Statute overview

About this statute

Companies may take disputes with consumers to consumer arbitration by joining the Consumer Arbitration System. The article allows certain consumer-protection bodies and organizations to bring an action to stop conduct contrary to the law that harms consumers’ collective or diffuse interests. Companies advertising loans or mortgage loans must disclose the APR with a representative example, and must not mention lower monthly payments without also stating the increase in outstanding principal and the repayment term. Las empresas deben entregar gratuitamente a los consumidores que pidan un préstamo o crédito hipotecario un folleto informativo con el contenido exigido. El consumidor puede conservarlo aunque no contrate. La empresa debe dar al consumidor información previa gratuita sobre el contrato hipotecario con al menos cinco días de antelación y en soporte escrito o duradero.
