QUESTION PRESENTED
The Truth in Lending Act provides that
consumers who enter into credit transactions secured
by their principal dwelling shall have the right to
rescind the transaction until three business days
after the delivery of legally mandated “information
and rescission forms” by the creditor. 15 U.S.C.
§ 1635(a). A consumer exercises the statutory right of
rescission “by notifying the creditor, in accordance
with [governing] regulations,” of his or her intent to
rescind. Id. The Act further provides that a
consumer’s “right of rescission shall expire three
years after consummation of the transaction.”
whether or not a creditor has made required
disclosures by that time. Id. § 1635(f).
The question presented is:

Do consumers timely exercise rescission rights
under the Act by notifying creditors of their intent to
rescind within three years of consummation of a
transaction, or must consumers both give notice and
also file a lawsuit seeking rescission within three
years of consummation of a transaction to prevent
statutory rescission rights from expiring?
