(1) If a consumer credit transaction agreement requires a consumer to insure or preserve the collateral and the consumer fails to do so, after providing the consumer prior notification and a reasonable opportunity to perform, the creditor may pay for the performance of insuring or preserving the collateral on the consumer's behalf and may add the payment to the unpaid debt balance. Within a reasonable time after advancing any sums, the creditor shall state to the buyer in writing the amount of the sums advanced, any charges with respect to this amount, and any revised payment schedule and, if the duties of the consumer performed by the creditor pertain to insurance, a brief description of the insurance paid for by the creditor including the type and amount of coverages. No further information need be given.
(2) A finance charge may be made for sums advanced pursuant to subsection (1) at a rate not to exceed the rate stated to the consumer pursuant to law in a disclosure statement, except that with respect to open-end credit the amount of the advance may be added to the unpaid balance of the debt and the creditor may make a finance charge not exceeding that permitted by the appropriate provisions on finance charge for consumer credit sales pursuant to open-end credit or for consumer loans, whichever is appropriate.
