Abstract:
Federal and state enforcement agencies and private litigants use records retained under the requirement of Regulation Z to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of the cost of credit have been provided to consumers prior to consummation of the credit obligation and, in some instances, during the loan term. The information is also used to determine whether other actions required under the TILA, including complying with billing error resolution procedures and limitation of consumer liability for unauthorized use of credit, have been met. The information retained provides the primary evidence of law violations in TILA enforcement actions brought by federal agencies. Without the Regulation Z recordkeeping requirement, the agencies' ability to enforce the TILA would be significantly impaired. As noted above, consumers rely on the disclosures required by the TILA and Regulation Z to shop among options and to facilitate informed credit decision making. Without this information, consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of financing offered. Also, without the special billing error information, consumers would be unable to detect and correct errors or fraudulent charges on their open-end credit accounts. Additionally, enforcement agencies and private litigants need the information in these disclosures to enforce the TILA and Regulation Z. See 15 U.S.C. 1607, 1640.
