About The Morgage Truth in Lending Act
The Morgage Truth in Lending Act of 1968 is a federal law that serves to protect consumers in loan transaction by requiring the disclosure of important costs and terms of a loan transaction. It is a statute within the Consumer Credit Protection Act and the regulations therefrom are often referred to as 'Regulation Z'.
The intention of the 'Morgage TILA' is to create a standardized method of comparing loans as well as disclosing and quantifying the total costs. It further gives consumers additional rights such as the right to cancel a signed loan on your home as long as it's within 3 days of signing the documents ('Morgage Right of Rescission') as well as providing means for the fair & timely resolution of many credit disputes. Additionally it sets limits on the cost and interest rates morgage lenders may charge.
Here are some key features:
Requires initial disclosures (such as the Good Faith Estimate) and periodic statements be provided to consumers
Right to Rescind within 3 days of signing a loan on your Primary Residence
Imposes advertising restrictions on Lenders (such as prohibiting lenders from claiming tax benefits with a certain type of loan)
Requires the disclosure of the 'Annual Percentage Rate' as well as determining the calculation from which the 'APR' will be derived
