Where do I find regulations for a business account we have that is an online marketing business? It promotes a number of services such as identity theft, remotely creates checks and deposits into accounts at the bank.

I am confused by the Truth in Lending rules and FTC Guidance (How to Advertise Consumer Credit) on how to advertise the following product: 10/1 LIBOR ARM. Repayments are "interest only" for 10 years with a fixed rate, then for the remaining 20 years (30-year loan), the rate becomes variable and the loan is amortized for principal and interest payments. At a minimum, our line of business wants to advertise the amount of the monthly payment. Is this a Graduated Payment feature loan, or a Discounted Variable Rate Plan or something else? Any real-life examples are appreciated.
