On October 15, 2026, California regulators issued an order that requires mortgage lenders to report on the way they handled insurance payments for wildfire damage in Los Angeles.
The order follows complaints from homeowners affected by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires who said their insurance checks were delayed or held by mortgage companies.
The directive applies to lenders with mortgages on properties damaged in the 2025 fires and obligates them to provide details of their payout processes.
