IC 37-2-5-5 — Maximum charge by creditor for insurance; methods for calculating charge
Chapter 5. Insurance
Section text
Sec. 5. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), if a creditor contracts for or receives a separate charge for insurance, the amount charged to the debtor for the insurance may not exceed the premium to be charged by the insurer, as computed at the time the charge to the debtor is determined, conforming to any rate filings required by law and made by the insurer with the insurance commissioner. (b) A creditor who provides consumer credit insurance in relation to a revolving charge account or revolving loan account may calculate the charge to the debtor in each billing cycle by applying the current premium rate to one (1) of the following: (1) The average daily unpaid balance of the debt in the cycle. (2) The unpaid balance of the debt or a median amount within a specified range of unpaid balances of debt on approximately the same day of the cycle. The day of the cycle need not be the day used in calculating the credit service charge under IC 37-2-3-4(f) or loan finance charge (IC 37-2-4-4 and IC 37-2-4-35), but the specified range shall be the range used for that purpose. (3) The unpaid balances of principal calculated according to the actuarial method. (4) The amount of the insurance benefit for the cycle.
