C.A.R. Legal Updates

Regulation Z Advertising Disclosures:

Regulation Z specifically regulates the way certain types of consumer credit can be advertised. For example, it regulates the advertising of finance charges, and requires that consumers be given a "complete picture" of the financing being offered. This Legal Q&A provides an overview of these advertising rules as they apply to closed-end credit (typically credit offered for a fixed term, as opposed to ongoing "open-end" credit transactions such as credit cards and revolving charge accounts).

Requests for Repair and Use of the RR and RRRR Forms:

This Q&A addresses the most common questions about the RR and RRRR forms fielded by the Legal Hotline attorneys. It will explain the advantages of the forms; answer technical questions associated with filling them out; and provide practical tips for both listing and buyer's agents.
