Culpepper vs. Irwin a.k.a. Inland Mortgage

This action under Section 8 of the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act is now on its second visit to our court. The plaintiffs, who have home mortgage loans from Irwin Mortgage Corporation, claim that certain payments, called "yield spread premiums," that Irwin made to the mortgage brokers who handled the plaintiffs' loan applications are illegal kickbacks or referral fees under Section 8. The district court initially granted Irwin summary judgment, and on the action's first trip to this court, we reversed. Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corp. (Culpepper I), 132 F.3d 692, 694 (11th Cir.1998).2 (The court then explained in a published order denying rehearing (Culpepper II ) that its opinion-which merely reversed summary judgment-should of course not be read to require summary judgment in the plaintiffs' favor. The panel remanded for further proceedings.

 

Glover vs. Standard Federal

Named plaintiffs Lonnie and Dawn Glover acquired an adjustable rate mortgage for the purchase of their home in the late 1980s. In 1996, they refinanced

their loan and obtained a fixed-rate mortgage. Heartland brokered the 1996 transaction and Standard Federal funded and acquired the 1996 mortgage.

As part of the 1996 refinancing, Heartland brokered a mortgage for the Glovers with an "above par" interest rate and was subsequently paid a yield spread premium

("YSP") by Standard Federal. The payment of this YSP is the focus of the current dispute. The Glovers argue that the payment of the YSP constitutes a fee for the referral of a mortgage negotiated with interest rates that are disadvantageous to borrowers, and that this payment violates the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ("RESPA"), 12 U.S.C. § 2601, et. seq. RESPA was enacted to initiate significant reforms in the

real estate settlement process "to insure that consumers throughout the Nation are provided with greater and more timely information on the nature and costs of the settlement process and are protected from unnecessarily high settlement charges caused by certain abusive practices." 12 U.S.C. § 2601(a). RESPA prohibits the payment of some referral fees, stating: (see 12 U.S.C. § 2601(a))
