Social media virtual assistant for mortgage brokers & lenders

What rules does a social media assistant follow for mortgage?

1. TCPA and state rules for borrower follow-up. Under the TCPA and FCC rules, calls and texts to a borrower's cell need prior express consent, fall between 8am and 9pm local time and are scrubbed against the National Do Not Call Registry. Florida, Oklahoma and Washington add their own consent and hour rules. Every outbound touch runs with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing.
2. No licensed advice: SAFE Act, NMLS, FCA, ASIC. Only a licensed loan originator with an NMLS ID quotes rates, discusses terms or takes an application under the SAFE Act. UK mortgage advice sits under FCA MCOB rules; Australian credit assistance under the NCCP Act and ASIC; Canadian brokering under provincial regulators such as FSRA. Assistants collect, confirm and update. They never advise.
3. GLBA Safeguards Rule for borrower data. The FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) requires brokers and lenders to protect nonpublic personal information. Assistants work inside your LOS and portal with least-privilege access, MFA and managed devices, and never download borrower files locally. UK GDPR and the Australian Privacy Act cover files handled from the second office in Pakistan.
4. TRID and ECOA clocks. Regulation Z requires the Loan Estimate within 3 business days of a complete application and the Closing Disclosure at least 3 business days before consummation. Regulation B requires notice of action within 30 days of a completed application. Assistants track these dates in the pipeline and flag them; your lender issues the disclosures.
