Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Truth in lending act
We bought a house in florida in 2005. Our loan is a world savings interest only loan. Outr til says our payments will adjust the first 2 6 month periods then fix for 48 months. They have raised our payment every 6 months and now that payment is more than the highest amount disclosed on the til. How does the tila protect us and do they have to stick to the payments on the til? If not what is the prupose of the til. We have spent hundreds extra per month?

The Truth In Lending advises you of the original interest rate. It does not cover any possible increases. The purpose is to advise and disclose to you what the real interest rate on the inception of your loan.
