A borrower refinances their home on Monday and receives proper TILA disclosures. On Wednesday, they decide to rescind but realize they need the loan proceeds to pay off credit cards due Thursday. What happens if they rescind?

Correct Answer

C) They can rescind and have 20 days to return loan proceeds after the lender returns their payments

Under TILA Section 125(b), when a borrower rescinds, they have 20 days after the creditor takes the required rescission actions (returning money and releasing the security interest) to tender back any loan proceeds. The borrower's financial situation doesn't affect their rescission rights.

C
