Sec. 402. (1) A lender is prohibited from making a small loan to a borrower if the total of:
(a) the principal amount and finance charges of the small loan to be issued; plus
(b) any other small loan balances that the borrower has outstanding with any lender;
exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the borrower's monthly gross income.
(2) A small loan may be secured by only one (1) check or authorization to debit the borrower's account per small loan. The check or electronic debit may not exceed the amount advanced to or on behalf of the borrower plus loan finance charges contracted for and permitted.
(3) A borrower may make partial payments in any amount on the small loan without charge at any time before the due date of the small loan.
(4) After any payment is made on a small loan, whether the payment is made in part or in full before, on, or after the due date of the small loan, the lender shall give a signed and dated receipt to the borrower making a payment showing the amount paid and the balance due on the small loan.
(5) The lender shall provide to each borrower a copy of the required loan documents before the disbursement of the loan proceeds.
(6) A borrower may rescind a small loan without cost by paying the cash amount of the principal of the small loan to the lender not later than the end of the business day immediately following the day on which the borrower receives the proceeds.
(7) A lender shall not enter into a renewal with a borrower. If a loan is paid in full, a subsequent loan is not a renewal.
