Title 81 - BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Chapter 19 - CONSUMER LOAN BROKER ACT
§ 81-19-21 - Contracts to be written; enumeration of charges

A licensee may not enter into an agreement to find and obtain a consumer loan for a borrower unless the agreement is in writing. The contract shall indicate a range acceptable to the borrower of the financing terms, the interest rate, loan charges and fees, and any other charges.

If the loan is to be secured by real property, the contract must enumerate and describe the types of charges which are likely to be made, with a range for each stated, including: discount points, origination fee, appraisals, surveys, title opinions, title insurance and prepaid taxes and insurance premiums. Should the total actual costs at closing exceed the estimate by the greater of ten percent (10%) or Two Hundred Dollars ($ 200.00), the licensee shall obtain a written agreement from the borrower that the borrower has elected to consummate the transaction even though not obligated to do so. However, any loan charges made by a licensee under the Small Loan Regulatory Law (Sections 75-67-101 through 75-67-137) and the Small Loan Privilege Tax Law (Sections 75-67-201 through 75-67-247) shall be enumerated, described and assessed in the manner provided by Section 75-67-121, Mississippi Code of 1972.
