Section 2253 - Right of rescission
(a) A title loan borrower may rescind a title loan for any reason up to the end of the business day following the day on which proceeds of the loan were disbursed to the borrower.
(b) If a licensee fails to make any disclosure required by § 2252 of this title, a title loan borrower may elect, in lieu of any other available remedy, to rescind the loan at any time up to 1 year from the date scheduled for the final payment on the loan as specified in the original loan agreement, any rollover of the loan, or any workout agreement on the loan, whatever occurs last.
(c) A title loan borrower shall not incur any fee, interest, or other charge by exercising a right of rescission, except any fee or charge incurred by the licensee in the normal course of business in connection with the making of the title loan.
(d) A title loan borrower may rescind a title loan by delivering within the appropriate time specified in this section a notice of rescission to the licensee that issued the loan.
(1) If the rescission is pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the borrower shall at the same time also return to the licensee all loan proceeds that the borrower received.
(2) If the rescission is pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, the borrower shall at the same time also return to the licensee any unpaid balance of the loan proceeds that the borrower received less any fees, interest or other charges that the borrower paid the licensee on the loan. If such fees, interest, or other charges exceed the unpaid loan proceeds, the licensee shall promptly refund that excess to the borrower.
(e) Upon rescission of a title loan, the licensee that issued the loan shall promptly take all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate any security interest in the motor vehicle that is used as security for that loan if the borrower still owns that vehicle.
