Truth in Lending (Regulation Z) (Us Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Regulation) (Cfpb) (2018 Edition) The Law Library

Truth in Lending (Regulation Z) (US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Regulation) (CFPB) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Truth in Lending (Regulation Z) (US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Regulation) (CFPB) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) issues this final rule to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the official interpretations to the regulation. Regulation Z generally prohibits a card issuer from opening a credit card account for a consumer, or increasing the credit limit applicable to a credit card account, unless the card issuer considers the consumer's ability to make the required payments under the terms of such account. Regulation Z currently requires that issuers consider the consumer's independent ability to pay, regardless of the consumer's age; in contrast, TILA expressly requires consideration of an independent ability to pay only for applicants who are under the age of 21. The final rule amends Regulation Z to remove the requirement that issuers consider the consumer's independent ability to pay for applicants who are 21 or older, and permits issuers to consider income and assets to which such consumers have a reasonable expectation of access.
