Prepayment Penalty Disclosures
04/01/2002
We are considering giving away a vacation trip for every new consumer loan made over a certain dollar amount. The loans can be unsecured or secured. We want to charge a prepayment penalty if the borrower pays the loan off in a month or two just to get the trip. How do we disclose this to the customer or are there any regulations that restrict what we can give away or the amount of the prepayment penalty?
Releasing Payoff Info to Dealers
04/01/2002
Our institution has dealerships that will call us in order to get a payoff on loans individuals have with us. In reference to the GLB privacy provisions, is it okay to release this information to the dealership once verification from them has taken place? They have our member's information because they are trying to purchase a car (SSN, address, account number, driver's license, etc.) It is kinda like the check verification procedures that you have listed under Privacy on your site.
