The Federal Housing Finance Agency's proposal to end inappropriate commissions and reinsurance arrangements does not go far enough to reduce the cost of force-placed insurance, a Georgia-based insurance broker says.
In a comment letter to the FHFA released this week, officials of OSC, a unit of Breckenridge Insurance Group, Kenesaw, Ga., says the changes proposed by the FHFA in March, "will not produce the market pressures necessary to increase the flow of information within the market, lower barriers to entry and put downward pressure on premiums."
The proposed FHFA action would bar the so-called "government-sponsored enterprises" from paying commissions to the banks who service troubled mortgages that the GSEs guarantee.
