(1) The creditor shall furnish the customer, without request, a
written receipt for each payment made in cash, or any other time
the method of payment does not itself provide evidence of
payment.
(2) At any time after consummation of a consumer credit
transaction other than one pursuant to an open-end credit plan,
the creditor, upon written request by the customer, shall furnish to
the customer a written statement of the amounts and specifying
the dates of payments received and charges imposed, together
with the unpaid balance at the time of the statement. With respect to transactions secured by a first lien mortgage, or equivalent security interest, on real property such statement need specify only the dates and amounts of payments received and charges
imposed during the previous 12 months, and the unpaid balance
remaining at the time of the statement. The customer shall be entitled to one such statement free of charge once every 12 months.
Additional statements shall be furnished if the customer pays the
creditor’s reasonable costs of preparing and furnishing the
statement.
(3) With respect to an open-end credit plan, the creditor shall
at any time upon written request by the customer, furnish to the
customer a written statement, which may consist of copies of the
periodic statements furnished to the customer under the plan,
specifying the dates and amounts of purchases or loan credit extended and payments received during the previous 12 months,
and the unpaid balance remaining at the time of the statement.
The customer shall be entitled to one such statement at a charge
not in excess of $1 once every 12 months. Additional statements

shall be furnished if the customer pays the creditor’s reasonable
costs of preparing and furnishing the statement.
(4) Except as provided in s. 708.15, within 45 days after payment by the customer of all sums for which the customer is obligated under a consumer credit transaction other than one pursuant to an open-end credit plan, the creditor shall give or forward
to the customer instruments which acknowledge payment in full,
and release of any security interest when there is no outstanding
secured obligation, and furnish to the customer or the customer’s
designee evidence of the release or assignment to such designee
of any recorded lien on real estate and termination of any filed financing statement which perfected such security interest.
