The question we decide on this appeal is whether the description of the security interest in a consumer loan agreement complies with the Truth-in-Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq., and Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. § 226 et seq., promulgated under that statute. The District Court held that it did not, and we affirm.
To obtain funds for the purchase of furniture, plaintiffs entered into a written loan agreement with the defendant finance company. Two months later they filed suit alleging that the loan agreement violated the Act and regulation in improperly describing the security interest and in two other respects which we need not consider to decide this case.1 On plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, the District Court determined that defendant had committed all three violations and, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1640(a), awarded the statutory penalty plus attorneys’ fees and costs.
The Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z have recently been summarized by Judge Sprecher in Allen v. Beneficial Finance Co., 531 F.2d 797 (7th Cir. 1976). The Act, it was there noted, was passed by Congress in 1968 as the result of growing congressional concern over consumers’ ignorance of the nature and cost of their credit obligations. See generally Mourning v. Family Publications Service, Inc., 411 U.S. 356, 363-369, 93 S.Ct. 1652, 36 L.Ed.2d 318 (1973). The specific purpose of the Act was “to assure a meaningful disclosure of credit terms so that the consumer will be able to compare more readily the various terms available to him and avoid the uninformed use of credit.” 15 U.S.C. § 1601. To assist in the achievement of that goal, the Federal Reserve Board is empowered to construe the Act’s broad provisions and to prescribe regulations. 15 U.S.C. § 1604. Regulation Z was prescribed by the Board pursuant to that authority. The Act further provides that upon failure of the creditor to disclose information required to be disclosed by the statute or regulations, he becomes liable to the debtor for twice the amount of the finance charge, plus costs and attorneys’ fees. 15 U.S.C. § 1640(a).
The provision of Regulation Z relating to disclosure of security interests, § 226.-8(b)(5), provides in pertinent part as follows:
“(b) Disclosures in sale and nonsale credit. In any transaction subject to this section, the following items, as applicable, shall be disclosed:
“(5) A description or identification of the type of any security interest held or to be retained or acquired by the creditor in connection with the extension of credit, and a clear identification of the property to which the security interest relates . . If after-acquired property will be subject to the security interest, or if other or future indebtedness is or may be secured by *817any such property, this fact shall be clearly set forth in conjunction with the description or identification of the type of security interest held, retained or acquired.”
The portion of the loan agreement in the case at bar containing the challenged security description is as follows:
*818Plaintiffs’ attack focuses on the words,
“All of the consumer goods of every kind now owned or hereafter acquired by Debtors in replacement of said consumer goods and now owned or hereafter located in or about the place of residence of the Debtors’ at the address shown above.”2
Plaintiffs contend that the security interest stated is so broad that it is invalid under section 9-204(2) of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), Ill.Rev.Stat.1973, ch. 26, § 1-101 et seq. That section provides, with an exception not relevant here, as follows:
“No security interest attaches under an after-acquired property clause to consumer goods . . . when given as additional security unless the debtor acquires rights in them within 10 days after the secured party gives value.”
Defendant argues, however, that since “proceeds” of collateral are automatically covered by an existing security agreement under UCC § 9-306(3)(a),3 any goods “acquired by Debtors in replacement” of collateral would likewise be covered; and that the replacement goods would not, therefore, constitute “additional security” to which the 10-day limitation is applicable. The difficulty with this argument is that “replacement” is not synonymous with “proceeds” as defined by UCC § 9-306(1).4 Replacement goods may be financed from sources other than proceeds. Yet all replacements would be covered by defendant’s security arrangement, regardless of whether they were purchased within the 10-day limitation.
We need not stop here, however, for replacement items are not the only kind of consumer goods covered by the challenged description. Because of the repetition of the words “now owned or hereafter,” the description covers “[a]ll of the consumer goods of every kind . . now owned or hereafter located in or about the place of residence of the Debtors,” thereby clearly failing to allow for the 10-day limitation of UCC § 9-204(2). A reading of the form would lead the debtors to conclude erroneously that the security interest extends to all goods located in or about their residence at any time the loan agreement is in effect, even though Illinois law precludes such a security interest covering consumer goods acquired more than 10 days after the secured party gives value.
Not only does the clause just quoted ignore the 10-day limitation, but it purports to secure for the creditor all of the consumer property in or about the plaintiffs’ residence, regardless of who owns the goods. Even apart from the question of unconscionability,5 the agreement of course could *819not create a security interest in goods in which the borrowers had no interest. See UCC § 9-203(l)(c). An unsophisticated reader might nonetheless conclude that goods belonging to a relative or lodger living in the debtors’ house are encumbered by the security interest.
Since the description of the type of security interest held and the identification of the secured property are misleading, and the fact of after-acquired property interests is not “clearly set forth” with anything approaching accuracy, the description of the security interest violates § 226.8(b)(5) of Regulation Z6 and the Truth-in-Lending Act. This conclusion is supported by a public position letter of the chief of the Federal Reserve Board’s Truth-in-Lending Section,7 as well as by decisions of other courts which have considered the question in similar contexts. Woods v. Beneficial Finance Co., 395 F.Supp. 9, 14 (D.Or.1975); Evans v. Household Finance Corp., CCH Consumer Credit Guide 199,007 (S.D.Ia.1973). See also the earlier decision of Judge Morgan in Johnson v. Associates Finance, Inc., 369 F.Supp. 1121, 1122-1123 (S.D.Ill.1974).
We need not reach the other issues which the District Court decided adversely to defendant as alternative grounds of decision, since the award of damages and attorneys’ fees8 must be sustained if defendant’s disclosure violates the regulation and statute in any respect and only one recovery is permissible even if there are multiple violations.9 We express no opinion as to the correctness of the District Court’s decision on those other issues.
Affirmed.
