agreement is made the seller shall advise the buyer in writing, on the
application form or otherwise, or orally, that the finance charge will be
computed on the outstanding balance for each month, which need not be a
calendar month, or other regular period agreed upon, the schedule or rate by
which the finance charge will be computed, and that the buyer may at any time
pay the total unpaid balance. If the information is given orally, the seller
shall, upon approval of the buyers credit, deliver or mail to the buyer and
the buyers address a memorandum setting forth the information.
3. The seller or holder of a retail charge
agreement shall promptly supply the buyer with a statement as of the end of each

sale price and the date of each purchase;
(c) The payments made by the buyer to the seller
and any other credits to the buyer during the period; and
(d) The amount, if any, of any finance charge,
fee, expense or charge for the period.
4. If a change is to be made in the terms
of a retail charge agreement previously disclosed to the buyer, the seller
shall mail or deliver to the buyer a written disclosure of the proposed change
not less than 15 days before the effective date of the change. No notice is
required if the change involves:
(a) Charges for late payment, documentary
evidence or exceeding an agreed limit;
(b) A reduction of any component of a finance or
other charge;
(c) Suspension of future credit or termination of
an account or plan; or
