The Truth in Lending Act of 1968 (TILA) was a landmark piece of legislation that was designed to inform consumers about the true cost of credit. Prior to the TILA, lenders used many different methods to calculate the stated interest rate on a loan. The TILA required all lenders to state an annual percentage rate (APR) that was calculated on a consistent basis. This allowed consumers to compare rates, and to assess the cost of borrowing. Over the years, however, banks and other lenders sought and obtained numerous exceptions that allowed them to charge fees that were not included or disclosed in the APR. This practice has become so egregious that in a recent case, Pennsylvania Department of Banking v. NCAS of Delaware, a lender was able to legally claim an APR of 5.98%, while the actual ...

The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) is proposing to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth In Lending Act, and the official interpretation to the regulation, which interprets the requirements of Regulation Z. Regulation Z generally limits the total amount of fees that a credit card issuer may require a consumer to pay with respect to an account, limiting fees to 25 percent of the credit limit in effect when the account is opened. Regulation Z currently states that this limitation applies prior to account opening and during the first year after account opening. The proposal requests comment on whether to amend Regulation Z to apply the limitation only during the first year after account opening.
