Be aware of the legal situation when you sign a loan contract so that your rights and interests are protected. We at Najla Law Firm specialize in consulting clients regarding the technical details of loan contracts so that they remain within the purview of US laws and secure their economic future.
A loan agreement is an agreement between the borrower and lender whereby the loan terms are stated, i.e., amount of the loan, interest, repayment period, and security. The United States also has federal and state laws that govern the agreements based on the type of loan and location.
One of the most important laws to be aware of is the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), which is a federal statute that requires lenders to break down all the conditions of loans in unambiguous, plain language. These include APR, paid amount, and charges. TILA violations can impose heavy fines on lenders and grant remedies at law to borrowers.
The other key area of interest is the usury laws, which place a cap on the interest rate at which a lender can lend. They are the state laws and going beyond them may make the loan agreement non-enforceable. We here at Najla Law Firm take care to stay within such laws with all the terms of the loan to protect both lenders and borrowers from any misconceptions.
Security interest and collateral are also very crucial loan agreement factors. Collateral from the borrower to pay through the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) securing interest is an option for lenders. This can, however, render documentation or filing unsuitable and invalidate lender’s rights. Our personnel review all documents meticulously in order to ensure compliance with the UCC standards.
Default and enforcement clauses have to be written properly. In case of default by the borrower, lenders have to do some things under law to recover their money. Najla Law Firm assists clients in writing enforceable agreements and going further in court to prevent risks.
In summary, loan agreements are complex legal contracts that require in-depth examination. As a borrower or lender, hiring the services of an extremely qualified law firm such as Najla Law Firm ensures your interests and integrity of your agreement with all the applicable laws.
