STIPULATED ORDER FOR PERMANENT

INJUNCTION AND MONETARY JUDGMENT
Plaintiffs, the Federal Trade Commission (Commission) and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau), have filed their Complaint for a permanent
injunction and other relief in this matter. The Commission brought this action pursuant
to Sections 5(a) and 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), 15 U.S.C.
45(a) and 53(b). The Bureau brought this action pursuant to Sections 1031(a),

U.S.C. 5531(a), 5536(a)(1), and 5564, and sought civil penalties pursuant to Section
1055 of the CFPA, 12 U.S.C. 5565(c). Defendant Green Tree Servicing LLC
Page 1 of 65
(Defendant or Green Tree) waived service of the summons and the Complaint. The
Commission, Bureau, and the Defendant stipulate to entry of this Order for Permanent
Injunction and Monetary Judgment (Order).
THEREFORE, it is ORDERED as follows:
FINDINGS
1.
This Court has jurisdiction over this matter.

For purposes of this settlement, Defendant neither admits nor denies any of
the allegations in the Complaint, except as specifically stated in this Order. Only for
purposes of this action, Defendant admits the facts necessary to establish jurisdiction.
4.
All parties waive all rights to appeal or otherwise challenge or contest the
validity of this Order. Defendant further waives and releases any claim it may have
against the Commission or the Bureau, and their employees, representatives, or agents.
5.
Defendant waives any claim that it may have under the Equal Access to
Page 2 of 65
Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. 2412, concerning the prosecution of this action through the date
of this Order, and agrees to bear its own costs and attorney fees.
6.
The Plaintiffs and Defendant, by and through their counsel, have agreed
that entry of this Order resolves all matters in dispute between them arising from the facts

(12 C.F.R. 1024.30, et seq.) as of January 10, 2014.
DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this Order, the following definitions shall apply:
1.
Collecting on past-due debt(s) means recovering or attempting to recover,
directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due, for which
consumers are currently in default, as default is defined in the loan agreement or
applicable document creating the debt obligation.
2.
Debt means any obligation or alleged obligation of a consumer to pay

which are the subject of the transaction are primarily for personal, family, or household
purposes, whether or not such obligation has been reduced to judgment.
3.
Defendant means Defendant Green Tree Servicing LLC, and its
successors and assigns. For purposes of this definition, an assign means a person who
Page 3 of 65

modification offered by a servicer that was either accepted by the borrower or for which
the time for the borrower to accept the offer has not expired and the offer has not been
rejected, but is not finalized as a permanent modification before servicing rights on the

servicer agreed to modify the loan payment terms unless Defendant has clear written
evidence that the borrower has failed to perform under the trial loan modification terms.
It also includes modifications in which the consumer completed making the trial
payments before the loan was transferred to Defendant, but the permanent modification
was not input into the prior servicers system before the transfer.
7.
Investigation means objectively evaluating the circumstances and
considering information, including an assessment of the relevance, reliability, accuracy,

integrity, and completeness of such information, to determine whether a consumer owes a
Page 4 of 65
debt in the amount asserted or to assess a borrowers notice of error or qualified written
request. The information Defendant shall assess in an investigation, where applicable to

disputing, or challenging the claim that the consumer owes the debt
or the amount of the debt, such as: (i) documents with the
consumers current or former name, address, and telephone number,

or any prior servicer or owner of the debt, or a debt collector, (iii)
canceled checks, bank account statements, credit card statements,

breach of, or default under, its servicing agreement for loss mitigation related-servicing
performance deficiencies, or is in receivership, and is required to transfer servicing to
another servicer in thirty (30) days or less by an unaffiliated investor, or a court or
regulator with jurisdiction.
9.
Loss mitigation means modified payment arrangements, trial, permanent
and in-process loan modifications, forbearance plans, short sales, deed-in-lieu agreements

one or more consumers, or enforcement action by another governmental agency, entity,

or representative, brought against Defendant based on substantially the same conduct or
issues as alleged in the Complaint.
12.
Servicing means collecting, receiving and applying payments made on a
consumers account pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, such as payments of
principal, interest, taxes, and fees; administering loan accounts; receiving and processing
data and documentation for loan accounts transferred from prior servicers; making loanrelated communications; responding to borrower notices asserting an error and qualified
written requests; providing periodic billing statements to consumers; maintaining records
of the status of consumers loan accounts; providing information to and resolving
disputes with consumers regarding loan accounts; disbursing payments from consumers
escrow accounts; providing loss mitigation, including but not limited to loan
modifications and short sales; pursuing foreclosure; repossessing property; filing
bankruptcy claims; calculating deficiency judgments; using consumer reports and

Page 7 of 65
relation to any of the foregoing.

I.
ORDER FOR EQUITABLE MONETARY RELIEF
IT IS ORDERED that:
A.
Judgment is entered in favor of the Commission and the Bureau against
Defendant in the amount of Forty Eight Million Dollars ($48,000,000) total as follows:
1.
Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) for alleged violations of the

FTC Act, CFPA, and FDCPA with respect to Defendants alleged
misrepresentations relating to payment methods that entail a
convenience fee.
2.
Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) for alleged violations of the

FTC Act, CFPA, FDCPA, and RESPA with respect to Defendants
conduct relating to short sales and in-process loan modifications,
including Defendants alleged failure to timely respond to qualified
written requests relating to in-process loan modifications and with
respect to Defendants alleged misrepresentations about the time it
will take to review short sale requests.
B.
Within ten (10) days of entry of this order, Defendant is ordered to pay to
Page 8 of 65
the Bureau $48,000,000 dollars in full satisfaction of the judgment in favor of the
Commission and the Bureau as set forth in Paragraphs A.1 and A.2 of this Section. Such
payment shall be made by wire transfer to the Bureau or to such agent as the Bureau may
direct, and in accordance with wiring instructions to be provided by counsel for the
Bureau.
C.
All money paid to the Bureau pursuant to this Section shall be deposited
into a fund or funds administered by the Bureau or its agent in accordance with
applicable statutes and regulations to be used for consumer redress, including but not
limited to refund of moneys, restitution, or other monetary relief, and for any attendant
expenses for the administration of such redress.
D.
If the Bureau, in consultation with the Commission, decides that redress to
consumers is wholly or partially impracticable or otherwise inappropriate or funds remain

after redress is completed, the Bureau may apply any remaining money for such other
relief (including consumer information remedies) as it determines to be reasonably
related to Defendants practices alleged in the Complaint. Any funds not used for such
relief are to be deposited to the U.S. Treasury as disgorgement. Defendant has no right to
challenge any actions the Bureau, the Commission, or their representatives may take
pursuant to this Paragraph.
E.
Redress provided by Defendant shall not limit consumers rights in any
way or prevent Defendant from asserting in a related consumer action that a consumer
Page 9 of 65
should not recover for any amounts paid under this Order.
F.
In light of the monetary relief to be paid to the Bureau, and to avoid double
payment, the FTC is subrogating its claim for equitable monetary relief to the Bureaus
claim.
II.
A.
ORDER TO PAY CIVIL MONEY PENALTIES
Under Section 1055(c) of the CFPA, 12 U.S.C. 5565(c), by reason of the
alleged violations of law in the Complaint, and taking into account the factors set forth in
12 U.S.C. 5565(c)(3), Defendant shall pay a civil money penalty of Fifteen Million
Dollars ($15,000,000) to the Bureau, as directed by the Bureau and as set forth herein.
B.
Within ten days of the Effective Date, Defendant shall pay the civil money
penalty in the form of a wire transfer to the Bureau or to such agent as the Bureau may
direct, and in accordance with wiring instructions to be provided by counsel for the
Bureau.
C.
The civil money penalty paid under this Order shall be deposited in the
Civil Penalty Fund of the Bureau in accordance with Section 1017(d) of the CFPA, 12
U.S.C. 5497(d).
D.
Defendant shall treat the civil money penalty as a penalty paid to the
government for all purposes. Regardless of how the Bureau ultimately uses those funds,
Defendant shall not:
Page 10 of 65
1.
Claim, assert, or apply for a tax deduction or tax credit with regard
to any federal, state, or local tax for any civil money penalty that
Defendant pays under this Order; or
2.
Seek or accept, directly or indirectly, reimbursement or

indemnification from any source, including but not limited to
payment made pursuant to any insurance policy, with regard to any
civil money penalty that Defendant pays under this Order.
E.
To preserve the deterrent effect of the civil money penalty, in any related
consumer action, Defendant shall not argue that Defendant is entitled to, nor shall
Defendant benefit by, any offset or reduction of any monetary remedies imposed in the
related consumer action, because of the civil money penalty paid in this action (Penalty
Offset). If the court in any related consumer action grants such a Penalty Offset,
Defendant shall, within 30 days after entry of a final order granting the Penalty Offset,
notify the Bureau, and pay the amount of the Penalty Offset to the U.S. Treasury. Such a
payment shall not be deemed an additional civil money penalty and shall not be deemed
to change the amount of the civil money penalty imposed in this action.
F.
In light of the monetary relief to be paid to the Bureau, and to avoid double
payment, the FTC is subrogating its claim for civil penalties to the Bureaus claim.
III.
A.
ADDITIONAL MONETARY PROVISIONS
In the event of any default on Defendants obligations to make payment

Page 11 of 65
under this Order, interest, computed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1961, as amended, shall
accrue on any outstanding amounts not paid from the date of default to the date of
payment, and shall immediately become due and payable.
B.
Defendant relinquishes all dominion, control, and all legal and equitable
right, title, and interest to the funds paid to the fullest extent permitted by law and no part
of the funds shall be returned to Defendant.
C.
The facts alleged in the Complaint will be taken as true, without further
proof, in any subsequent civil litigation by or on behalf of the Commission or Bureau in a

proceeding to enforce its rights to any payment or monetary judgment pursuant to this
Order.
D.
The facts alleged in the Complaint establish all elements necessary to
sustain an action by the Commission or Bureau pursuant to Section 523(a)(2)(A) of the

Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(2)(A), and this Order will have collateral estoppel
effect for such purposes.
E.
Defendant acknowledges that its Taxpayer Identification Number, which
Defendant previously submitted to the Commission or Bureau, may be used for collecting
and reporting on any delinquent amount arising out of this Order, in accordance with 31
U.S.C. 7701.
F.
For a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date, within thirty (30)
days of the entry of a final judgment, consent order, or settlement in a related consumer
Page 12 of 65
action, Defendant shall notify the Bureau Enforcement Director of the final judgment,
consent order, or settlement in writing. That notification shall indicate the amount of
redress, if any, that Defendant paid or is required to pay to consumers and should
describe the consumers or classes of consumers to whom that redress has been or will be
paid.
IV.
INJUNCTION AGAINST UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant, Defendants officers, agents, and

employees, and all other persons in active concert or participation with any of them, who
receive actual notice of this Order, whether acting directly or indirectly, are permanently
restrained and enjoined from:
A.
Making any representation, expressly or by implication, that a consumers
account has unpaid balances, payment due dates, interest rates, monthly payment
amounts, delinquency statuses, unpaid fees, or other amounts due, unless, at the time of
making the representation, Defendant can substantiate such a representation, including
but not limited to situations in which:
1.
Defendant knows or reasonably should know that a consumer, at the

time the consumers loan was transferred to Defendant, was
performing or previously completed performance under a trial or
permanent loan modification with the prior servicer of the loan but
Defendant continues to attempt collection from the consumer under
Page 13 of 65
the original, unmodified mortgage loan terms. Defendant reasonably

should know that a consumer was performing or previously
completed performance under a trial or permanent loan modification
with a prior servicer once Defendant receives any information from
the prior servicer, the consumer, or any other source substantiating
that the consumer was performing or previously completed
performance under a trial or permanent loan modification; or
2.
Defendant knows or reasonably should know that the information for

the account is facially unreliable, materially inaccurate, or missing
material information, but Defendant continues to attempt collection
on the account without commencing and completing an investigation
regarding the account.
3.
Nothing in this provision shall be interpreted to preclude Defendant

from accurately representing for informational purposes contractual
amounts that remain due and owing until a permanent loan
modification has been finalized, provided that such representation
does not mislead a consumer regarding the amounts due under the
modification.
B.
Failing, after a consumer orally denies, disputes, or challenges Defendants
claim that the consumer owes a debt or owes a debt in the amount asserted to: (i) provide
Page 14 of 65
the consumer orally and contemporaneously with instructions for submitting the dispute
in writing; and (ii) within 14 days of the consumer disputing Defendants claim, provide
the consumer clear and conspicuous written instructions on how to submit the dispute in
writing; and
C.
Failing, after a consumer denies, disputes, or challenges, in
writing, the Defendants claim that the consumer owes the debt or owes the debt in the
amount asserted, to:
1.
Within fourteen (14) days after the denial, dispute, or challenge, or

when the debt is next reported to a consumer reporting agency, if
earlier, report the debt as disputed; and
2.
Promptly after the denial, dispute, or challenge:

a.
Cease collection of any disputed amount, inform the

consumer that it has ceased collection of the disputed amount,
and, where the decision is within Defendants control, not
transfer servicing to any person or entity other than the
creditor to whom the debt is owed, until the Defendant
satisfies its obligations to conduct an investigation and
respond as set forth in Paragraphs (b) and (c) below or obtains
an agreement from the transferee servicer to conduct such an
Page 15 of 65
investigation and respond as set forth in Paragraphs (b) and

(c) below;
b.
Commence and complete, within thirty (30) days after a

consumer denies, disputes, or challenges Defendants claim
that a consumer owes the debt or that he or she owes the debt
in the amount asserted, an investigation of the denial, dispute,
or challenge, unless the consumer provides information that is
relevant to the investigation during the 30-day time period, in
which case the investigation may be extended for no more
than fifteen (15) additional days. Provided that Defendant
shall not be required to investigate any denial, dispute, or
challenge if it reasonably determines that the denial, dispute,
or challenge is frivolous or irrelevant. A dispute qualifies as
frivolous or irrelevant if the Defendant does not have
sufficient information to investigate and the consumer does
not provide the necessary information when asked, or if
Defendant has previously complied with its obligation to
investigate and respond and the consumer does not provide to
Defendant or Defendant does not otherwise acquire or obtain
information, data, or documentation that was not considered
Page 16 of 65
in any prior investigation. Defendant shall notify the

consumer within five (5) business days of Defendants
determination if the denial, dispute, or challenge is not
investigated under this proviso; and
c.
If Defendant reasonably concludes after its investigation:

i.
That the consumer owes the debt in the amount

asserted, Defendant, within ten (10) days of reaching
its conclusion, shall provide verification of the debt to
the consumer, inform the consumer of its conclusion,
and provide the basis for it, after which it may resume
collection of the previously-disputed amount. If the
consumer continues to dispute the debt, nothing in this
order supersedes the requirement of 623(a)(3) of the
FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2(a)3, that Defendant
convey the dispute when furnishing information on the
debt to any consumer reporting agency.
ii.
That the consumer does not owe the debt or the debt
cannot be verified, Defendant shall, within five (5)
days of reaching its conclusion: (a) inform the
consumer of its conclusion and the basis for it; (b)
Page 17 of 65
request that each consumer reporting agency to which

Defendant had reported the debt or caused the debt to
be reported, delete the item from the consumers credit
reporting file; (c) cease collection; and (d) where the
decision is within Defendants control, not transfer
servicing to any person or entity other than the creditor
to whom the debt is allegedly owed.
iii.
That the consumer does owe the debt but not in the
amount that Defendant asserted, Defendant shall,
within five (5) days of reaching its conclusion: (a)
inform the consumer of its conclusion and the basis for
it; and (b) provide to each consumer reporting agency
to which the debt has been reported any correction to
the reported information that is necessary to make the
information provided by Defendant accurate, after
which it may continue collection.
Provided that, if the consumer initiates contact with Defendant by any means,
Defendant may respond to the consumer prior to the completion of the investigation.
Provided further that the limitations on transfer in Subsections IV.C.2.a and
IV.C.2.c.ii shall not apply when the transfer is between owners of the right to perform
Page 18 of 65
servicing who do not perform the servicing and there is no change in the subservicer.
Provided further that, nothing in this Section IV prohibits Defendant from
requiring consumers who deny, dispute, or challenge a debt on the grounds of fraud or
identity theft to do so in writing, so long as Defendant clearly and conspicuously
discloses these requirements. Once Defendant receives an identity theft report, the
requirements of 623(a)(6)(B) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2(a)(6)(B), apply.
V.
DATA INTEGRITY REQUIREMENT
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant, in connection with loan servicing

and collection activities, shall, no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the
date of entry of this Order, establish and maintain a comprehensive data integrity
program (Program) reasonably designed to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and
completeness of the data and other information about accounts that Defendant services,
collects, or sells, including any accounts acquired by or transferred to Defendant. The
Program, the content and implementation of which must be fully documented in writing,
shall contain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature,
size, complexity, and scope of Defendants loan servicing activities, and shall include:
A.
The designation of an employee or employees to oversee the Program;
B.
The maintenance of sufficient personnel that are adequately trained to
perform the Program requirements in a timely and legal manner;
Page 19 of 65
C.
The identification of material internal and external risks to the accuracy,
integrity, and completeness of loan servicing data that could result in material errors to
consumers accounts and assessment of the sufficiency of any safeguards in place to
control these risks. At a minimum, this risk assessment shall consider risks in each
relevant area of operation, including, but not limited to (1) employee training and
management, (2) information systems, including network and software design, servicing
transfer protocols, information processing, storage, transmission, and disposal, and (3)
prevention, detection, and response to any systems failure;
D.
The completion of due diligence prior to receiving transferred mortgage
servicing rights. Specifically, prior to receiving the transfer of mortgage servicing rights,
Defendant shall conduct due diligence to understand and implement steps necessary to
resolve issues with the type of loan level information and documentation in the
transferors possession and control, the transferors ability to transfer the information
electronically, in images, or only in paper records, material gaps in the transferors
records, and Defendants ability to promptly process the information to be provided by
the transferor, and otherwise ensure that Defendant will be able to comply with its
servicing obligations with respect to every loan transferred. Defendant shall seek
assurance that the transferor will transfer all material loan level information in its
possession or control at or before the time of transfer.
Page 20 of 65
E.
The testing, identification, and correction of material errors in the following
data fields in Defendants servicing systems of record: monthly payment amount,

principal balance, interest rate, loan term, escrow account balance, suspense account
balance, delinquency status, loss mitigation status, and foreclosure status (collectively,
the Tested Data Fields).
1.
Portfolios Tested and Timing for Testing Portfolios.

a.
Testing of Portfolios Transferred After the Effective Date of

this Order. In addition to the requirements in Section VII.A.3
relating to loans in loss mitigation, within twenty (20) days
after the transfer of any portfolio transferred after the
Effective Date of this Order, or within twenty (20) days after
the establishment of the Program, whichever is later,
Defendant shall conduct a Data File Review. A Data File
Review shall mean testing to examine the completeness and
accuracy of loan information and to identify material errors.
This shall include comparing the Tested Data Fields in
Defendants servicing systems of record as of the loan
transfer cutoff date for material errors against the electronic
data and the loan-level documents provided by the transferor
Page 21 of 65
servicer from which Defendant acquired the servicing rights

to the portfolio.
b.
Previously Acquired Portfolios. To the extent that Defendant

is, as of the Effective Date, servicing mortgage loans in
portfolios at risk for widespread or systemic errors in the
Tested Data Fields, for which portfolios Defendant acquired
the servicing rights after January 1, 2010, Defendant shall
perform a Data File Review within 15 days after the
establishment of the Program. A portfolio is at risk for
widespread or systemic errors if it exhibits any of the
following factors: (1) the portfolio was an involuntary
transfer, (2) the portfolio transferred under an agreement
containing a disclaimer as to the availability of loan account
level information and documents, (3) the portfolio transferred
from a servicer or owner that Defendant has learned
previously provided materially inaccurate information for
more than 5% of the portfolio or had missing material
information for more than 5% of the portfolio, (4) Defendant
has other information about the portfolios prior owner or
servicer and its methods of doing business that suggests that
Page 22 of 65
more than 5% of the portfolio contains material errors or

materially incomplete information, or (5) after onboarding,
consumers have disputed in writing the accuracy of the
information in accounts amounting to more than 2% of a
portfolio serviced by Defendant.
2.
Percentage of Each Portfolio to be Tested.

a.
All Data File Reviews, as prescribed in Subsection V.E.1, and

On-Going Testing, as prescribed in Subsection V.E.4, shall be
statistically valid and based on an appropriate sampling
methodology, such that the results from the sample can be
reliably extrapolated to the loan portfolio as a whole, and
shall include both random and risk-based selection criteria.
b.
If a Data File Review performed pursuant to Section V.E.1. of

this Order reveals a material error rate of more than 5% with
respect to any Tested Data Field(s) in a portfolio, Defendant
shall, within thirty (30) days, complete a Data File Review of
such field(s) for all loans in the portfolio. In the event that
the full-portfolio Data File Review described in this section
reveals a material error rate exceeding 5% of all loans in the
portfolio with respect to any of the field(s) tested under this
Page 23 of 65
subsection, Defendant shall perform a Data File Review of

such field(s) for the entire portfolio every six months until the
material error rate falls below 5%.
3.
Correction of Errors. Upon completion of any Data File Review,

Defendant shall correct and remediate any individual account errors
identified by the Defendant, including promptly refunding or
reversing any overcharges and stopping foreclosure where
appropriate.
4.
Ongoing Testing. Within 180 days of the Effective Date, and every
six months thereafter, Defendant shall identify any portfolios
serviced by Defendant for which, in the immediately preceding six
months, consumers representing more than 2% of the relevant
portfolio have disputed in writing the accuracy of the information in
the Tested Data Fields. In the event any such portfolios exist,
Defendant shall determine whether there exist any systemic issues
giving rise to the disputes about errors in the accuracy of the Tested
Data Fields in the portfolio and, if any errors are found, Defendant
shall develop and implement a plan to correct the errors. Provided
that, when a consumer orally denies, disputes, or challenges the
accuracy of the information contained in a Tested Data Field,
Page 24 of 65
Defendant shall (i) provide the consumer orally and

contemporaneously with instructions for submitting the dispute in
writing; and (ii) within 14 days of the consumer disputing
Defendants claim, provide the consumer clear and conspicuous
written instructions on how to submit the dispute in writing.
Provided that the requirements of this Subsection V.E shall not apply to transfers
when the transfer is between owners of the right to perform servicing who do not perform
the servicing and there is no change in the subservicer.
F.
The design and implementation of reasonable safeguards to control the
risks identified through risk assessment, and regular auditing or testing or monitoring of
the effectiveness of the safeguards key controls, system, and procedures;
G.
The regular auditing, testing, or monitoring of the effectiveness of the
Program using statistically valid samples, such that the samples include both random and
risk-based selection criteria and the results from the samples can be reliably extrapolated
to the Program as a whole; and
H.
The evaluation and adjustment of the Program in light of the results of the
required auditing, testing, or monitoring, and any material changes to Defendants

operations or business arrangements that may significantly impact the Program, or any
other circumstances that Defendant knows or has reason to know may have a material
impact on the integrity, accuracy, and completeness of Defendants loan servicing
Page 25 of 65
process, or data and other information about accounts that Defendant services, collects, or
sells.
Provided that, in the event of a conflict between this Section V and the
requirements of federal, state, or local laws or the standard provisions imposed on

having responsibility with respect to collecting on past-due debts, within thirty (30) days
of the date of entry of this Order, and to each employee hired for a period of five (5)
years after that date, no later than the time the employee assumes responsibility with
respect to the collecting on past-due debts, and shall secure from each such person, within
forty-five (45) days of delivery, a signed and dated statement acknowledging that he or
she has read the notice.
Debt collectors must comply with the federal Fair Debt

Collection Practices Act, which limits our activities in trying
to collect money from consumers.
Section 804 of the Act says that, when contacting someone to
acquire location information about the consumer, you may
not state that the consumer owes a debt. You also may not
contact this person more than once unless the person asks you
to or unless you reasonably believe the persons earlier
Page 52 of 65
response was wrong or incomplete and that the person now

has correct or complete location information to provide to
you.
Section 805 of the Act says that, in connection with collecting
on past-due debts, you may not communicate with any person
other than the consumer for a purpose other than to obtain
location information about the consumer. This means that
you may not reveal the existence of a debt to anyone other
than: (1) the person who allegedly owes the debt; (2) the
consumers spouse, parent (if the consumer is a minor),
guardian, executor, or administrator; or (3) the consumers
attorney, a consumer reporting agency if otherwise permitted
by law, the creditor, the attorney of the creditor, or Green
Trees attorneys.
Section 805 of the Act also says that you may not
communicate with a consumer in connection with collecting
on past-due debts: (1) at any unusual time or place or a time
or place known or which should be known to be inconvenient
to the consumer; or (2) at the consumers place of
employment if you know or have reason to know that the
employer prohibits the consumer from receiving such
communication.
If a consumer notifies you either orally or in writing that the
consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes us
to cease further communication with the consumer, you shall
not communicate further with the consumer with respect to
such debt, except: (1) to advise the consumer that our further
efforts are being terminated; (2) to notify the consumer that
we or the owner of the loan may invoke specified remedies
which are ordinarily invoked by debt collectors or creditors;
(3) where applicable, to notify the consumer that we or the
owner of the loan intends to invoke a specified remedy; or (4)
to place one additional call to confirm that the consumer is
not interested in loss mitigation.
Section 806 of the Act states that you may not harass,
oppress, or abuse any person in connection with collecting on
Page 53 of 65
past-due debts. Among other things, this includes calling

someone repeatedly or continuously to annoy, abuse, or
harass the person, and using obscene or profane language, or
language that is likely to abuse the person.
Section 807 of the Act prohibits the use of any false
representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to
collect any debt or to obtain information about a consumer.
Individual debt collectors are liable for their violations of the
Act, and may be required to pay penalties if they violate it.
Provided that, for purposes of compliance with Section XVI.C of this Order, the
signature required for the employees statement that he or she has read the notice may be
in the form of an electronic signature.
