Open end credit question:

I have a lender who refinanced a $100,000 HELOC into another $100,000 HELOC (he said he renewed it, but he did a new note, so I'm calling it a refi). He claims that the right of rescission should not apply to the new note as there was no new money, no new security interest. I was under the impression that on a HELOC, the right to rescind should always be provided when they signed the note. So I started reading to find the exact citation to back me up.

In my reading, I found that 226.15(a)(1)(ii) states that the consumer does not have the right to rescind each credit extension made under the plan if such extension is made in accordance with a previously established credit limit for the plan.

Does that apply to my situation? Any help offered would be appreciated.

Thanks!

No - it is a new plan, it is not a extension of credit under the old plan. There is no refinancing exemption in the open-end credit rules (226.15) like there is in the closed-end credit rules (226.23)for the right of rescission.

Thank you!

Now, if he would have just modified the original HELOC (prior to maturity) to extend the maturity date, would rescission have been required for that?

No, that would not be a new plan provided the modification did not increase the LOC. In that case the ROR would apply.

Dan, did you mean, would NOT apply?

I think he meant that if we increased the LOC, that RoR would apply.
