Displaying Equal Housing Lender Logo

02/28/2011

I once read something that stated the Equal Housing Lender logo (EHL) should be displayed anywhere a home loan application is received.

08/09/2010

Marketing wants to advertise that we have instant approvals for online applications.

Credit Card Phone Apps & Schumer Box Disclosures

09/08/2008

We have scripted disclosures for telephone applications on credit cards that include the Schumer Box disclosures. Marketing is trying to get us to reduce the talk time on the call. Reg Z says the disclosure requirements do not apply if the call is initiated by the consumer.
