Re: fEDERAL TRUTH IN LENDING
See my previous answer to the question, asked in a little different wording. I would add that another possibility is the terms of the loan might have changed, necessitating issuance of a NEW truth in lending form, or perhaps a new form was necessary to correct a mistake. These changes would presumably be innocent and proper if the borrower hasn't already acted irrevocably in reliance on the former version of the disclosures.
