An annual compliance meeting raises a question about TILA right of rescission. Which action should the renewal specialist recommend?
Correct Answer
B) Recognize rescission applies to covered principal-dwelling security interests
Why this is correct: The TILA right of rescission is triggered for certain loans where the consumer's principal dwelling is taken as security, typically in refinances or home equity loans. The correct answer, "Recognize rescission applies to covered principal-dwelling security interests," accurately identifies the scope of the rule. A renewal specialist must understand this to give proper advice. Why the other choices are wrong: "Use an internal exception" is wrong because the right of rescission is a federal statutory right for consumers; a lender cannot create internal exceptions to avoid it. "Resolve the issue with the privacy notice exception" is wrong because privacy notices (GLBA) and rescission (TILA) are completely separate legal requirements; one cannot be used to resolve the other. "Rely on oral agreement" is wrong because rescission rights must be provided in writing; oral agreements do not satisfy the legal requirement to deliver the notice of the right to rescind. Exam tip: Rescission applies to "principal dwelling" security interests. It's a key exam distinction from purchase-money mortgages used to buy the home, which are generally exempt.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The correct response is "Recognize rescission applies to covered principal-dwelling security interests" because TILA rescission rights protect consumers with ownership interests in a principal dwelling.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Use an internal exception instead of the required federal disclosure or timing rule.

Option C: Resolve the TILA Right of Rescission issue with the privacy notice exception that does not fit the facts.
This distractor shifts the issue to a different trigger, product, or timing rule instead of applying the rule tested in the stem.
Option D: Rely on oral agreement when the rule requires documented compliance.
Rely on oral agreement when the rule requires documented compliance. is not correct because it does not apply the rule tested by this file scenario.
Memory Technique
TILA right of rescission: identify the rule being tested, then choose the action that documents or applies that rule before the file moves forward.
