary regarding RESPA enforcement matters
to cooperate with Federal, State or local agencies having supervisory
powers over lenders or other persons with responsibilities under RESPA.
Federal agencies with supervisory powers over lenders may use their
powers to require compliance with RESPA. In addition, failure to
comply with RESPA may be grounds for administrative action by the
Secretary under part 24 of this title concerning debarment,
suspension, ineligibility of contractors and grantees, or under part
25 of this title concerning the HUD Mortgagee Review Board. Nothing in
this paragraph is a limitation on any other form of enforcement which
may be legally available.
(b) Violations of section 8 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2607), Sec.
3500.14, or Sec. 3500.15. Any person who violates Secs. 3500.14 or
3500.15 shall be deemed to violate Section 8 of RESPA and shall be
sanctioned accordingly.
(c) Violations of section 9 of RESPA (12 U.S.C. 2608) or Sec.
3500.16. Any person who violates Section 3500.16 of this part
shall be deemed to violate Section 9 of RESPA and shall be sanctioned
accordingly.
(d) Investigations. The procedures for investigations and
investigational proceedings are set forth in 24 CFR part 3800.
