What regulation implements the Truth in Lending Act?

• A. Reg Z
• B. Reg B
• C. Reg X
• D. Reg Y

Answer: (A)

Regulation Z implements the Truth in Lending Act. The Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to clearly disclose the cost and terms of credit to consumers so they can compare offers. Regulation Z turns that statute into concrete rules about what must be disclosed and how, including the annual percentage rate (APR), the finance charges, the amount financed, the total payments, and the payment schedule. It also governs how loan terms can be advertised to prevent misinformation and, in dwelling-secured loans, provides the right of rescission in certain cases. The other regulations correspond to different laws (for example, Regulation B covers equal credit opportunity, Regulation X covers RESPA), so they don’t implement the Truth in Lending Act.
