LOAN AGREEMENT AND
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
In this Agreement, the words you and your mean each
and all of those who apply for the loan. Plan means the
loan. We, us and ours means this Credit
Union.
Repayment - You promise to repay all amounts you owe
under the plan plus interest. Payments are due on the last day of
the month unless we set a different date at the time of an
advance. If the addendum has no payment schedule for a
sub-account, your payment will be determined at the time of each
advance. Payments must include any amount past due and any amount
by which you have exceeded any credit limit you have been given
for a sub-account. You may repay all or part of what you owe at
any time without any prepayment penalty. Even if you prepay, you
will still be required to make the regularly scheduled payments
unless we agree in writing to a change in the payment schedule. If
you have a joint share draft account you will be responsible for
paying all overdraft advances obtained by a joint holder of the
share draft account. Payments will be applied in the order the
Credit Union chooses.
Finance Charge - The dollar amount you pay from
money borrowed is called a "finance charge" and begins on the date
of each advance. A finance charge will be computed separately for
each separate balance under the Plan. To compute the finance
charge the unpaid balance for each day since your last payment (or
since an advance if you have not yet made a payment) is multiplied
by the applicable daily periodic rate. The sum of these amounts is
the finance charge owed. The balance used to compute the finance
charge is the unpaid balance each day after payments and credits
to that balance have been subtracted and any additions to the
balance have been made. In addition to interest, we may charge
other finance charges which will be disclosed in the addendum.
Variable Rate - The variable rate is a daily
periodic rate based upon an Index which may increase or decrease
from time to time. The Index is the auction average of short term
U.S. government bills with a 26 week maturity and is published in
the Wall Street Journal.
Annual Percentage Rate - The cost of your credit as
a yearly rate.
Down Payment - Based on application and credit
history.
Security Interest - The Plan is secured by the
shares and deposits in all joint and individual accounts you have
with the Credit Union now and in the future. Shares and deposits
in an Individual Retirement Account and any other account which
would lose special tax treatment under state or federal laws if
given as security are not subject to the security interest you
have given in your shares and deposits. Additional security may be
required depending on the subaccount under which an advance is
requested. For example, a subaccount called "New Car Advances"
means the security will be a new car. A subaccount called "Other
Secured Advances" means you must offer security acceptable to the
Credit Union for the advance. Property given as security for any
advance under the Plan will secure all other amounts you owe under
the Plan or under any other Agreement with us now or in the
future. Property securing other loans with us may also secure the
Plan. However, if you have given your dwelling as security for a
loan with us, that dwelling will not secure an advance made under
the Plan.
Fees and Charges - If you give us a security
interest in certain types of property, we may charge you a filing
fee to perfect our interest in the property. If so, the amount of
the fee will be disclosed to you at the time you obtain an
advance. We may also charge you other fees in connection with the
Plan. Those fees are disclosed on the Addendum and will be added
to your loan balance unless you pay them in cash.
Your Billing Rights - This notice contains important
information about your rights and responsibilities under the Fair
Credit Billing Act.
Notify Us In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Statement:
If you think your statement is wrong, or if you need more
information about a transaction shown on it, write to us at the
address listed on your statement, as soon as possible. We must
hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the first
statement on which the error or problem appeared. You may
telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your rights. In your
letter, please give us the following information:
1. Your name and account number.
2. The dollar amount of the suspected error.
3. Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe
there is an error. If you need more information, please describe
the item you are not sure about.
Your Rights and Your Responsibilities After We Receive Your
Written Notice: We must acknowledge your letter within 30
days, unless we have corrected the error by then. Within 90 days,
we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the
statement was correct.
After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount
that you question or report you as delinquent. We can continue to
bill you for the amount you question, including finance charges,
and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You
do not have to pay any questioned amount while we are
investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of
your statement that are not in question.
If we find that we made a mistake on your statement, you will not
have to pay any finance charges related to any questioned amount.
If we didn't make a mistake, you may have to pay finance charges
and you will have to make up any missed payments on the questioned
amount. In either case, we will send you a statement of the amount
you owe and the date that it is due.
If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report
you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not satisfy
you and you write to us within ten days telling us that you still
refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you have
a question about your statement. And, we must tell you the name of
anyone we reported you to. We must tell anyone we report you to
that the matter has been settled between us when it finally is.
If we don't follow these rules, we can't collect the first $50 of
the questioned amount, even if your statement was correct.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial
institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that
identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we ask
for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that
will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your
driver's license or other identifying documents.
