The legislation further requires the rescue consultant to include in the written agreement a specific notice of the homeowners’ right to cancel, including the procedure for cancelling, and a disclosure that the consumer should contact his or her lender first before signing because the lender may be willing to negotiate a payment plan free of charge.
