Under what condition are cancellation fees allowed according to Utah rules?

Cancellation fees are allowed under Utah rules if the fee is reasonable. This means that the amount charged must be justifiable and not excessive in relation to the costs incurred by the lender when processing the cancellation. Reasonableness of the fee can take into account various factors, such as the administrative costs associated with processing the loan application and the time spent by the lender.

In the context of lending, ensuring that fees are reasonable helps protect consumers from being charged excessive amounts that do not reflect the actual costs incurred by the lending institution. The regulation aims to maintain fairness and transparency in lending practices.

The approval by the state, upfront disclosure, and applicability to all loans are important principles in lending practices, but the specific allowance for cancellation fees is contingent upon their reasonableness. This means that even if a fee is disclosed, or approved by the state, it cannot be charged if it is deemed unreasonable.
