You said a commercial loan, so Reg. P would not apply, but even if it did under 1016.15(a)(2) you have the following exception:
(iv) To persons holding a legal or beneficial interest relating to the consumer
If pledging collateral for a loan is not a legal or beneficial interest relating to the consumer, I'm not sure what is.
