Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) Relation to other subchapters in this chapter. The requirements and limitations of this subchapter are in addition to and not in lieu of those contained in other subchapters of this chapter.

(b) Form of disclosures.The creditor shall make the disclosures required by this subchapter clearly and conspicuously in writing, in a form that the consumer may keep. The disclosures required by this subchapter may be provided to the consumer in electronic form, subject to compliance with the consumer consent and other applicable provisions of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act) (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.).

(c) Timing of disclosure.

(1) Disclosures for certain closed-end home mortgages. The creditor shall furnish the disclosures required by 160:45-9-2 at least three business days prior to consummation of a mortgage transaction covered by 160:45-9-2.
(A) Change in terms. After complying with paragraph (c)(1) of this section and prior to consummation, if the creditor changes any term that makes the disclosures inaccurate, new disclosures shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.

(B) Telephone disclosures. A creditor may provide new disclosures by telephone if the consumer initiates the change and if, at consummation:
(i) The creditor provides new written disclosures; and

(ii) The consumer and creditor sign a statement that the new disclosures were provided by telephone at least three days prior to consummation.

(C) Consumer's waiver of waiting period before consummation. The consumer may, after receiving the disclosures required by paragraph (c)(1) of this section, modify or waive the three-day waiting period between delivery of those disclosures and consummation if the consumer determines that the extension of credit is needed to meet a bona fide personal financial emergency. To modify or waive the right, the consumer shall give the creditor a dated written statement that describes the emergency, specifically modifies or waives the waiting period, and bears the signature of all the consumers entitled to the waiting period. Printed forms for this purpose are prohibited.

(2) Disclosures for reverse mortgages. The creditor shall furnish the disclosures required by 160:45-9-3 at least three business days prior to:
(A) Consummation of a closed-end credit transaction; or

(B) The first transaction under an open-end credit plan.

(d) Basis of disclosures and use of estimates.

(1) Legal obligation. Disclosures shall reflect the terms of the legal obligation between the parties.

(2) Estimates. If any information necessary for an accurate disclosure is unknown to the creditor, the creditor shall make the disclosure based on the best information reasonably available at the time the disclosure is provided, and shall state clearly that the disclosure is an estimate.

(3) Per-diem interest. For a transaction in which a portion of the interest is determined on a per-diem basis and collected at consummation, any disclosure affected by the per-diem interest shall be considered accurate if the disclosure is based on the information known to the creditor at the time that the disclosure documents are prepared.

(e) Multiple creditors; multiple consumers. If a transaction involves more than one creditor, only one set of disclosures shall be given and the creditors shall agree among themselves which creditor must comply with the requirements that this chapter imposes on any or all of them. If there is more than one consumer, the disclosures may be made to any consumer who is primarily liable on the obligation. If the transaction is rescindable under 160:45-3-13 or 160:45-5-7, however, the disclosures shall be made to each consumer who has the right to rescind.

(f) Effect of subsequent events. If a disclosure becomes inaccurate because of an event that occurs after the creditor delivers the required disclosures, the inaccuracy is not a violation of this chapter, although new disclosures may be required for mortgages covered by 160:45-9-2 under paragraph (c) of this section, 160:45-3-7(c), 160:45-5-3, or 160:45-5-4.

(g) Accuracy of annual percentage rate. For purposes of 160:45-9-2, the annual percentage rate shall be considered accurate and may be used in determining whether a transaction is covered by 160:45-9-2, if it is accurate according to the requirements and within the tolerances under 160:45-5-6. The finance-charge tolerances for rescission under 160:45-5-7(g) or (h) shall not apply for this purpose.

1This emergency action was not submitted by the agency in publishable format following approval of the emergency action by the Governor on 9-3-96 and, therefore, has never been published in The Oklahoma Register.

2This emergency action expired without being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action enacting a new section, the section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 7-15-97 (after the 7-14-97 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 160:45-9-1 was no longer effective, and remained as such until added by permanent action on 5-25-00.
