More Evidence That Consumers Dont Use TILA Forms to Shop
December 10, 2012
In a development that might catch the attention of officials at the CFPB who are working on improving consumer disclosures under the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act and the Truth In Lending Act, more evidence has emerged that consumers arent very big on using TILA forms to comparison shop for mortgages.A new study from Fannie Mae found that nearly half of lower‐income respondents and more than a third of higher‐income respondents get quotes from only one mortgage lender. The survey also confirms findings in other reports that a substantial portion of all consumers do not understand key mortgage elements.
