FHA approval of Acceptance Capital
Mortgage Corp. (‘‘Acceptance’’).
Cause: The Board took this action
based on the following violations of

HUD/FHA of a November 2014 state

however, Acceptance Capital asserted

the agreed-to civil money penalty
payment of $85,000. In addition to the
three-year, the Board voted to impose
civil money penalties of $68,000 for the
above allegations.
2. AmCap Mortgage, Ltd. Houston, TX

Mortgage (‘‘AmCap’’) pursuant to which
AmCap provided the United States
$590,098.17, of which $469,862.27 was

does not constitute an admission of
liability or fault.
Cause: The Board took this action in
conjunction with the Department of
Justice, which negotiated a settlement
with AmCap and which resolved,
amongst other things, False Claims Act
liability. Allegations concerned
