Highlights:
The revisions to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) early disclosure
requirements, incorporating the MDIA amendments:
- expand the requirements to mortgage loans secured by any dwelling of a consumer. The
requirements no longer are limited to a consumer's "principal" dwelling. The early disclosure
requirements also now cover refinancings and home equity loans.
- require delivery or mailing of the early disclosures within three business days of receiving a
consumer's mortgage loan application. A lender also must wait until at least seven business days
after delivery of the disclosures before consummating the mortgage loan.
- require corrected disclosures to be delivered at least three business days before consummation
if the annual percentage rate provided in the early disclosures changes beyond the tolerances
provided in Section 226.22.
- prohibit a lender from charging a consumer any fee, except to obtain a credit report, until
after the early disclosures have been provided.
- permit a consumer to expedite the closing of a mortgage loan subject to the early disclosure
provisions to address a personal financial emergency, such as foreclosure.
- inform a consumer that he or she is not required to complete the transaction because the
consumer has received the early disclosures or applied for a loan.
