A lender quotes an APR of 4.25% on a mortgage loan, but the actual APR calculation results in 4.28%. Under TILA's APR accuracy tolerance, is this disclosure compliant?
Correct Answer
B) Yes, because the difference is less than 0.125 percentage points
Under TILA/Regulation Z Section 1026.22, for closed-end credit secured by real property, the APR is considered accurate if it is not more than 0.125 percentage points above or below the actual APR. Since 4.28% - 4.25% = 0.03%, which is less than 0.125%, this disclosure is compliant.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under TILA/Regulation Z Section 1026.22, for closed-end credit secured by real property, the APR is considered accurate if it is not more than 0.125 percentage points above or below the actual APR. Since 4.28% - 4.25% = 0.03%, which is less than 0.125%, this disclosure is compliant.
