[SS Fed] Truth-in-Lending Act – Part I

Course Description

Congress enacted the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) as Title I of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA). TILA is a law that is intended to protect consumers in the financial marketplace by providing them with disclosures that will help them to understand the financial products that they are purchasing. The stated purpose of the law is to encourage the “informed use of credit” by assuring that consumers are able to compare more readily the various credit terms available to them.

This course provides an overview of TILA, including an explanation of which types of loans are covered under the law, important definitions, and provisions of TILA related to the finance charge and annual percentage rate.
