Truth in Lending Violation Defense

The purchase of a home is often one of the most important purchases one will make in their lifetime, and one that carries of lot of financial weight. This significance is made clear in the Truth in Lending Act, which was enacted in 1968 as way of regulating the credit industry. It obligates lenders and businesses offering credit to give consumers a clear statement, known as a TIL disclosure, about the cost and risks associated with taking out the loan. This is meant to give the borrower security in having the exact costs of their loan spelled out for them, how much they are to put down each month, and the aggregate total of their financial commitment. Unfortunately, however, sometimes the exact opposite occurs when the lender violates the contract in some way- taking advantage of your time, money and financial security.

In dealing with such a drawn out, complicated legal process, it can be easy for the borrower to miss instances of violations that will harm their financial benefits and put them at unfair disadvantages that they shouldn’t ever be subject to. However, once a violation comes to your attention, it is difficult to know how to proceed in fighting for the compensation and correction of your loan. If not attended to properly, you may end up losing some of what you are entitled to. It is important that you have the proper guidance from someone who has experience in foreclosure defense who can walk you through the process.
