As a resource for the class action defense lawyer who defends against RESPA (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) class actions, we provide the text of RESPA. Congress identified those transactions that are exempt from RESPA in 12 U.S.C. § 2606, which provides as follows:
§ 2606. Exempted transactions
(a) In general
This chapter does not apply to credit transactions involving extensions of credit–
(1) primarily for business, commercial, or agricultural purposes; or
(2) to government or governmental agencies or instrumentalities.
(b) Interpretation
In prescribing regulations under section 2617(a) of this title, the Secretary shall ensure that, with respect to subsection (a) of this section, the exemption for credit transactions involving extensions of credit primarily for business, commercial, or agricultural purposes, as provided in subsection (a)(1) of this section shall be the same as the exemption for such credit transactions under 1603(1) of Title 15.
