(1) If the creditor adds
identifiable insurance charges or premiums for credit insurance to the total
amount of the indebtedness and makes any direct or indirect finance, carrying,
credit or service charge whatever to the debtor in connection with such
insurance charge, the creditor is deemed to have loaned the premium or
insurance charge to the debtor and the premium or insurance charge is deemed
collected for the insurer as soon as it is added to the indebtedness, in which
event, the creditor must remit and the insurer shall collect on a single
premium basis only. A creditor may remit and an insurer may collect premiums
for credit life insurance on a monthly balance basis. The charge for the
premium shall be shown separately from the
balance of the loan and any payment received by the
creditor shall first be applied to pay the credit life insurance premium. Only in the event no payment is made or the
payment made is insufficient to satisfy the premium charge, may the creditor
add the unpaid premium to the loan and remit it to the insurers. If the premium charged by the insurer for
group credit life insurance is on the basis of the outstanding balances of
indebtedness at risk at each premium due date, the amount charged to the debtor
for such insurance shall not exceed the substantial mathematical equivalent of
the premiums to be charged for that insurance by the insurer, as computed at
the time the charge to the debtor is determined. Schedules of such permissible charges shall be provided to the
creditor with instructions on the manner and method such schedules must be used
to effect compliance with the law.
