All automobile insurers shall as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than sixty days, pay to the premium finance company, if the premium has been financed or if not financed, to the insured, or the person entitled thereto as shown by the automobile insurer's records any overpayment or surplus and commission paid or due on the policy. The failure to pay the person owed the money within the sixty-day period shall entitle that person to recover monetary penalties and interest. In the event the insured is due a credit from an endorsement or change to the policy, the return premium and commission shall be computed on a pro rata basis. However, when the insured continues to maintain a policy of insurance with the insurer, or an affiliated insurer, and the amount of the refund plus interest is twenty-five dollars or less, the insurer may credit the amount of the payment against future premiums. The insurer shall give written notice to the insured of the credit and the amount at policy renewal.
