General Scope of Right of Cancellation:
Credit transaction in which a security interest is or will be retained or acquired in a consumer's principal dwelling.
1. Residential Mortgage Transaction. Any transaction to construct (initial construction not subsequent improvement) or acquire a principal dwelling. The lien status of the mortgage is irrelevant for purposes of the exemption; the fact that a loan has junior lien status does not by itself preclude application of this exemption. For example, a homebuyer may assume the existing first mortgage and create a second mortgage to finance the balance of the purchase price. Such a transaction would not be rescindable. TILA § 103, § 125, Commentary 1026.23(f)(1).
2. Combined-Purpose Transaction. A loan to acquire a principal dwelling and make improvements to that dwelling is exempt if treated as one transaction. If, on the other hand, the loan for the acquisition of the principal dwelling and the subsequent advances for improvements are treated as more than one transaction, then only the transaction that finances the acquisition of that dwelling is exempt. Commentary 1026.23(f)(3).
3. Multiple Purpose Transactions. If any part of the loan proceeds will be used to finance the acquisition or initial construction of the consumer's principal dwelling. For example, a transaction to finance the initial construction of the consumer's principal dwelling is a residential mortgage transaction even if a portion of the funds will be disbursed directly to the consumer or used to satisfy a loan for the purchase of the land on which the dwelling will be built. Commentary 1026.2(a)(24)(6).
4. Same/Original Lender Refinance. "Original Lender" means the lender on the original note or the lender who acquired the note thru merger, consolidation or acquisition of the original lender. In a refinancing or consolidation by the "original" creditor of an extension of credit already secured by the consumer's principal dwelling, the right of rescission shall apply, however, to the extent the new amount financed exceeds the sum of (1) the unpaid principal balance plus (2) any earned unpaid finance charge on the existing debt, plus (3) any amounts attributed solely to the costs of the refinancing or consolidation. TILA § 125(e), Commentary 1026.23(f)(4).
5. Construction to Perm. If the initial loan is a construction loan that meets the definition of a residential mortgage transaction (i.e. for initial improvements), the permanent financing, even from a different lender, is also exempt as a residential mortgage transaction. Commentary 1026.2(a)(24)(4).
6. Other. There are additional exemptions regarding New Advances, State Creditors, Multiple Advances, Spreader Clauses and Conversion of Open-End to Close-End credit. See PPDocs, Inc. for details.
