The creditor shall clearly and conspicuously disclose, in accordance with regulations of the XXXX, to any obligor in a transaction subject to this section the rights of the obligor under this section. The creditor shall also provide, in accordance with regulations of the XXXX, appropriate forms for the obligor to exercise his right to rescind any transaction subject to this section. 

( b ) Return of money or property following rescission When an obligor exercises his right to rescind under subsection ( a ), he is not liable for any finance or other charge, and any security interest given by the obligor, including any such interest arising by operation of law, becomes void upon such a rescission. Within 20 days after receipt of a notice of rescission, the creditor shall return to the obligor any money or property given as XXXX money, downpayment, or otherwise, and shall take any action necessary or appropriate to reflect the termination of any security interest created under the transaction.

( c ) Rebuttable presumption of delivery of required disclosures Notwithstanding any rule of evidence, written acknowledgment of receipt of any disclosures required under this subchapter by a person to whom information, forms, and a statement is required to be given pursuant to this section does no more than create a rebuttable presumption of delivery thereof.

( f ) Time limit for exercise of right XXXX obligors right of rescission shall expire XXXX years after the date of consummation of the transaction or upon the sale of the property, whichever occurs first, notwithstanding the fact that the information and forms required under this section or any other disclosures required under this part have not been delivered to the obligor, except that if ( XXXX ) any agency empowered to enforce the provisions of this subchapter institutes a proceeding to enforce the provisions of this section within XXXX years after the date of consummation of the transaction, ( XXXX ) such agency finds a violation of this section, and ( XXXX ) the obligors right to rescind is based in whole or in part on any matter involved in such proceeding, then the obligors right of rescission shall expire XXXX years after the date of consummation of the transaction or upon the earlier sale of the property, or upon the expiration of XXXX year following the conclusion of the proceeding, or any judicial review or period for judicial review thereof, whichever is later.

( h ) Limitation on rescission An obligor shall have no rescission rights arising solely from the form of written notice used by the creditor to inform the obligor of the rights of the obligor under this section, if the creditor provided the obligor the appropriate form of written notice published and adopted by the XXXX, or a comparable written notice of the rights of the obligor, that was properly completed by the creditor, and otherwise complied with all other requirements of this section regarding notice. 

( i ) Rescission rights in foreclosure ( XXXX ) In general Notwithstanding section XXXX of this title, and subject to the time period provided in subsection ( f ), in addition to any other right of rescission available under this section for a transaction, after the initiation of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure process on the primary dwelling of an obligor securing an extension of credit, the obligor shall have a right to rescind the transaction equivalent to other rescission rights provided by this section, if ( A ) a mortgage broker fee is not included in the finance charge in accordance with the laws and regulations in effect at the time the consumer credit transaction was consummated ; or ( B ) the form of notice of rescission for the transaction is not the appropriate form of written notice published and adopted by the XXXX or a comparable written notice, and otherwise complied with all the requirements of this section regarding notice. 
( XXXX ) Tolerance for disclosures Notwithstanding section XXXX ( f ) of this title, and subject to the time period provided in subsection ( f ), for the purposes of exercising any rescission rights after the initiation of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure process on the principal dwelling of the obligor securing an extension of credit, the disclosure of the finance charge and other disclosures affected by any finance charge shall be treated as being accurate for purposes of this section if the amount disclosed as the finance charge does not vary from the actual finance charge by more than {$35.00} or is greater than the amount required to be disclosed under this subchapter.
