Adjustable-rate mortgage, Closed End Credit, Finance, Finance charge, Loan, Security interest, Statute of Limitations, Truth in Lending Act

There are eight (8) major federal laws pertinent to mortgage origination and servicing.

                   Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA); 15 U.S.C. § 1638.

Purpose. TILA is largely a disclosure statute that requires that lenders make certain disclosures to borrowers and potential borrowers. The Act is meant to insure that borrowers are informed of all of the terms of the loan before they take out the loan and can make an informed decision.

Scope. TILA applies to consumer credit – both closed end credit (like mortgages) and open ended credit (like credit cards) – extended by a creditor.

To constitute as “consumer credit” under the statute:
• The consumer must be a natural person.

• Credit is the right to defer payment of debt or to
incur debt and defer payment.

• The credit must be payable, by written agreement, by more than four
installments or subject to finance charges.

Under TILA, a “creditor” is:

• An entity that regularly extends consumer credit. Regularly means six or
more real estate secured loans, two or more high cost loans (or one or
more if made through a broker), or 26 or more in other cases per year.

• The creditor is the entity to which the obligation is payable to on its face.
Arrangers, like brokers, are not covered by TILA.

Exceptions.

• Business, agricultural, organizational and commercial credit.
• Credit over $25,000 unless secured by real estate or a dwelling.
• Public utility credit in some instances.
• Securities or commodities accounts.
• Certain student loans.
• Home fuel budget plans if no finance charge is imposed.

Protections.

Fundamentals. Lenders must disclose the following terms and conditions:

1. Amount Financed The amount financed is the amount of money that the borrower receives for his own benefit. Generally, this would include the proceeds of the loan, the purchase price of the goods/services being purchased, and the amount of pre-existing debts being paid off by consolidation or refinancing. Amount financed is roughly the same as the concept of “principle” but it is distinct from how principle is construed under state usury laws.

2. Finance Charge. Any charge that a consumer pays, directly or indirectly,
that is charged by the creditor, directly or indirectly, as incident to or a condition of the extension of credit. Examples include interest, service charges, points, origination fees, and many other costs associated with credit.

3. Annual Percentage Rate (APR). The cost of credit as a yearly rate.

Required Disclosures for Closed End Credit – Failure to disclose the following terms and conditions gives rise to Statutory Claims.

1. Total Finance Charge. Consists of all finance charges as defined above.

Exceptions
a. Under certain conditions, charges by third parties, closing agent fees,
debt cancellation coverage, and overdraft fees.
b.Application fees so long as they are charged to all applicants, whether or
not credit is extended.
c. Late fees.
d.Certain closing costs, so long as they are bona fide and reasonable.
e. Voluntary credit life, health, accident and loss of income insurance so
long as the voluntary nature, cost and term are disclosed and the consumer
separately agrees to the insurance in writing.
f. Credit property insurance premiums so long as the consumer is aware
that he can purchase insurance elsewhere.
g. Certain security interest related charges.
h.Annual fees or fees periodically charged as a condition to credit.
i. Seller’s points.
j. Interest reductions in time deposits.

2. Amount Financed. The principle part of the loan minus all charges
deemed to be finance charges.

3. Annual Percentage Rate.
4. Payment Schedule.
5. Total Number of Payments.
6. Security Interests.
7. Special Formatting Rules.

The disclosures must be clear, obvious, separate from other information and in a form that the borrower can keep. Disclosures must be provided in a timely manner, in a way that the borrower can keep before the consummation of the loan.

Lenders must also give the borrower a Notice of Right to Cancel, which informs the borrower of his right to rescind and contains the forms that the borrower needs to exercise that right.

Relief and Statute of Limitations. Under TILA, the borrower has an absolute right to rescind for three business days after the consummationof the loan. After three business days, a borrower may have the right to rescind up to three years if the disclosures were not made to the client. Damages and attorney’s fees are recoverable under the statute.

Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA); 15 U.S.C. § 1639

Purpose. HOEPA is designed to protect all borrowers, but especially
borrowers that apply for and take out high cost loans. HOPEA is
associated with TILA and is often considered a part of TILA.

Scope. Same as TILA.

Protections. Special Disclosures for Variable Rate Closed End Loans (like
ARMS)

1. The lender must disclose the maximum interest rate that could be charged over the life of the loan in the loan note.

2. The lender must give the borrower a copy of the ARM brochure that contains generic information about ARMs as well as more specific explanations of the aspects of each variable rate plan that the borrower is considering.

3. These disclosures must be given when the application is furnished
or before the payment of a nonrefundable fee, which ever is first.

4. During the life of the loan, the lender must send rate adjustment
or change notices before the loan rate will change.

HOEPA prohibits prepayment charges and balloon payments in a limited amount of cases, higher interest rates after default, negative amortization, more than two payments being made from the loan proceeds, pattern/practice of extending credit without taking into consideration the borrower’s ability to pay, and payments directly to home improvement contractors.

Relief and Statute of Limitations. A party can recover damages and rescind under HOEPA. Attorney’s fees and costs are also available. The Statutes of limitations for affirmative actions is one year. For rescission, the statutes of limitation is three years.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA); 15 U.S.C. § 1691

Purpose. The purpose of the ECOA is to stop discrimination in the lending industry.

Protections. ECOA has three important aspects:

1. First, it prohibits discrimination in any aspect of credit based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, assistance income.

2. Second, the ECOA requires creditors to take specific actions when approving or denying credit, prevents certain factors from being used to determine creditworthiness, mandates when an existing account may be closed, and restricts the ways that information is reported to credit reporting agencies concerning spouses.

3. Third, the Act imposes certain notice requirements on the credit issuer
when a loan application is approved or denied. If the creditor makes a counter offer (for more or less credit), then it must notify the borrower in writing of the new terms.

   How ECOA Protection Can Be Applied to Foreclosure Fraud

Bait and switch tactics may give rise to a claim under the ECOA. If a creditor gives credit in a much larger amount than the borrower requested and never gives the borrower an opportunity to deny the additional amount, then the creditor violated the procedural terms of the ECOA by failing to provide the borrower with written notice of all action taken on the original loan application. This tactic is often used in predatory lending. A creditor will give more credit to pay borrower’s debts that the borrower expressed no interest in paying. The new amount is often disclosed too late in the process for the borrower to feel as if he can object.

Relief and Statute of Limitations. The ECOA allows home owners to pursue relief higher on the food chain than the original lender, and provides for actual and punitive damages (up to $10,000 in an individual action), equitable relief and attorney’s fees. The statute of limitations is one year.

Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA); 12 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.

Purpose. The purpose of RESPA is to protect home buyers from
abusive practices in the residential real estate industry. The Act controls
the manner in which settlement services for a residential real estate loan are provided and compensated.

Scope. RESPA applies to federally related mortgages, meaning those made by federally-insured depository lenders, HUD-related loans, loans intendedto be sold on the secondary market to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or to creditors who make or invest more than a million dollars per year in residentially secured loans. Most home equity loans (as well as refinancings), mobile home purchase loans and construction loans are covered by RESPA. A loan for vacant land is excluded unless a structure will be constructed or a manufactured home will be placed on the property within two years of settlement of the loan. There are some exceptions to RESPA. If a lender makes a loan from its own funds, holds the loan for varying periods of time and then sells the loan on the open market, it is not covered. Also, certain lenders that originate loans through a computer system are generally exempt from RESPA’s requirements.

Protections. RESPA requires that no later than three business days after the application, the consumer must receive a “good faith estimate” of settlement costs (usually via the HUD-1 settlement statement) along with a booklet explaining the costs. At closing, all settlement agents must use the HUD-1 settlement kickbacks and unearned fees. No person shall give or accept any fee, kickback or gift for a referral of a settlement service. Additionally, RESPA requires servicers to notify consumers about the possibility that their mortgages may be transferred and when one is imminent, and to have a mechanism that allows borrowers to make inquiries about their account to a servicer and to have corrections made to
their accounts, if necessary. Servicers have a substantive duty to pay the property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and other escrowed monies to the appropriate recipients as long as the borrower is current. Further, RESPA limits the amount that a lender can require that a borrower place in escrow, and prohibits a lender or servicer from charging the borrower for the preparation of statements required by TILA, the HUD-1 settlement statement, or escrow account statement.

Statute of Limitations. The statute of limitations is one year except for servicer violations which has a 3 year limitation.

                      Fair Housing Act (FHA); 42 U.S.C. § 3605

Purpose. The FHA prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin in the making of
or purchasing of residential real estate loans and any other related financial assistance.

Scope. The FHA applies to loan brokers, financing consultants and anyone else providing financial assistance related to the making of the loan as well as the secondary market in the purchasing of loans, debts or securities, thepooling or packaging of these instruments, and the marketing or the sale of securities issued on the basis of loans or debts.

Protection. To prove discrimination, the consumer must show that the defendants intentionally targeted on the basis of a protected class when trying to obtain credit or that there was a credit-grant policy that had a disparate impact on that basis.

Relief and Statute of Limitations. Under the FHA, the court can award actual and punitive damages, attorney’s fees and costs. The statute of limitations is two years from the occurrence or from the termination of the discriminatory practice for affirmative claims.

                         Federal Trade Commission “Holder” Rule

The FTC’s “Holder” rule, or the FTC Rule on Preservation of Consumers’ Claims and Defenses, allows a consumer to make a claim against a subsequent holder of a loan for the acts of the original lender. The original lender may be judgment proof, and it is unlikely that a consumer would effectively be able to defend against a collection action and bring an affirmative suit against the original lender. The rule creates an incentive for the lending industry to police itself and subsequent holders of a debt are in a better position to sue the original lender than the borrower.

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA); 15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq.

Purpose. FDCPA restricts debt collector’s efforts to obtain payment and
to choose venue. The Act protects debtors from abusive or harassing
debt collection practices.

Scope. The Act is generally used in the non-mortgage context because mortgage servicers are exempt because they usually acquire servicing rights before the mortgage goes into default. A debt collector generally includes collection agencies, creditors using false names or collecting for other creditors, collection attorneys, purchasers of delinquent debts, repossession companies, and suppliers or designers of deceptive forms, but generally excludes companies collecting their own debts.

Protections. The Act protects the consumer from an invasion of privacy, harassment, abuse, false or deceptive representations, and unfair or unconscionable collection methods. Specific acts that are prohibited include late night or repetitive phone calls, false threats of legal action or criminal prosecution and communications with most third parties regarding the debt.

FDCPA provides the consumer the ability to stop all debt collection action with a letter, makes the collector deal with the consumer’s attorney if the consumer has one, and gives the consumer the right to dispute the existence, legality or amount of the disputed debt.

Relief and Statute of Limitations. The plaintiff can recover actual damages, statutory damages (up to $1000), attorney’s fees and costs and perhaps punitive damages and injunctive relief. Class actions are also authorized and the statute of limitations for all actions is one year for affirmative claims.

Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968

Purpose. RICO can be used to provide a civil remedy to abusive
consumer credit practices.

Scope. Any cause of action under RICO must have the following elements: the existence of an enterprise, the enterprise is engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, the defendant has engaged in one or more of four prohibited activities in section 1962, and the prohibited conduct cased injury to the plaintiff’s business or property.

Protections. Every RICO violation involves a collection of an unlawful debt (gambling debts or usury under state or federal law, at a rate at least twice the enforceable usury rate) or a pattern of racketeering activity. RICO can provide a remedy when a lender misrepresents that its rates are better than other lenders’ rates or that its loan will pay off other debts when it will
not. A well-plead allegation may state a claim for mail fraud in a loan flipping case under RICO. A borrower may also successfully plead a claim under RICO when there is a spread premium case where the payment of the premium is not revealed and the cost of the premium is passed onto the borrower in the form of a higher interest rate and where the broker represented that it would provide the lowest available rate, money was exchanged between the broker, the assignee, the funding lender and the title company and mail was used in furtherance of the scheme.

Remedy and Statute of Limitations. A person injured in his business or property can sue for treble damages but no physical or emotional damage claim can be made. The statute of limitations is four years in affirmative cases.

The Right of Rescission:
The right-of-rescission rules are technical, and the consequences of noncompliance can be very costly to the Banks.  Take the time to review the right of rescission rules for closed-end credit.

What is the right of rescission?
The right of rescission is a consumer protection law found within the Truth in Lending Act

Truth In Lending Act — Regulation Z

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Title I of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, is aimed at promoting the informed use of consumer credit by requiring disclosures about its terms and costs. In general, this regulation applies to each individual or business that offers or extends credit when the credit is offered or extended to consumers; the credit is subject to a finance charge or is payable by a written agreement in more than four installments; the credit is primarily for personal, family or household purposes; and the loan balance equals or exceeds $25,000.00 or is secured by an interest in real property or a dwelling.

TILA is intended to enable the customer to compare the cost of cash versus credit transaction and the difference in the cost of credit among different lenders. The regulation also requires a maximum interest rate to be stated in variable rate contracts secured by the borrower’s dwelling, imposes limitations on home equity plans that are subject to the requirements of certain sections of the Act and requires a maximum interest that may apply during the term of a mortgage loan. TILA also establishes disclosure standards for advertisements that refer to certain credit terms.

In addition to financial disclosure, TILA provides consumers with substantive rights in connection with certain types of credit transactions to which it relates, including a right of rescission in certain real estate lending transactions, regulation of certain credit card practices and a means for fair and timely resolution of credit billing disputes. This discussion will be limited to those provisions of TILA that relate specifically to the mortgage lending process, including:

1. Early and Final Regulation Z Disclosure Requirements
2. Disclosure Requirements for ARM Loans
3. Right of Rescission
4. Advertising Disclosure Requirements

Early and Final Regulation Z Disclosure Requirements:

TILA requires lenders to make certain disclosures on loans subject to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) within three business days after their receipt of a written application. This early disclosure statement is partially based on the initial information provided by the consumer. A final disclosure statement is provided at the time of loan closing. The disclosure is required to be in a specific format and include the following information:

Name and address of creditor
Amount financed
Itemization of amount financed (optional, if Good Faith Estimate is   provided)
Finance charge
Annual percentage rate (APR)
Variable rate information
Payment schedule
Total of payments
Demand feature
Total sales price
Prepayment policy
Late payment policy
Security interest
Insurance requirements
Certain security interest charges
Contract reference
Assumption policy
Required deposit information

Disclosure Requirements for ARM Loans:

If the annual percentage rate on a loan secured by the consumer’s principal dwelling may increase after consummation and the term of the loan exceeds one year, TILA requires additional adjustable rate mortgage disclosures to be provided, including:

The booklet titled Consumer Handbook on Adjustable Rate Mortgages, published by the Board and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board or a suitable substitute.
A loan program disclosure for each variable-rate program in which the consumer expresses an interest. The loan program disclosure shall contain the necessary information as prescribed by Regulation Z.
TILA requires servicers to provide subsequent disclosure to consumers on variable rate transactions in each month an interest rate adjustment takes place.

Right of Rescission:

In a credit transaction in which a security interest is or will be retained or acquired in a consumer’s principal dwelling, each consumer whose ownership is or will be subject to the security interest has the right to rescind the transaction. Lenders are required to deliver two copies of the notice of the right to rescind and one copy of the disclosure statement to each consumer entitled to rescind. The notice must be on a separate document that identifies the rescission period on the transaction and must clearly and conspicuously disclose the retention or acquisition of a security interest in the consumer’s principal dwelling; the consumer’s right to rescind the transaction; and how the consumer may exercise the right to rescind with a form for that purpose, designating the address of the lender’s place of business.

In order to exercise the right to rescind, the consumer must notify the creditor of the rescission by mail, telegram or other means of communication. Notice is considered given when mailed, filed for telegraphic transmission or sent by other means, when delivered to the lender’s designated place of business. The consumer may exercise the right to rescind until midnight of the third business day following consummation of the transaction; delivery of the notice of right to rescind; or delivery of all material disclosures, whichever occurs last. When more than one consumer in a transaction has the right to rescind, the exercise of the right by one consumer shall be effective for all consumers.

When a consumer rescinds a transaction, the security interest giving rise to the right of rescission becomes void and the consumer will no longer be liable for any amount, including any finance charge. Within 20 calendar days after receipt of a notice of rescission, the lender is required to return any money or property that was given to anyone in connection with the transaction and must take any action necessary to reflect the termination of the security interest. If the lender has not delivered any money or property, the consumer may retain possession until the lender has complied with the above.

The consumer may modify or waive the right to rescind if the consumer determines that the extension of credit is needed to meet a bona fide personal financial emergency. To modify or waive the right, the consumer must give the lender a dated written statement that describes the emergency, specifically modifies or waives the right to rescind and bears the signature of all of the consumers entitled to rescind. Printed forms for this purpose are prohibited.

Advertising Disclosure Requirements:

If a lender advertises directly to a consumer, TILA requires the advertisement to disclose the credit terms and rate in a certain manner. If an advertisement for credit states specific credit terms, it may state only those terms that actually are or will be arranged or offered by the lender. If an advertisement states a rate of finance charge, it may state the rate as an “annual percentage rate” (APR) using that term. If the annual percentage rate may be increased after consummation the advertisement must state that fact. The advertisement may not state any other rate, except that a simple annual rate or periodic rate that is applied to an unpaid balance may be stated in conjunction with, but not more conspicuously than, the annual percentage rate.

The closed-end rescission rules discussed in this article are found in Title 12 CFR Regulation Z 226.23

The open-end rescission rules rules discussed in this article are found in Title 12 CFR Regulation Z 226.15

Who is able to rescind a loan?

The right of rescission doesn’t apply just to borrowers.  All consumers who have an ownership interest in the property have the right to rescind.

While other parts of Regulation Z typically focus on the borrowers, this is one area where you need to look beyond the applicants, and identify any and all owners of the home being pledged on the transaction. Often times this will require looking at title work and making note of all fee owners of the property.

What does the right of rescission require of lenders?

The right of rescission requires lenders to provide certain “material disclosures” and multiple copies of the right of rescission notice to EACH owner of the property.  Following proper disclosures, lenders must wait at least three business days (until you are reasonably satisfied that the owners have not rescinded) before disbursing loan proceeds.
When does the three-day rescission time clock begin to tick?

The three-day right of rescission period begins once the material disclosures and notice have been given, and lasts three full business days. Business days are defined by Regulation Z to include all calendar days except Sundays and federal holidays. Saturday IS considered a business day for rescission purposes, regardless of whether your offices are open.

In order to properly complete the Notice of Right to Rescind form, you need to know how to calculate the rescission period.  Consider the following example.

Assume a closing is set for Thursday, November 15th, 2001, and that all material disclosures and notices are provided to the parties at that time. The rescission period would run:

Friday, November 16, 2001;

Saturday, November. 17, 2001, and

Monday, November 19, 2001.

Sunday is not counted since it is not considered a business day. The rescission period would end at midnight on November 19, 2001.
When may a borrower waive the right of rescission?

Regulation Z allows borrowers to waive their rescission rights, but this exception only applies in very limited circumstances. The law is protective of the right of rescission, and you should be too.

Borrowers may waive their rescission rights and receive their loan proceeds immediately only if they have what is called a “bona fide personal financial emergency.” This means a financial emergency of the magnitude that waiting an additional three days will be personally or financially devastating to the borrower.  It might include situations involving natural disasters such as flooding, or a medical emergency that requires immediate funds. When this type of situation does arise, the borrower must provide a written explanation of his or her circumstances to the financial institution. This is not a document that you should draft for the borrower.

Waiving the right of rescission is not a common practice, mostly because doing it wrong can backfire and create a rescind able loan, causing all kinds of problems down the road.

What happens once the rescission period is over?

After the right-of-rescission period has expired, make sure you feel reasonably certain that the consumer has not rescinded before you disburse the loan proceeds.  There are some risks in disbursing after the third day.  For example, the law allows consumers to exercise their rescission rights by mail, and a rescission is effective when mailed.  Thus, a rescission mailed on the third day after closing is effective even though the lender may not receive it until the fourth or fifth day after the closing. Because of this potential timing problem, Regulation Z suggests that lenders take extra precautions to ensure that the loan has not been rescinded.

To avoid further delay of the loan proceeds, you may want to obtain a confirmation statement from all the owners stating that they have not exercised their rescission rights. Such a written confirmation provides written documentation that the transaction has not been rescinded. Notice of rescission form contains this confirmation language, which can be an effective way to resolve the rescission issue quickly.

(Note, however, that owners should not sign this confirmation until after the three day period is over.  Otherwise, it may look like they have improperly waived their rescission rights.)

What are the consequences of noncompliance?

There are serious consequences for failing to follow the right-of-rescission rules.  First, until a lender provides the material disclosures and the proper Notice of Right to Rescind, the three-business day rescission period does not start to run, and the transaction remains rescindable for up to three years.  And once a consumer rescinds a transaction, the security interest in the property becomes void and you must reimburse the consumer for all of the finance charges collected over the life of the loan.

Keep in mind that most rescission errors are alleged in response to collection actions or other litigation initiated by the lender.  Because of this, it is important to regularly review your institution’s right of rescission compliance program generally, as well as to verify compliance on the individual level before initiating action against any one borrower.

The following article discussed other particulars of this matter:

Right of Rescission in Times of Foreclosure
By Ken Shim, Senior Examiner, Federal Reserve Bank of New York

Reports of rising numbers of foreclosures continue to dominate the evening news. A joint report from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) issued in March 2010 stated that for the institutions they supervise, mortgages classified as seriously delinquent (in bankruptcy or 60 or more days past due) increased 13.8 percent during the fourth quarter of 2009.  Serious delinquencies for prime mortgages, which make up two-thirds of the mortgages in the institutions’ portfolios, showed a 75 percent increase from a year ago. The report further states that nearly 40 percent of residential mortgage loans for institutions supervised by the OCC and OTS that went through loan modification programs became seriously delinquent only 12 months after the modification. In this economic environment, the number of foreclosures is not likely to decline any time soon.

It is therefore important that lenders pay close attention to the rescission provisions of Regulation Z, the implementing regulation for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). Rescission provides consumers with the right to rescind certain credit transactions secured by their principal dwelling for up to three business days after consummation. However, if creditors fail to provide borrowers with the notice of the right of rescission or the material TILA disclosures, the rescission period is extended to three years. Attorneys representing borrowers in foreclosure will typically scrutinize the notice and TILA disclosures for any violations that would extend the rescission period to three years.

Transactions Subject to the Right of Rescission

In general, the right of rescission applies to both open-end (§226.15) and closed-end (§226.23) consumer credit transactions secured by the consumer’s principal dwelling. However, certain transactions are exempt. For open-end credit, §226.15(f) exempts a “residential mortgage transaction” (a loan to purchase or construct a principal dwelling) and a credit plan in which a state agency is a creditor. For closed-end credit, §226.23(f) exempts the following transactions: (1) a residential mortgage transaction; (2) a refinancing by the same creditor for a previous extension of credit already secured by the consumer’s principal dwelling; (3) a transaction in which a state agency is a creditor; (4) an advance, other than the initial advance, in a series of advances; and (5) a renewal of optional insurance premiums not considered a refinancing under §226.20(a)(5).

These exemptions can create ambiguities. For example, if a borrower offers her current residence as collateral to finance the construction or purchase of another property to be used as a principal residence in the near future, is the loan subject to rescission? The Official Staff Commentary (OSC) to Regulation Z addresses this issue in comment 226.23(a)(1)-4 for closed-end credit and comment 226.15(a)(1)-6 for open-end credit: Transactions such as bridge loans are subject to the right of rescission. The right of rescission also applies when the bridge loan is secured by both the current residence and the new property to be used as a principal residence. The consumer’s current principal dwelling triggers rescission rights in this circumstance because the bridge loan is secured by the current dwelling and is not for the purpose of purchasing that dwelling. But if the consumer’s construction loan for a new principal dwelling is secured only by the new dwelling, the loan would qualify as a residential mortgage transaction that is exempt from rescission.

Another complex situation is whether the residential mortgage transaction exemption applies when a consumer obtains an open-end credit line and uses a portion of the line for a down payment to purchase a dwelling securing the remainder of the line. In this circumstance, comment 226.15(f)-1 clarifies that only the portion of the line used for the down payment is exempt from the right of rescission.

For refinancing of closed-end credit, the right of rescission applies under comment 226.23(f)-4 if a new creditor is involved or if a new advance is made by the existing creditor. A new advance does not include the cost of the refinancing, such as attorney’s fees, title examination, and insurance fees, if bona fide and reasonable. It also does not include any finance charges paid or payable with the new loan.
Regulatory Requirements

Congress included the right of rescission in the TILA legislation to protect homeowners from the practices of unscrupulous home improvement contractors who obtain liens on their customers’ houses, often without their customers’ knowledge. Representative John Sullivan stated that TILA’s rescission requirements would “strike at home improvement racketeers who trick homeowners, particularly the poor, into signing contracts at exorbitant rates, which turn out to be liens on the family residences.”

To protect homeowners from such abuses, Regulation Z requires lenders to provide, in addition to the TILA disclosure statement, two copies of the notice of the right to rescind to each consumer who has an ownership interest in the property. One copy is for the consumer to send to the lender to rescind the loan during the three-business-day period, and the other copy is for the consumer to keep for his or her records, since it contains important information about the consumer’s rights and responsibilities. However, if the notice is delivered in electronic format in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the E-Sign Act), only one copy has to be provided to each consumer.4 The notice must disclose the retention or acquisition of a security interest in the consumer’s principal dwelling, the consumer’s right to rescind, the procedure for the consumer to exercise the right, the effect of exercising the right of rescission, and the date the rescission period ends.

If the lender fails to provide a properly completed rescission notice or if the creditor fails to deliver any of the material disclosures, the consumer’s right to rescind is extended for a period of three years.5 For example, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held in Handy v. Anchor Mortgage Corporation, 464 F.3d 760 (7th Cir. 2006), that the rescission period was extended from three business days to three years because the creditor provided the borrower with two different model rescission notice forms: H-8 (the general form) and H-9 (refinancing with original creditor). Form H-8 was appropriate for the transaction. The court held that providing two forms, one of which was incorrect for the transaction, violated TILA’s “clear and conspicuous” requirements. Similarly, in Harris v. OSI Financial Services, Inc., 595 F.Supp.2d 885 (N.D. Ill. 2009), the court extended the rescission period to three years because the creditor used model form H-8 when it should have used form H-9.

Lenders are prohibited from disbursing the funds (other than in escrow), performing services for the consumer, or delivering materials to the consumer until the three-business-day rescission period has ended, and the lender has reasonable assurance that the consumer has not rescinded the transaction. Failure to comply with the three-business-day waiting period requirement can have serious consequences. For example, in Rand Corporation v. Yer Song Moua, 559 F.3d 842 (8th Cir. 2009), the Eighth Circuit held that a creditor who required borrowers to sign a statement at loan closing acknowledging receipt of the rescission notice and falsely stating that the three-day rescission period had passed and that the borrowers had not rescinded the transaction violated TILA and extended the rescission period from three business days to three years. The court cited numerous other decisions that reached the same conclusion.

All consumers with an ownership interest in the property that will be encumbered by the creditor’s security interest must receive a rescission notice, even if they are not applying for credit. Only one consumer’s exercise of the rescission right is necessary to rescind the loan. Therefore, lenders must be certain that each consumer with an ownership interest has agreed not to rescind by the end of the rescission period. The only time lenders are permitted to disburse the funds prior to the end of the rescission period is when the consumer requests the funds based on a bona fide personal financial emergency.

The three-business-day rescission period begins following the date of consummation, delivery of two notices of the right to rescind to each consumer, or delivery of all material disclosures, whichever occurs last. For the purpose of the right of rescission, business day includes all calendar days except Sundays and legal public holidays. Lenders must disclose the last day for the consumer to rescind the loan by applying this correct definition of business day. In Cornerstone Mortgage, Inc. v. Ponzar, 254 S.W.3d 221 (Mo.App. E.D. 2008), the creditor’s rescission notice erroneously stated that the last day for the borrowers to exercise their right of rescission was January 15, 2006. The correct date was January 17, 2006, but the creditor failed to exclude Sunday and a legal holiday when calculating three business days. As a result, the court held that the rescission period was extended to three years. A related problem occurs when the creditor fails to disclose the deadline for exercising the right of rescission in the rescission notice. In Johnson v. Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A., 2007 WL 2033833 (E.D.Pa. July 11, 2007), the court extended the rescission period to three years because the creditor left a blank in the deadline area of the rescission notice: “If you cancel by mail or telegram, you must send the notice no later than midnight of [left blank] (or midnight of the third business day following the latest of the three events listed above).”

It is important to understand the definition of “consummation” for the purpose of calculating the three-business-day rescission period. Section 226.2(a)(13) defines “consummation” as “the time that a consumer becomes contractually obligated on a credit transaction.” Comment 226.2(a)(13)-1 clarifies that this determination must be made by reference to applicable state law. For example, in Murphy v. Empire of America, FSA, 746 F.2d 931, 934 (2d Cir. 1984), the Second Circuit concluded, based on New York law, that consummation occurred once the borrowers accepted the lender’s commitment offer.

The meaning of “consummation” is also important for determining whether a consumer can exercise the right of rescission. The Fourth Circuit recently had to determine whether loan applicants could exercise the right of rescission for an unconsummated credit transaction. In Weintraub v. Quicken Loans, Inc., 594 F.3d 270 (4th Cir. 2010), applicants who had been approved for a loan attempted to rescind it prior to closing to obtain a refund of their deposit because the rate increased. The court rejected their rescission request because it found that rescission applies only to consummated credit transactions, and the loan was never consummated. The Weintraub case is discussed in greater detail in “On the Docket.”

Material Disclosures for the Purpose of Rescission

The three-business-day rescission clock commences following the date of consummation, delivery of two notices of the right to rescind, or delivery of all the material disclosures, whichever occurs last. Material disclosures are defined in footnote 36 of §226.15(a)(3) for open-end credit and in footnote 48 of §226.23(a)(3) for closed-end credit. For open-end transactions, the material disclosures are:

the method of determining the finance charge and the balance upon which a finance charge will be imposed;
the annual percentage rate (APR);
the amount or method of determining the amount of any membership or participation fee that could be charged;
the length of the draw period and any repayment period;
an explanation of how the minimum payment is calculated;
the timing of the payments; and
if payment of only the minimum periodic payment may not repay any of the principal or may repay less than the outstanding balance, a statement of this fact as well as that a balloon payment may result.

For closed-end transactions, the material disclosures are:

the APR;
the finance charge;
the amount financed;
the total of payments;
the payment schedule;
the high-cost loan disclosures in §226.32(c) and restrictions in §226.32(d); and
the restrictions on prepayment penalties for higher priced mortgage loans in §226.35(b)(2)

Rescission Tolerance

Creditors should be especially careful with disclosures for the APR, the finance charge, and the payment schedule because violations of these disclosures most frequently trigger the three-year rescission period. Section 226.23(g) provides a tolerance for errors in disclosures affected by the finance charge, including the amount financed and the APR. These disclosures are considered accurate if the disclosed finance charge is understated by no more than 0.5 percent of the face amount of the note or $100, whichever is greater, or if it is overstated by any amount. For a refinance with a new creditor, the disclosures are considered accurate if the finance charge is understated by no more than 1 percent of the face amount of the note or $100, whichever is greater. A special rule applies when the consumer’s principal dwelling securing a consumer credit transaction is in foreclosure. The disclosed finance charge is accurate if it is understated by no more than $35 or if it is overstated. Thus, the margin of error in foreclosure proceedings is lower.

The regulation does not provide any accuracy tolerances for the payment schedule disclosures. Therefore, any error involving this material disclosure can trigger a three-year rescission period. For example, in Hamm v. Ameriquest Mortgage Company, 506 F.3d 525 (7th Cir. 2007), the Seventh Circuit held that a creditor’s disclosure statement that identified the payment amount and the number of payments (360) but failed to state that payments were due monthly violated TILA. As a result, the consumer was granted three years to exercise the right to rescind.

Exercising Rescission Rights

Once the borrower exercises the right of rescission, any security interest the creditor obtained is void, regardless of its status and whether it was recorded or perfected. The borrower cannot be required to pay any amount to the lender or a third party in connection with the credit transaction. Any amounts already paid, including broker fees, application and commitment fees, or fees for a title search or an appraisal, must be refunded. Within 20 calendar days after receipt of the notice of rescission, the lender must take action to terminate the security interest and return any money in connection with the transaction. When the lender has complied with these requirements, the borrower must tender the money or property to the lender.8 If the lender fails to take possession of the money or property within 20 calendar days after the borrower’s tender, the borrower may keep it without further obligation. However, these procedures may be modified by court order.

Statute of Limitation for Rescission

In cases where the right of rescission is extended to three years, the question has arisen whether courts can extend the three-year period. The United States Supreme Court addressed this issue in Beach v. Ocwen Federal Bank, 523 U.S. 410 (1998), where the court held that the borrower’s right of rescission expires three years after the date of consummation of the transaction or upon the sale of the property, whichever occurs first, even if the lender failed to provide all material disclosures or notice of the right of rescission. The court based this conclusion on the express language in §125(f) of TILA (15 U.S.C. §1635(f)): “An obligor’s right of rescission shall expire three years after the date of consummation of the transaction or upon the sale of the property, whichever occurs first, notwithstanding the fact that the information and forms required under this section or any other disclosures required under this part have not been delivered to the obligor.”

This limitation on extending the three-year period also applies to mortgages in foreclosure under §125(i)(1) of TILA (15 U.S.C. §1635(i)(1)).

Another important limitation on the right of rescission concerns lawsuits seeking class-action certification for violations of the right of rescission. A number of courts have recently held that the right of rescission cannot be adjudicated in a class-action lawsuit because rescission raises individual issues that are not appropriate for class-wide determination. See Andrews v. Chevy Chase Bank, 545 F.3d 570 (7th Cir. 2008), McKenna v. First Horizon Home Loan Corp., 475 F.3d 418 (1st Cir. 2007), and LaLiberte v. Pacific Mercantile Bank, 53 Cal. Rptr.3d 745 (Cal. Ct. App. 2007).

In addition, institutions purchasing loans are subject to the right of rescission. Under §131(c) of TILA, (15 U.S.C. §1641(c)), any consumer who has the right to rescind a transaction may rescind against any assignee. See, for example, Shepeard v. Quality Siding & Window Factory, Inc., 730 F.Supp. 1295 (D.Del. 1990) (allowing consumers to exercise rescission against an assignee).

Conclusion

The current mortgage crisis has made compliance with the requirements of the right of rescission under TILA more important than ever. Creditors must ensure compliance with Regulation Z technical rules related to rescission. At a minimum, lenders must establish clear and detailed procedures and provide sufficient training to their staff to ensure day-to-day compliance with these provisions. One mistake can result in a three-year rescission period and lost fees and interest over that period. Specific issues and questions should be raised with the consumer compliance contact at your Reserve Bank or with your primary regulator.
