CFPB ends investigation of Zillow

In a SEC filing dated June 22, 2018, Zillow Group announced that it is no longer under investigation by the CFPB for RESPA and UDAAP compliance with regard to its co-marketing program. Zillow Group had disclosed the existence of the investigation in May 2017.
According to the SEC filing, Zillow Group received a letter from the CFPB on June 22 stating that the CFPB “had completed its investigation, that it did not intend to take enforcement action, and that the Company was relieved from the document-retention obligations required by the Bureau’s investigation.”
The completion of the investigation leaves unanswered what concerns the CFPB may have had with Zillow Group’s co-marketing program, and whether the investigation was terminated because the concerns were addressed to the CFPB’s satisfaction or for other factors.
BE CAREFUL. JUST BECAUSE THE CFPB RELEASED ITS HOLD ON ZILLOW, IS NOT A TICKET FOR YOU TO INTO THE “GREY AREA”.
IF YOU ENTER INTO ANY KIND OF MSA, IT WOULD BE WISE TO ASK OUR ADVICE FIRST.
