Legal Answers
206 Questions Answered
- Q. Does Regulation Z's Ability-To-Repay Rule to Certain Situations Involving Successors-in-Interest apply to my sister?
- A: Once the lender verifies that the person is a bona fide successor in interest there is not supposed to be any inquiry into the successor in interest's finances.
The CFPB issued an interpretation in 2014 stating:
the creditor's written acknowledgement of the successor as obligor is not subject to the Bureau's Ability-to-Repay Rule (ATR Rule), § 1026.43, because such a transaction does not constitute an assumption as defined by Regulation Z § 1026.20(b)
- Q. I am a subcontractor and owner wrote a check that said final and if I cash such check I cannot file a lien. However
- A: Ohio law over the years has gone back and forth on the effect of cashing a check marked "paid in full". In 1996, R.C. 1303.40 established that cashing a check marked paid in full will extinguish the debt. Even though you have a pending lawsuit, you should not cash the check.
