Here 'is an example of a limitation of the statute of Connecticut''sNon-Depot First Mortgage Lenders and Brokers Act governs well that the display of mortgage loan:
Sec. 36a-497 (Formerly Sec. 36-440L). View
No person licensed pursuant to § 36a-489 are:
(1) advertising or lead that may be advertised in this state, plans a first mortgage in which such person to act only as a first mortgage broker if the information is the following statement loud and clear expression only includes broker,NOT a lender or

For example, the Connecticut law contains the following rules:
1. When acting as a broker, yourAd must state "BROKER ONLY NOT creditor"
2. Can''t you use to check a "simulated" in your mail piece to Connecticut borrowers.
3. When you do a comparison of loan payments between two loan scenarios, you also need the state for the two examples: 1) interest rate, loan amount required, total funding costs, the total number of payments (loan term), and the monthly payment to pay off the entire loan amount.
4. If you tell the consumer that he or she is "Verified as eligible""Permitted", "Preapproved" or "prequalified" – then you must also specify (in the same area of the mailer or similar size) that the necessary conditions for the loan, such as income verification to qualify for credit and property appraisal. Note that some states (Virginia to allow, for example) do not, you will write "Preapproved" in the letter, if you already have a full review of the acquisition loan made to the recipient 'request.
5. Can''t you make your ad look as it comesby the government.
