A consumer has three days of the cooling-off period to reconsider their decision when they take out one of these loans and if they call off the loan within the stipulated time, they won’t lose money.
With this part of the law, the borrower who changes their minds is protected and also those who felt pressured by the lender have time to reconsider.

The lender should also tell the customer about their federal student loan options, which can be safer.

If they accept the loan – They must receive the Loan Consummation Disclosure, containing a notice about their right to cancel the loan within three days. After which the lender can disburse the funds.
