CORRECTION ON 20 DAY WINDOW IN TILA RESCISSION — DATE OF RECEIPT

While it is true that the loan deal is over the moment that the notice of cancellation and/or rescission is put in the mail, there is a different starting date for when the recipient is bound to comply with TILA Rescission statutes. The days for compliance begin upon presumed receipt or actual receipt depending upon the facts of the situation Since nobody has ever filed one of those actions (or at least I have not found one) it doesn’t seem to make much difference. And none of that changes the fact that the loan deal, the note and the mortgage are void the moment the notice is dropped in the mail which is a point in time before the clock starts ticking against the banks to return the canceled note, file the satisfaction of mortgage and pay the money to the borrower. If more than one year elapses after receipt or presumed receipt of the notice then not only is the note and mortgage void, but the debt is too. [But the borrower’s right to collect disgorgement of all money paid or compensated as a result of the subject loan is also lost after one year].

Hat tip to Carol Molloy in Tennessee for pointing this out to me.
