Chicago, Illinois Truth in Lending Act Attorneys
The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) of 1968 is designed to protect consumers in various types of credit transactions. It requires lenders to disclose the actual cost of the borrowed money. Truth in lending can apply to mortgage loans, auto loans, credit cards and other lines of credit. When a lender violates the Truth in Lending Act, consumers can suffer financial hardship, including home foreclosure.

Understanding home mortgage law and TILA
The TILA requires full and clear disclosure of the terms of a mortgage. This includes the true cost of the money you are borrowing, including the amount that is financed, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), finance charges and lines of credit. A good faith estimate itemizes these costs at the beginning stages of the application process.
