SF 206 |
This bill modifies provisions applicable to delayed deposit services. The bill limits the annual percentage rate applicable to a delayed deposit services transaction to 36%, as computed pursuant to the federal Truth in Lending Act. The bill requires a licensee holding multiple checks from one maker at any one time to enter into an extended repayment plan agreement if the maker of the multiple checks requests to enter into such agreement prior to the date upon which the checks are to be negotiable. The licensee may not initiate debt collection, civil court proceedings, or arbitration to collect on the unpaid checks during the term of the extended repayment plan agreement. A licensee need only enter into one extended repayment plan agreement with a maker of multiple checks in a 12-month period. A licensee cannot charge a fee, interest charge, or other charge as a result of entering into an extended repayment plan agreement. During the duration of the agreement, the obligations that the maker owes on the unpaid checks are not delinquent and the licensee cannot charge penalties for a delinquent obligation. The bill allows a maker obtaining more than four delayed deposit service loans from one licensee in a two-month period to enter into an extended repayment plan agreement with the licensee if the maker requests to enter into such an agreement prior to the date upon which the last check accepted by the licensee is to be negotiable. The licensee may not initiate debt collection, civil court proceedings, or arbitration to collect on any unpaid checks during the term of the extended repayment plan agreement. A licensee need only enter into one extended repayment plan agreement with a maker in a 12-month period. A licensee cannot charge a fee, interest charge, or other charge as a result of entering into an extended repayment plan agreement. During the duration of the agreement, the obligations that the maker owes on any unpaid checks are not delinquent and the licensee cannot charge penalties for a delinquent obligation. The bill requires the extended repayment plan agreement to be in writing, signed by the maker and the licensee, and contain the schedule for payment of the total unpaid check obligations. The schedule must allow the maker to pay the checks in at least four substantially equal installments. The bill requires the licensee to return any postdated checks that the maker has given to the licensee for the original transactions. The licensee may then either require the maker to provide a new check for the balance on the unpaid checks or provide multiple checks for each scheduled payment under the agreement. The bill states that upon the maker's failure to make a scheduled payment, the licensee may charge a penalty pursuant to Code §533D.9(2), and may initiate debt collection, civil court proceedings, or arbitration to collect on the unpaid checks. A violation of the bill may result in an administrative fine of not more than $5,000 for each violation and the cost of investigation. |

HB 2189 |
The bill amends the Uniform Consumer Credit Code. Under current law, open-end credit finance charges are determined by the agreement of the involved parties. The bill establishes an annual maximum of 36% for open-end credit. The bill also limits monthly maintenance fees and other fees on open-end consumer credit. Currently, closed-end credit finance charges are generally calculated at a maximum annual rate of 36% for the portion of credit under $860 and 21% for a credit over $860. The bill establishes an annual maximum of 36% for closed-end credit. Under current law, a cash advance loan less than $500 cannot be assessed more than 15% per week or per month of the amount of the cash advance, which translates to a higher annual percentage rate. The bill caps that rate at 36% annually, along with other charges described in the bill. The bill replaces the payday loan section by establishing a small loan that would not exceed $2,500 with a minimum term of three calendar months and a maximum term of 24 months. The bill also adds new language for loan disclosure information and provide for more restrictions relating to the new small closed-end loans. The bill also creates provisions regarding when a lender could accept an interest in a vehicle, which would include a prohibition on the lender seeking or obtaining a personal money judgment against the borrower for any amount owed under the loan agreement or for any deficiency resulting after the sale of a motor vehicle. A lender would be allowed to seek a personal money judgment against the borrower for any amounts owed under the loan agreement if the borrower impairs the lender's security interest in certain instances. The bill requires annual reports to be filed with the State Bank commissioner. |
