Deciphering the specific requirements for crediting consumer loan payments as required by Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) can be a challenge. Not only do the requirements differ for closed-end loans secured by a dwelling, open-end lines or credit and credit cards, they can also differ depending on whether you have a conforming or non-conforming payment. A conforming payment is one that is received within certain parameters, or requirements, set forth by an institution in the written payment instructions disclosed in the contract or periodic statement. For example, an institution could specify a reasonable cut-off time for a payment to be received, require that payments be accompanied by the account number or a payment stub, specifying a specific address for receiving payments by mail, etc. Anything outside such parameters would be a non-conforming payment.
