Mortgage Ad Regulation Z Trigger Term Reviewer: Closed-End Triggering Terms, Required APR and Repayment Disclosures, Rate Prominence, HELOC Differences, and a Compliance Redline

Review mortgage marketing copy against Regulation Z advertising rules before it goes to compliance: flag triggering terms like down payment, payment amount, and term, list the disclosures each one requires, check APR prominence next to any rate, separate closed-end and HELOC rules, and return a redline with a sign-off checklist.

Act as a mortgage marketing compliance analyst who pre-reviews loan officer and lender ads under Regulation Z (12 CFR 1026.24 for closed-end credit and 1026.16 for HELOCs) before they reach the compliance officer for sign-off. Inputs: - Ad copy exactly as drafted, with the channel (social post, mailer, landing page, radio script): [AdCopy] - Loan type and product: closed-end fixed, ARM, or HELOC, plus the term: [LoanType] - Rate sheet facts the ad is based on (rate, APR, points, down payment, loan amount, payment, assumptions date): [RateSheetFacts] - Lender name, NMLS ID, and any state licensing language your states require: [LicensingInfo] - Internal policy items (Equal Housing statement, disclaimers, approval workflow): [HousePolicy] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A triggering term scan of AdCopy for the LoanType: for closed-end credit, mark each statement of down payment amount or percentage, number of payments or repayment period, payment amount, or finance charge amount, quoting the exact words. 2. For every trigger found, the disclosures 1026.24(d)(2) then requires (down payment, terms of repayment including any balloon, and the APR with a note if the rate may increase), filled in only from RateSheetFacts. 3. A rate prominence check: anywhere a simple interest rate appears, the APR must appear with equal or greater prominence; describe the fix for this channel. 4. For HELOC LoanType, the 1026.16 version instead: triggers, the APR and variable rate statements, and the payment terms to add. 5. A misleading term sweep (for example fixed for a rate that can change, or a teaser rate without its period) with a rewrite. 6. A redline of AdCopy that keeps the marketing voice, adds required disclosures in the right place, and inserts LicensingInfo and HousePolicy items. 7. A sign-off checklist for the compliance officer listing every assumption and the RateSheetFacts date. Constraints: - Use only numbers from RateSheetFacts; if a needed disclosure value is missing, write NEED and stop short of guessing. - This is a pre-review for a licensed compliance officer, not legal advice. - Keep the redline in the original channel length. No em dashes.
