The Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., was enacted to foster comparison credit shopping and informed credit decision making by requiring accurate disclosure of the costs and terms of credit to consumers and to protect consumers against inaccurate and unfair credit billing practices. Creditors are subject to disclosure and other requirements that apply to open-end credit (e.g., revolving credit or credit lines) and closed-end credit (e.g., installment financing). TILA imposes disclosure requirements on all types of creditors in connection with consumer credit, including mortgage companies, finance companies, retailers, and credit card issuers, to ensure that consumers are fully apprised of the terms of financing prior to consummation of the transaction and, as in the case of the regulations covered by this rulemaking, during the loan term.
This proposal would make several substantive changes to the TILA-RESPA Final Rule, along with clarifications, minor changes, and technical corrections: a) creating tolerance provisions for the total of payments disclosure in the Closing Disclosure; b) removing recording fees and taxes from the calculation of 1% threshold for the purposes of 1026.3(h) requirements; c) confirming that information collection requirements under the TILA-RESPA Final Rule apply to transactions secured by cooperative units; and d) confirming that post-consummation disclosure requirements apply to all covered transactions, not only those with an application date on or after October 3, 2015.
