Compliance with the amended Military Lending Act regulations becomes mandatory on October 3. Are you ready?

The Military Lending Act ("MLA") was enacted to protect members of the military and some of their dependents from predatory lending. The new regulations do that by:

 limiting the interest rate that may be charged (and by telling lenders how to compute that rate),

 prohibiting contracts from including certain provisions, and

 requiring lenders to make certain disclosures.

Lenders have a duty to take affirmative steps to find out which borrowers are covered; they may not wait for borrowers to tell them.

Penalties for noncompliance with the new regulations can be serious, and include invalidating the loan in its entirety and/or punitive damages.

During this program, attorney Eric North talks with participants about—

Various ways you can determine which credit applicants are covered by the MLA regulations—even those covered because they are "dependents" of someone serving in the military.
Which credit products are covered by the MLA regulations. (After October 3 the list will be much longer than it is now.)
What happens when a borrower who was not covered begins service, or when a covered borrower leaves service.
How to calculate the "military annual percentage rate."
What written disclosures are required by the new MLA regulations.
What oral disclosures are required, and how to give them.
What exceptions apply.
