agree  Fuad Yahya: That is the intended meaning. Please note, however, that Arabic financial language has recently tended to jettison the words دائن and مدين because they confuse the public. Instead, مقترض and مقرض are preferred for clarity.

  -> That is right Fuad, and it would depend also on the country you are translating for, and hence use words, i.e مقرض او مؤتمن ... الخ
neutral  amana(Ayman B.): That's not what the Law means. Imane's answer is the most correct. The Law protects consumers when they use money that is borrowed from a financial instit..THIS IS A NAME OF A LAW IN THE US. THERE'S ONLY 1 MEANING TO THE LAW.ITSN'T OPEN FOR INTERPRETATION

  -> Sorry Amana, but let the asker decide what is better for his context. You may agree and support imane's answer , I do n't mind, but do not compare answers Amana, all answers are just suggestions after all. Thank you
