The statute, as written — Notice to consumers; general requirements; right to prepay; loan limits; right to rescind
An installment lender shall provide the following notice on each written agreement for an installment loan. The notice shall be in a prominent place and in at least twelve-point type: "THIS INSTALLMENT LOAN IS NOT INTENDED TO MEET LONG-TERM FINANCIAL NEEDS. THIS INSTALLMENT LOAN SHOULD BE USED ONLY TO MEET SHORT-TERM CASH NEEDS. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PREPAY THIS INSTALLMENT LOAN IN FULL OR IN PART WITHOUT A PENALTY. RENEWING THIS INSTALLMENT LOAN RATHER THAN PAYING THE DEBT IN FULL MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FEES OR CHARGES. STATE LAW PROHIBITS THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS INSTALLMENT LOAN FROM EXCEEDING ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($1,500). EXCEEDING THIS AMOUNT MAY CREATE FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESCIND THIS TRANSACTION AT OR BEFORE 5:00 P.M. [SPECIFY HERE THE CLOSE OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY BY DAY OF WEEK AND DATE]."
