OTHER CHARGES. We may charge your account for the following items. These items will be charged as transactions under your regular subaccount unless otherwise set forth below:
| Late Payment Fee. If we do not receive at least the Total Minimum Payment amount by the Payment Due Date, a late payment fee may be charged and may continue to be charged each month until all payments on the account are current. The amount of the late payment fee is as follows: $20.00 on New Balances up to $250.00, $29.00 on New Balances of $250.01 up to $500.00, and $39.00 on New Balances of $500.01 and over. Returned Payment Fee. A returned payment fee of $39.00 may be charged when a check or similar instrument is not honored, when it cannot be processed, or when an electronic debit is returned unpaid. This includes checks that you have authorized us to write on your checking account. This fee may be charged if a payment check or similar instrument is not honored the first time it is presented for payment, even if it is honored when subsequently presented. Over Limit Fee. An over limit fee of $35.00 may be charged in each billing cycle in which the Outstanding Account Balance exceeds your Credit Limit, or the balance of your Cash Advance subaccount exceeds your Cash Advance Limit, or the sum of the balances of your regular subaccount and special subaccounts exceeds the Purchase Limit, even if this occurs as a result of fees or finance charges that are added to the account. We may, but are not required to, authorize transactions that will cause the Outstanding Account Balance to exceed the Credit Limit (or, if applicable the Purchase Limit or Cash Advance Limit). Only one over limit fee will be assessed per billing cycle. If you exceed your Credit Limit (or, if applicable the Purchase Limit or Cash Advance Limit) in a billing cycle, the over limit fee will be charged to either your Cash Advance subaccount or regular subaccount. Convenience Payment Fee. If you make a payment to us by authorizing us (orally or in writing) to write a check or process a payment through the use of Automated Clearing House procedures on an account you designate for the payment, a convenience payment fee of $10 will be charged. Attorneys Fees and Court Costs. If you default and we refer your account for collection to an attorney who is not our salaried employee, you agree to pay reasonable attorney's fees and actual court costs to the extent permitted by applicable law. |
PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS. Payments must be accompanied by the Payment Stub. You will make payments at the address indicated on the Payment Stub ("Remittance Address"). Payments that are received in our post office box at the Remittance Address on or before 3:00 p.m. on any business day will be credited as of the date of receipt. Payments received in our post office box at the Remittance Address after 3:00 p.m. or on non-business days may be credited as of the next business day if allowed by applicable law. Saturdays, Sundays and Federal Holidays are considered non-business days. You may pay your Outstanding Account Balance in full or more than the Total Minimum Payment at any time. Payment of more than the Total Minimum Payment but less than the Outstanding Account Balance will not relieve you of the obligation to make the Total Minimum Payment in any future billing cycle. Payments received without the Payment Stub or at an address other than the Remittance Address may be subject to a delay in crediting.
APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS AND CREDITS. Your monthly payment and/or any credits to your account will be applied in a manner determined by us at our discretion. This manner may change from time to time. Our payment and credit allocation method may result in balances with lower APRs being paid off before balances with higher APRs. This means that payments and/or credits may be applied to introductory or promotional rate balances/subaccounts with lower APRs before being applied to other balances at higher APRs. We may, at our discretion, withhold a portion of your available credit limit up to the amount of any payments and/or credits tendered to assure that the payment instrument is honored.
SECURITY INTEREST. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby grant to us and we are retaining a purchase money security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in the merchandise purchased on your account until such merchandise is paid for in full. You agree to assist us in executing any documents necessary to perfect our security interest. If you do not make the Total Minimum Payment on your account by the Payment Due Date, we may repossess any merchandise that has not been paid for in full.
REGULAR SUBACCOUNT
These terms apply to your regular subaccount:
REGULAR SUBACCOUNT MINIMUM PAYMENT. The new balance shown for the regular subaccount on a statement is the unpaid balance of the regular subaccount at the end of the billing cycle. The minimum payment for the regular subaccount is 1/30th of the highest new balance of the regular subaccount, but at least $10.00. The minimum payment will be rounded to the nearest dollar. The minimum payment will change only if subsequent activity increases the new balance to an amount requiring a higher minimum payment.
WHEN FINANCE CHARGE IS IMPOSED. Finance charges will accrue from the transaction date until the date we receive payment in full of the total balance for the regular subaccount. Finance charges are not imposed on the purchases shown on your current billing statement if you paid the new balance of your regular subaccount shown on the previous statement in full by the Payment Due Date (or if the new balance at the end of the previous billing cycle was zero). In addition, if you pay in full the new balance of your regular subaccount from your immediately preceding billing statement by the Payment Due Date then you will not be charged any finance charges related to that new balance of the regular subaccount from the previous billing statement date to the date payment is received. For any transaction that occurred in a prior billing cycle, but which was not posted until the current billing cycle, we treat the beginning of the current billing cycle as the transaction date. The amount of any unpaid other charges will be included in the calculation of the average daily balance starting on the first day of the billing cycle following the cycle in which the charge posts to your account.
STANDARD PERIODIC RATE. The daily standard periodic rate used to figure the finance charge for the regular subaccount will be a variable rate, subject to quarterly changes, and based on the prime rate. The minimum daily standard periodic rate that can apply is 0.06547% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 23.90%). There is no maximum daily standard periodic rate that can apply. The prime rate we use is the highest prime rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month preceding the month of the rate change date. If the prime rate is no longer published or is otherwise unavailable, we may select a comparable rate. The daily standard periodic rate will increase if the prime rate increases and decrease if the prime rate decreases until it reaches the minimum daily standard periodic rate. An increase in the daily standard periodic rate may increase the total amount of finance charges you pay on your regular subaccount. An increase in the daily standard periodic rate may increase the amount of the minimum monthly payment of the regular subaccount. The rate change date for each quarter is the first day of the first billing cycle beginning on or after January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The daily standard periodic rate for a billing cycle is figured by adding 19.90 percentage points to the prime rate for that billing cycle and dividing the sum by 365. As of January 1, 2009 the daily standard periodic rate was 0.06547% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 23.90%)..
DEFAULT PERIODIC RATE. If at any time you fail to pay the Total Minimum Payment for your account when due for two consecutive billing cycles, your regular subaccount may be subject to the daily default periodic rate. If this condition occurs, the daily default periodic rate may be applied to all transactions and balances, including any special subaccount balances that have been or are transferred into your regular subaccount. The daily default periodic rate will be applied effective on the first day of the billing cycle after which the Total Minimum Payment was not received when due for two consecutive billing cycles. The daily default periodic rate used to figure the finance charge for the regular subaccount will be a variable rate, subject to quarterly changes, and based on the prime rate. The minimum daily default periodic rate that can apply is 0.07643% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 27.90%). There is no maximum daily default periodic rate that can apply. The prime rate we use is the highest prime rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month preceding the month of the rate change date. If the prime rate is no longer published or is otherwise unavailable, we may select a comparable rate. The daily default periodic rate will increase if the prime rate increases and decrease if the prime rate decreases until it reaches the minimum daily default periodic rate. An increase in the daily default periodic rate may increase the total amount of finance charges you pay on your regular subaccount. An increase in the daily default periodic rate may increase the amount of the minimum monthly payment of the regular subaccount. The rate change date for each quarter is the first day of the first billing cycle beginning on or after January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The daily default periodic rate for a billing cycle is figured by adding 23.90 percentage points to the prime rate for that billing cycle and dividing the sum by 365. As of January 1, 2009, the daily default periodic rate was 0.07643% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 27.90%). If your regular subaccount is subject to the daily default periodic rate, you will qualify for reinstatement of the daily standard periodic rate if you pay each of the Total Minimum Payments due on your billing statements by their respective Payment Due Dates for six consecutive billing cycles. If you satisfy this condition, the daily standard periodic rate for the regular subaccount (as applicable) will then apply to new transactions billed to your regular subaccount and to any existing balances on your regular subaccount that had been under the daily default periodic rate, effective on the first day of the billing cycle in which the Total Minimum Payment is received by the Payment Due Date for the sixth consecutive billing cycle. Special terms will not be reinstated on balances that have been transferred from a special subaccount to the regular subaccount due to a default. Your regular subaccount may be subject to the daily default periodic rate even if your account is closed.
FINANCE CHARGE. The total finance charge for your regular subaccount for a billing cycle will be the amount obtained by applying the applicable daily periodic rate for the current billing cycle to the average daily balance of purchases and multiplying the product by the number of days in the current billing cycle.
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE OF PURCHASES. We calculate the daily balances for purchases by starting with the beginning balance of purchases on the first day of the billing cycle. For each day in the billing cycle, we add the amount of all new purchases made, plus any applicable fees or charges, and also add a finance charge amount equal to the previous day's purchases balance multiplied by the daily periodic rate applicable to purchases, we subtract the amount of any payments or credits applied to the purchases balance. If you have paid in full the new balance from your immediately preceding billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that statement, or if that new balance was zero, then you will not be charged any finance charges related to purchases on your current billing statement. This gives us the daily balance of purchases. Any daily balance of purchases that is a credit balance will be treated as zero. Then, to calculate your average daily balance each month, we calculate the daily balance of purchases for each day in the billing cycle, add the daily balances together, and divide that total amount by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance." You understand and acknowledge that this method of calculating the finance charge results in daily compounding of interest.
SPECIAL TERMS. We may from time to time allow you to make purchases at special terms. This part of your agreement explains how these special terms apply. If a sales slip or its equivalent indicates that special terms apply, then special terms apply for that purchase. You accept the special terms by making the purchase.
SUBACCOUNT ESTABLISHED. A purchase subject to special terms establishes a subaccount or subaccounts for the purchases listed on the sales slip. A special subaccount is part of your account, but the finance charge and minimum payment for a special subaccount are handled separately from your regular subaccount, your Cash Advance subaccount and from other special subaccounts. Special terms shown on a sales slip apply only to purchases listed on the sales slip. Items that are purchased under the same terms and that have special terms that end when the balance of the special subaccount is paid in full or that have special terms ending in the same billing cycle may be included in the same special subaccount, even if they were purchased separately.
LENGTH OF SPECIAL TERMS. The special terms for a purchase are in effect for the number of monthly billing cycles indicated on the sales slip or until the date indicated on the sales slip or monthly statement. The length of time special terms are in effect is subject to our rights under the paragraph headed "Transfer to Regular Subaccount." If a sales slip does not indicate how long the special terms are in effect, then they are in effect until the special subaccount is paid, subject to our rights under the paragraph headed "Transfer to Regular Subaccount."
TRANSFER TO REGULAR SUBACCOUNT. The unpaid balance of a special subaccount (and the Accumulated Finance Charge, if applicable) will be transferred to your regular subaccount at the end of the special terms but before the minimum payment is figured. We may, at our option, transfer the unpaid balance (and the Accumulated Finance Charge, if applicable) of a special subaccount to your regular subaccount any time your account is in default status as a result of your failure to pay the Total Minimum Payment for your account when due. When the unpaid balance of a special subaccount is transferred to your regular subaccount, the special terms end and will not be reinstated, and the unpaid balance (and Accumulated Finance Charge, if applicable) will be subject to all the terms of your regular subaccount, without modification.
SPECIAL SUBACCOUNTS INTEREST TERMS. A sales slip will indicate that one or more of the following interest terms applies.
| NO INTEREST. If a sales slip says there is no interest, it means that there is no finance charge on the special subaccount containing the items sold on that sales slip until the no interest special terms end. You may avoid finance charges on a no interest special subaccount by paying the balance of that special subaccount in full before the no interest special terms end. NO INTEREST OPTION (SAME AS CASH). If a sales slip says there is a no interest option (same as cash), it means we figure the finance charge (using a method that results in daily compounding of interest) on that special subaccount containing the items sold on that sales slip, but we do not add the finance charge to the balance you must pay to pay the special subaccount in full. Instead, the finance charge is added to the total of the finance charges for the special subaccount for prior months. This amount is called the Accumulated Finance Charge. If the special subaccount is not paid in full before the no interest option (same as cash) special terms end or if your account is in default as a result of your failure to pay the Total Minimum Payment for your account when due, the balance of that subaccount and the Accumulated Finance Charge will be transferred to your regular subaccount. The daily periodic rate used in figuring the finance charge for the special subaccount and the corresponding annual percentage rate are the same as those used for your regular subaccount. We figure the finance charge on a no interest option (same as cash) special subaccount by applying the daily periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of the special subaccount and multiplying the product by the number of days in the current billing cycle. The rate may vary along with the rate for your regular subaccount. We calculate the daily balances for purchases in the special subaccount by starting with the beginning balance of purchases on the first day of the billing cycle. For each day in the billing cycle, we add the amount of all purchases made, plus any applicable fees or charges, and also add a finance charge amount equal to the previous day's purchase balance multiplied by the daily periodic rate applicable to purchases, we subtract the amount of any payments or credits applied to the purchase balance. This gives us the daily balance of purchases. Any daily balance of purchases that is a credit balance will be treated as zero. Then, to calculate your average daily balance each month, we calculate the daily balance of purchases for each day in the billing cycle, add the daily balances together, and divide that total amount by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance." The finance charge on a purchase in a no interest option (same as cash) special subaccount begins on the date the transaction is posted to your account. You may avoid finance charges on a purchase in a no interest option (same as cash) special subaccount by paying that special subaccount in full before the special terms end. You understand and acknowledge that this method of calculating the finance charge results in daily compounding of interest. SPECIAL RATE. If a sales slip shows a special rate, it means that the annual percentage rate shown on that sales slip (and the corresponding daily periodic rate equal to the annual percentage rate divided by 365) will be used to figure the finance charge for that special subaccount instead of the daily periodic rate and the annual percentage rate used for your regular subaccount. The balance on which the finance charge is computed will be figured using the same method used for your regular subaccount. Finance charges will accrue from the transaction date until the date we receive payment in full of the total balance for the special subaccount. Finance charges are not imposed on the purchases shown on your current billing statement if you paid thenew balance of your special subaccount shown on the previous statement in full by the Payment Due Date (or if the new balance at the end of the previous billing cycle was zero). In addition, if you pay in full the new balance of your special subaccount from your immediately preceding billing statement by the Payment Due Date then you will not be charged any finance charges related to that new balance of the special subaccount from the previous billing statement date to the date payment is received. For any transaction that occurred in a prior billing cycle, but which was not posted until the current billing cycle, we treat the beginning of the current billing cycle as the transaction date. The amount of any unpaid other charges will be included in the calculation of the average daily balance starting on the first day of the billing cycle following the cycle in which the charge posts to your account. REGULAR RATE. If a sales slip says the rate is the regular rate, it means that the daily periodic rate used in figuring the finance charge for the special subaccount and corresponding annual percentage rate are the same as those used for your regular subaccount, which, if applicable may vary along with the rates for your regular subaccount. The balance on which the finance charge is computed will be figured using the same method used for your regular subaccount. Finance charges will accrue from the transaction date until the date we receive payment in full of the total balance for the special subaccount. Finance charges are not imposed on the purchases shown on your current billing statement if you paid the new balance of your special subaccount shown on the previous statement in full by the Payment Due Date (or if the new balance at the end of the previous billing cycle was zero). In addition, if you pay in full the new balance of your special subaccount from your immediately preceding billing statement by the Payment Due Date then you will not be charged any finance charges related to that new balance of the regular rate special subaccount from the previous billing statement date to the date payment is received. For any transaction that occurred in a prior billing cycle, but which was not posted until the current billing cycle, we treat the beginning of the current billing cycle as the transaction date. The amount of any unpaid other charges will be included in the calculation of the average daily balance starting on the first day of the billing cycle following the cycle in which the charge posts to your account. |
| SPECIAL SUBACCOUNTS PAYMENT TERMS. A sales slip will indicate that one or more of the following payment terms applies. NO PAYMENT. If a sales slip says there are no payments, it means there are no monthly payments required for a special subaccount containing an item on that sales slip for the length of time indicated on that sales slip. Monthly payments will be due on the special subaccount when the no payment period ends and a consecutive payment term begins which requires monthly payments, or the unpaid balance of the no payment special subaccount transfers to the regular subaccount, or the unpaid balance of the no payment special subaccount transfers to another special subaccount which requires monthly payments. PAYMENT IN FULL/'EQUAL PAYMENTS'. If a sales slip says that payment in full or 'equal payments' is required, it means the minimum monthly payment for a special subaccount containing an item listed on that sales slip is the amount required to pay that special subaccount in full, in fixed monthly payments during the length of time indicated on the sales slip. The minimum monthly payment required during the payment in full or 'equal payments' period will be in an amount required to pay the unpaid balance of the special subaccount at the beginning of the first full billing cycle of the payment in full or 'equal payments' period, in full, in fixed monthly payments, rounded to the next higher whole cent. Because of rounding, the final fixed monthly payment could be less than the other fixed payments. If you pay each minimum monthly payment as required for the payment in full or 'equal payments' special subaccount, that special subaccount will be paid in full at the end of the special terms period. REGULAR PAYMENTS. If a sales slip says that regular payments are required, it means that the minimum monthly payment for the special subaccount containing an item on that sales slip will be figured the same way as your regular subaccount for the length of time indicated on that sales slip. CUSTOM PAYMENTS. If a sales slip says that the payment terms are custom payments and gives a fraction, or a percent, it means that the minimum payment for the special subaccount is that fraction, or percent, of the highest new balance of the special subaccount, rounded to the nearest dollar. For example, if the sales slip says that the payment terms are "Custom 1/40th", it means that the minimum payment for the special subaccount will be 1/40th of the highest new balance of the special subaccount rounded to the nearest dollar. If the sales slip says that the payment terms are custom payment terms and gives a dollar amount and a time period, it means the minimum payment for the special subaccount will be the dollar amount given for the length of time indicated on the sales slip. For example, if the sales slip says that the payment terms are "6 Mo/Custom $25", it means that for 6 monthly billing cycles the minimum payment for the special subaccount will be $25. |
CASH ADVANCE SUBACCOUNT MINIMUM PAYMENT. The new balance shown for the Cash Advance subaccount on a statement is the unpaid balance of the Cash Advance subaccount at the end of the billing cycle. The minimum payment for the Cash Advance subaccount is 1/30th of the highest new balance of the Cash Advance subaccount, but at least $10.00. The minimum payment will be rounded to the nearest dollar. The minimum payment will change only if subsequent Cash Advance subaccount activity increases the new balance to an amount requiring a higher minimum payment.
WHEN FINANCE CHARGE IS IMPOSED – CASH ADVANCES. A finance charge in the form of a cash advance fee will be imposed on each cash advance posted to the Cash Advance subaccount. In addition, a finance charge figured by applying the daily periodic rate will be imposed on cash advances from the day they are posted to the Cash Advance subaccount until the day they are paid in full. There is no time period within which to pay to avoid these finance charges.
STANDARD PERIODIC RATE. The daily standard periodic rate used to figure the finance charge for the Cash Advance subaccount will be a variable rate, subject to quarterly changes, and based on the prime rate. The minimum daily standard periodic rate that can apply is 0.06547% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 23.90%). There is no maximum daily standard periodic rate that can apply. The prime rate we use is the highest prime rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month preceding the month of the rate change date. If the prime rate is no longer published or is otherwise unavailable, we may select a comparable rate. The daily standard periodic rate will increase if the prime rate increases and decrease if the prime rate decreases until it reaches the minimum daily standard periodic rate. An increase in the daily standard periodic rate may increase the total amount of finance charges you pay on your Cash Advance subaccount. An increase in the daily standard periodic rate may increase the amount of the minimum monthly payment of the Cash Advance subaccount. The rate change date for each quarter is the first day of the first billing cycle beginning on or after January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The daily standard periodic rate for a billing cycle is figured by adding 19.90 percentage points to the prime rate for that billing cycle and dividing the sum by 365. As of January 1, 2009, the daily standard periodic rate was 0.06547% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 23.90%)..
DEFAULT PERIODIC RATE. If at any time you fail to pay the Total Minimum Payment for your account when due for two consecutive billing cycles, your Cash Advance subaccount may be subject to the daily default periodic rate. If this condition occurs, the daily default periodic rate may be applied to all transactions and balances. The daily default periodic rate will be applied effective on the first day of the billing cycle after which the Total Minimum Payment was not received when due for two consecutive billing cycles. The daily default periodic rate used to figure the finance charge for the Cash Advance subaccount will be a variable rate, subject to quarterly changes, and based on the prime rate. The minimum daily default periodic rate that can apply is 0.07643% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 27.90%). There is no maximum daily default periodic rate that can apply. The prime rate we use is the highest prime rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month preceding the month of the rate change date. If the prime rate is no longer published or is otherwise unavailable, we may select a comparable rate. The daily default periodic rate will increase if the prime rate increases and decrease if the prime rate decreases until it reaches the minimum daily default periodic rate. An increase in the daily default periodic rate may increase the total amount of finance charges you pay on your Cash Advance subaccount. An increase in the daily default periodic rate may increase the amount of the minimum monthly payment of the Cash Advance subaccount. The rate change date for each quarter is the first day of the first billing cycle beginning on or after January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The daily default periodic rate for a billing cycle is figured by adding 23.90 percentage points to the prime rate for that billing cycle and dividing the sum by 365. As of January 1, 2009, the daily default periodic rate was 0.07643% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 27.90%). If your Cash Advance subaccount is subject to the daily default periodic rate, you will qualify for reinstatement of the daily standard periodic rate if you pay each of the Total Minimum Payments due on your billing statements by their respective Payment Due Dates for six consecutive billing cycles. If you satisfy this condition, the daily standard periodic rate for the Cash Advance subaccount (as applicable) will then apply to new transactions billed to your Cash Advance subaccount and to any existing balances in your Cash Advance subaccount that had been under the daily default periodic rate, effective on the first day of the billing cycle in which the Total Minimum Payment is received by the Payment Due Date for the sixth consecutive billing cycle. Your Cash Advance subaccount may be subject to the daily default periodic rate even if your account is closed. CASH ADVANCE FEE. You agree to pay a cash advance fee to your account for each cash advance you obtain. The cash advance fee is an additional FINANCE CHARGE, which will be applied to your Cash Advance subaccount when the cash advance is posted. The amount of the cash advance fee will be 4% of the amount of the cash advance, but not less than $10.00 for any single cash advance. We may waive cash advance fees for certain cash advances for a specified period of time. This means that you will not be charged for cash advance fees on those cash advances during the special terms period.
FINANCE CHARGE. The total finance charge for your Cash Advance subaccount for a billing cycle will be made up of any cash advance fee imposed during the billing cycle, plus the amount obtained by applying the daily periodic rate for the current billing cycle to the average daily balance of cash advances and multiplying the product by the number of days in the current billing cycle.
AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE OF CASH ADVANCES. We calculate the daily balances for cash advances by starting with the beginning balance of cash advances on the first day of the billing cycle. For each day in the billing cycle, we add the amount of all new cash advances made, plus any applicable fees or charges, and also add a finance charge amount equal to the previous day's cash advance balance multiplied by the daily periodic rate applicable to cash advances, we subtract the amount of any payments or credits applied to the cash advance balance. This gives us the daily balance of cash advances. Any daily balance of cash advances that is a credit balance will be treated as zero. Then, to calculate your average daily balance each month, we calculate the daily balance of cash advances for each day in the billing cycle, add the daily balances together, and divide that total amount by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance." You understand and acknowledge that this method of calculating the finance charge results in daily compounding of interest.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS -- KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE.
This notice contains important information about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Notify Us in Case of Errors or Questions About Your Bill.
If you think your bill is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us on a separate sheet at the address listed on your bill. Write to us as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your rights.
In your letter, give us the following information:
• Your name and account number.
• The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error.
If you need more information, describe the item you are not sure about.
Your Rights and Our 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 bill was correct.
After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount 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 bill that are not in question. If we find that we made a mistake on your bill, 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 bill. 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 you and 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 bill was correct.

If you have a problem with the quality of property or services that you purchased with a credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the property or services.

(a) You must have made the purchase in your home state or, if not within your home state, within 100 miles of your current mailing address; and

These limitations do not apply if we own or operate the merchant, or if we mailed you the advertisement for the property or services.

In addition, any party covered by this Agreement retains the right to seek relief in small claims court for any Claim within the scope of the small claims court's jurisdiction. The filing of a lawsuit or the pursuit of other self-help remedies does not mean that any party has waived the right to subsequently elect to submit a Claim to arbitration.

Information about the American Arbitration Association, its rules, and its forms are available from the American Arbitration Association on the internet at http://www.adr.org or from the American Arbitration Association at 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New York, New York 10017-4605.
