What happens if borrowers who are refinancing do not receive their decision disclosures or their APR is off by max variance?

• A. The loan rescission period extends from 3 days to 3 years
• B. The loan rescission period remains 3 days
• C. Rescission rights are permanently waived
• D. No effect on rescission

Answer: (A)

The rule in play is that refinancing a loan on a borrower's principal dwelling carries a standard three-day rescission period, but that period can be extended if the lender fails to provide required disclosures or if the APR is misstated beyond the permissible variance. When those disclosure failures occur or the APR is off beyond the allowed tolerance, the borrower gains up to three years from consummation to exercise rescission. This protects borrowers who didn’t receive accurate or complete information at the time of closing. So, the rescission window is extended to three years in these scenarios, rather than staying at three days, being waived, or having no effect.
