(1) All credit insurance shall be evidenced by an individual policy or, in the case of group insurance, by a certificate of insurance, which individual policy or group certificate of insurance shall be delivered to the debtor. (2) Each individual policy or group certificate of credit insurance shall, in addition to other requirements of law, set forth: (a) The name and home office address of the insurer; (b) The name of the debtor or, in the case of a certificate under a group policy, the identity by name, or otherwise, of the debtor; (c) The premium or amount of payment, if any, by the debtor separately for credit insurance; (d) A description of the coverage, including the amount and term thereof, and any exceptions, limitations, and restrictions, and it shall state that the benefits shall be paid to the creditor to reduce or extinguish the unpaid indebtedness and, wherever the amount of insurance exceeds the unpaid indebtedness, that any such excess shall be payable to a beneficiary, other than the creditor, named by the debtor or to his estate. (3) Said individual policy or group certificate of insurance shall be delivered to the insured debtor at the time the indebtedness is incurred, except as provided in subsection (4) of this section. (4) (a) If said individual policy or group certificate of insurance is not delivered to the debtor at the time the indebtedness is incurred, a copy of the application for such policy or a notice of proposed insurance, signed by the debtor, shall be delivered to the debtor at the time such indebtedness is incurred, setting forth: (I) The name and home office address of the insurer; (II) The name of the debtor; (III) The premium or amount of payment by the debtor, if any, separately for credit insurance; (IV) The amount, term, and a brief description of the coverage provided. (b) The copy of the application for, or notice of, proposed insurance shall also refer exclusively to insurance coverage and shall be separate and apart from the loan, sale, or other credit statement of account, instrument, or agreement unless the information required by this subsection (4) is prominently set forth therein. Upon acceptance of the insurance by the insurer and within thirty days of the date upon which the indebtedness is incurred, the insurer shall cause the individual policy or group certificate of insurance to be delivered to the debtor. Said application or notice of proposed insurance shall state that upon acceptance by the insurer, the insurance shall become effective as provided in section 10-10-107. (c) If the named insurer does not accept the risk, the debtor shall receive a policy or certificate of insurance setting forth the name and home office address of the substituted insurer and the amount of the premium to be charged, and, if the amount of premium is less than that set forth in the notice of proposed insurance, an appropriate refund shall be made.
