Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  Regardless of any other law governing the imposition of
interest, fees, loan finance charges or the extension of credit, a
deferred deposit lender may charge a finance charge for each
deferred deposit loan that does not exceed Fifteen Dollars ($15.00)
for every One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) advanced up to the first
Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) of the amount advanced; for the
advance amounts in excess of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00), the
lender may charge an additional finance charge of Ten Dollars
($10.00) for every One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) advanced in excess
of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00).  The credit terms of the
deferred deposit loan shall be disclosed in accordance with
Regulation Z, including the terms “finance charge” and “annual
percentage rate”.  The finance charge under this subsection shall be
deemed fully earned as of the date of the transaction.  Except for a
fee for a dishonored instrument and the actual database verification
fee pursuant to subparagraph b of paragraph 2 of subsection B of
Section 3109 of this title, the lender may charge only those charges
expressly authorized in this subsection in connection with a
deferred deposit loan.
B.  If an instrument held by a lender as a result of a deferred
deposit loan is returned to the lender from a payor financial
institution due to insufficient funds, a closed account or a stop
payment order, the lender shall have the right to exercise all civil
means authorized by law to collect the amount of the instrument.  In
addition, the lender may contract for and collect a dishonored
instrument charge, not to exceed Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00);
however, a dishonored instrument charge shall not be allowed if the
instrument is dishonored by a financial institution, or the debtor
places a stop payment order, due to forgery or theft of the
instrument.
