Disclosure of the cost of borrowing * In all time payment transactions the borrower must be given a written note of the cost of borrowing, both in dollars and cents, and as an annual percentage rate, before credit is granted. The lender must also set down any charges he inâ€" tends to make if the borrower should default on payments.
