  1 26 payments, with respect to a loan secured by a lien or
  1 27 security interest on owner-occupied residential real

  1 30 defined in section 535B.1.
  1 31    Sec. 3.  Section 537.2502, subsections 1, 2, and 3,
  1 32 Code 1999, are amended to read as follows:
  1 33    1.  With respect to a precomputed consumer credit
  1 34 transaction not pursuant to an open-end credit
  1 35 arrangement and other than a consumer lease or
  1 36 consumer rental purchase agreement, the parties may
  1 37 contract for a delinquency charge on any installment

  1 39 as originally scheduled or as deferred, in an amount

  2  3 paragraph "a", may be collected only once on an
  2  4 installment however long it remains in default.  No
  2  5 delinquency charge may be collected with respect to a
  2  6 deferred installment unless the installment is not
  2  7 paid in full within ten days after its deferred due
  2  8 date.  A delinquency charge may be collected at the
  2  9 time it accrues or at any time afterward.
  2 10    3.  No A delinquency charge may shall not be
  2 11 collected under subsection 1, paragraph "a", on an
  2 12 installment which is paid in full within ten days

  2 15 delinquency or deferral charge on an earlier
  2 16 installment may not have been paid in full.  For
  2 17 purposes of this subsection payments are applied first
  2 18 to current installments and then to delinquent
  2 19 installments.
  2 20    Sec. 4.  Section 537.3206, Code 1999, is amended by
  2 21 adding the following new subsection:
  2 22    NEW SUBSECTION.  4.  a.  A creditor shall credit a
  2 23 payment to the consumer's account as of the date of
  2 24 receipt, except when a delay in crediting does not
  2 25 result in a finance or other charge, including a late
  2 26 charge, or except as provided in paragraph "b".  For
  2 27 purposes of this subsection, a delay in posting does
  2 28 not violate this subsection so long as the payment is
  2 29 credited as of the date of receipt.
  2 30    b.  If a creditor specifies requirements for the
  2 31 consumer to follow in making payments on the contract,
  2 32 payment coupon book, payment coupon or statement, or
  2 33 periodic statement, but accepts a payment that does
  2 34 not conform to the requirements, the creditor shall
  2 35 credit the payment within two days of receipt of such
  2 36 payment.
  2 37    c.  If a creditor fails to credit a payment as
  2 38 required by this subsection in time to avoid the
  2 39 imposition of a finance or other charge, including a
  2 40 delinquency charge, the creditor shall adjust the
  2 41 consumer's account so that the charges imposed are
  2 42 credited to the consumer's account during the next
  2 43 payment period."
