Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 9, § 3514. Agreement to contract; disclosures of the contract

A. The parties to a transaction other than a consumer credit transaction may contract with one another that such transaction shall be subject to the provisions of this Chapter, in which event the transaction shall be a consumer credit transaction within the provisions of this Chapter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties to a consumer credit transaction otherwise subject to the Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act, R.S. 6:969.1 et seq. may not contract to become subject to the provisions of this Chapter. Unless a creditor is exempt from the licensing requirements of this Chapter under R.S. 9:3560, a creditor may not contract more than four transactions under the provisions of this Chapter over any calendar year without first complying with the licensing requirements under Part IX of this Chapter.

B. Written credit contracts and agreements shall accurately reflect the actual terms, conditions, applicable amount of fees, and repayment schedule agreed to by the parties. If a loan is to be repaid on demand, in a lump sum, or at undefined intervals of time, interest on the loan shall be computed by the actuarial or simple interest method when allocating payments made on the loan.
