Home Equity Lines for Good Credit and Bad Credit Mortgage Loans

Tip! Don't just settle for low home equity loan interest rates when comparing home equity lenders. Lenders that offer low interest rates tend to have stiffer terms.

Truth in Lending Laws

As a borrower, it is often difficult to know your legal rights regarding home equity lines of credit. This is especially true with private hard money loans from bad credit mortgage lenders. Borrowers need to be aware that the Truth in Lending Act requires lenders to disclose the specific terms and costs of their home equity plans - terms such as APR, broker charges, the payment terms, and any variable-rates that may apply. It is also important to note that a lender and anyone else associated with the transaction may not charge a fee until after the terms and costs have been disclosed to the borrower. These disclosures will typically be available to you once your receive the application form from the lender. If a term or cost in the loan is altered or changed before the loan goes into effect (other than a variable-rate feature), the borrower must be informed. If this causes the borrower the change their mind about the loan, the lender is required to refund any fees collected.

Your Rights with a Home Equity Line of Credit

Whether you are dealing with a bad credit loan or an A-paper home equity line, the Truth in Lending Act gives borrowers a three day rescission period, essentially a small window of time to change their mind about the bad credit loan. If a borrower decides that the bad credit loan or traditional home equity loan is not right for them, they can inform the creditor in writing during this recession period of their change of heart. The bad credit lender must then cancel the security interest in the home and return to the borrower all fees involved.

Tip! Always get hold of all the information of the home equity loan fees and charge before you sign the contract. Some home equity lenders feature packages.

Knowing your rights can save you from making the wrong decision when it comes to a bad credit lender loan or traditional home equity loan!
