A mortgage broker advertises a 30-year fixed-rate loan at a 2.00% rate. After the borrower arrives at the office and begins an application, the broker explains that the 2.00% is no longer available, as his office was only able to do a limited number of them. This broker is in violation of what law

Truth in Lending Act (TILA)

Explanation:

Mortgage brokering can be defined as a process which typically involves a mortgage broker acting as an intermediary between a financial institution (mortgage bank) offering loans and an individual that seeks to collect a loan.

This ultimately implies that, a mortgage broker acts as an intermediary (middleman) by connecting a creditor (lender) to those seeking to get a loan (borrower).

The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) also known as Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) is a federal law of the United States of America that was enacted by the 89th US Congress and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on the 29th of May, 1968.

The main purpose of this federal law (Act) is to protect the consumer while using credit by mandating businesses to provide a full disclosure of the terms and conditions with respect to the credit.

According to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), businesses are required to explain all collection fees, finance charges, late charges and interest charges up front before the time of service or application process commence.

In this scenario, a mortgage broker advertised a 30-year fixed-rate loan with an interest rate of 2.00%.

However, when the borrower arrived at the office of the mortgage broker and begins an application, the broker then went ahead to explain that the 2.00% interest rate is no longer available because his office was only able to do a limited number of them.

Thus, this broker is in violation of Truth in Lending Act (TILA).
