A completed application arrives on 4 May. The lender declines it on 20 May and posts the notice on 8 June.

Correct Answer

B) Late: notice was due within 30 days of the completed application

The clock runs from receipt of the completed application, so 4 May plus 30 days gives 3 June and a notice posted on 8 June is late. Other choices: dating the period from the internal decision would let a lender extend it by deciding slowly; 45 days is not a period in this section; and 15 days is shorter than the rule requires. Source: 12 CFR 1002.9(a)(1)
