Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

in a form substantially similar to the following:
"NOTICE OF PLACEMENT OF INSURANCE
Your credit agreement with us requires you to maintain adequate insurance on
your collateral until you pay off your loan. You have not given us proof that
you have adequate insurance on your collateral. Under the terms of your credit
agreement, we have purchased insurance at your expense to protect our interests
in your collateral.
The insurance we purchased will pay claims made by us as
the creditor. The insurance we purchased may not pay any claims made by you
or against you in
connection with your collateral.
You are responsible for the costs of this insurance, including any
interest and other charges that we may impose in connection with the purchase of

which may

costs of this insurance will be added to your payment obligations and may
be more than for insurance you can buy
on your own.
You still may obtain insurance of your own choosing on the collateral. If
you provide us with proof that you have obtained adequate insurance on your
collateral, we will cancel the insurance that we purchased and refund or credit
any unearned premiums to you.
If, within 30 days after the date this notice was sent to you, you provide us
with proof that you had adequate insurance on
your collateral as of the date we also purchased insurance and that you
continue to have the insurance that you purchased yourself, we
will cancel the insurance that we purchased without charging you any costs,
interest, or other charges in connection with the insurance that we
purchased."
(b) The terms for repayment of the costs of the collateral protection
insurance, which shall include interest and any other charges imposed by the
creditor in connection with the placement of the collateral protection
insurance, shall include one or more of the following:
(1) full payment within 30 days after the date of the |
| Notice of Placement of Insurance;
|
|
(2) a final balloon payment within 30 days after the
|
| last scheduled payment required by the credit agreement; or
|
|
(3) full amortization over the term of the credit
|
| transaction, the term of the collateral protection insurance policy, or the term for which amortization is used by the creditor.
