RS 9:3521

§3521. Maximum charges after negotiations A. The obligation arising out of any consumer credit sale, including a revolving charge account, may be evidenced by a written agreement which may provide for a credit service charge not in excess of the maximum loan finance charge which could be charged, contracted for, or received by a supervised financial organization, lender who files notification pursuant to R.S. 9:3564, or licensed lender in a consumer loan transaction where the principal is the same as the amount financed and the term is a corresponding term. B. Such written agreement must be transferred or assigned to a supervised financial organization, lender who files notification pursuant to R.S. 9:3564, or a licensed lender within thirty-five days from the date of making. If such written agreement is not so transferred or assigned within the said time limit, the seller or holder shall: (1) Notify the maker that the written agreement was not transferred or assigned. (2) Credit the obligation with any amounts contracted for in excess of the credit service charge authorized by R.S. 9:3520 and 9:3521. Such computation shall be made as of the date of making and the debtor shall be notified of such credit. (3) Provide the debtor, prior to the first installment due date, with a new payment schedule reflecting the change in terms. (4) Notify the debtor of the address where payments are to be made if such address is different from the address previously given to the debtor. Acts 1990, No. 685, §1; Acts 1999, No. 1315, §1, eff.
