When can you exercise the right of rescission? |
|
|
- You have three business days to rescind from the consummation of the transaction, delivery of proper notice of rescission rights, or delivery of all material disclosure correctly made.
- The three days begin to run when all material disclosure and proper notice of right to rescind is received. - As a result, the continuing right to rescind may be extended for up to three-years (3) from consummation. - The right of rescission may be terminated sooner upon transfer of the consumer's interest in the property (including involuntary), or sale. |

How Does The Rescission Work? |
|
|
Sending a valid cancellation notice triggers the following consequences:
1. Step 1: The security interest in the property is automatically voided and the consumer's obligation to pay finance charges (even if accrued) an other charges are automatically eliminated. 2. Step 2: The creditor or assignee has twenty-days to refund or credit the account all payments (including any money or property given to a third party) and to take steps to void the security interest. 3. Step 3: When the creditor performs its previous step obligation, the consumer tenders back the balance of money or property or the reasonable value of the property. 4. Courts have equitable authority to modify steps 2 and 3. |
