Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) If a lender makes a change in the terms of a revolving loan account without complying with this section any additional cost or charge to the debtor resulting from the change is an excess charge and subject to the remedies available to debtors (W.S. 40-14-521) and to the administrator (W.S. 40-14-613).

(b) A lender may change the terms of a revolving loan account whether or not the change is authorized by prior agreement. Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, the lender shall give to the debtor written notice of any change at least three (3) times, with the first notice at least six (6) months before the effective date of the change.

(c) The notice specified in subsection (b) of this section is not required if notice of any proposed change in the terms of a revolving loan account is given to the customer at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change or thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the billing cycle within which such change will become effective, whichever is the earlier date, and if:

(i) The debtor after receiving notice of the change agrees in writing to the change;

(ii) The debtor elects to pay an amount designated on a billing statement as including a new charge for a benefit offered to the debtor when the benefit and charge constitute the change in terms and when the billing statement also states the amount payable if the new charge is excluded;

(iii) The change involves no significant cost to the debtor;

(iv) The debtor has previously consented in writing to the kind of change made and notice of the change is given to the debtor in two (2) billing cycles prior to the effective date of the change; or

(v) The change applies only to debts incurred after a date specified in a notice of the change given in two (2) billing cycles prior to the effective date of the change.
