2. A claim filed pursuant to subsection 1 may only be filed against a mortgage servicer by the loan servicing customers of the mortgage servicer or the Commissioner.

3. Claims against a bond by a loan servicing customer may only involve mortgage loans secured by a mortgage loan in this State. The amount of the claim must not exceed the actual fees paid by the loan servicing customer, overcharges or misapplication of principal and interest, and excess escrow collections charged by the mortgage servicer and paid by the claimant to the mortgage servicer or the agent of the mortgage servicer.
