An Inclination to Borrow from Alternative Providers
As individuals become more inclined to get funding from alternative sources, lending
institutions are enjoying a rise in revenue and an expansion in their market. Lenders
and borrowers, however, must ensure a responsible undertaking of transactions to
maintain smooth operations and high revenues.
The following content summarizes information on the borrower’s rights and lender’s
responsibilities, according to the Federal Trade Commission and the law.
3. Borrower’s Rights
The Federal Trade Commission and the Code of Federal Regulation list the following as
significant points borrowers need to remember before applying for a loan:
• Borrowers must know the cost of borrowing, according to the Federal Truth in
Lending Act. Because the amount is not all there is to the transaction, it is
necessary to disclose other fees, lest the borrower may have problems in paying
them.
• Borrowers may give their permission to the lender to deposit the amount, less the
fee, to their account electronically.
• They may prepay the full amount without penalty.
• A borrower does not have to start repayment until after nine full months of
leaving school or beginning an internship or residency program.
• Their total loan obligation is cancelled in the event of death or permanent
disability.
