Regulation E Error Resolution Misconceptions
One very common misconception, when it comes to Regulation E error resolution is the idea that if a customer makes a claim more than 60 days after the error occurred, an institution has no liability. This is, of course, incorrect and is addressed in the CFPB’s Electronic Fund Transfers FAQs. Error Resolution FAQ #3 states …For example, some network rules require consumers to provide notice of an error within 60 days of the date of the transaction, even though Regulation E, 12 CFR 1005.11(b)(1)(i), allows consumers to provide notice within 60 days after the institution sends the periodic statement showing the unauthorized transaction… The Bureau discussed instances where examiners found financial institutions had violated the 60-day notice requirement in the Summer 2020 Edition of its Supervisory Highlights.
Kevin explains this and a few more misconceptions in the video.

Kevin brings years of experience and a unique perspective on regulatory matters to our clients. A self-proclaimed geek and accredited CRCM, Kevin is also a recovering attorney with experience as in-house counsel for a large regional bank and one of the leading national title insurance providers. For reasons unknown, Kevin decided to leave the safety and serenity of his desk job to seek fortune and glory as a wandering adventurer. Like a bank compliance version of Kwai Chang Caine, The Man with No Name or Don Quixote, he now travels the land seeking to help those in need and righting compliance wrongs, wherever he may find them. Kevin lives in Sioux Falls with his two children, who are surprisingly normal after having endured their father’s vivid imagination for their entire lives. He won’t admit to having any hobbies, because apparently “Regulations never sleep.” (While he does say this in his Batman voice, we’re pretty sure he’s joking.) From the looks of his Facebook page, he likes the outdoors and spending time with his large extended family (who seem like relatively normal people).
