11   fee as agreed between the borrower and the lender, and
12   annually may collect an account maintenance fee of not
13   more than fifteen dollars.  Fees collected under this
14   subsection shall be disregarded for purposes of
15   determining the maximum charge permitted by subsection
16   4.
17     b.  The parties to a home equity line of credit

18   which is not a consumer credit transaction, as defined
19   in section 537.1301, may contract for a delinquency
20   charge under terms no more favorable than those
21   permitted for open-end credit under section 537.2502.
22     Sec. 2. NEW SECTION.  535.14  PROMPT PAYMENT ON
23   LOANS SECURED BY RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY.
24     A lender is subject to the requirements set forth

26   payments, with respect to a loan secured by a lien or
27   security interest on owner-occupied residential real
28   property.  For purposes of this section, "residential
29   real property" means residential real property as
30   defined in section 535B.1.
31     Sec. 3.  Section 537.2502, subsections 1, 2, and 3,
32   Code 1999, are amended to read as follows:
33     1.  With respect to a precomputed consumer credit
34   transaction not pursuant to an open-end credit
35   arrangement and other than a consumer lease or
36   consumer rental purchase agreement, the parties may

following
41   as follows:
42     a.  For a precomputed transaction, an amount not
43   exceeding the greater of either of the following:
44     a. (1)  Five percent of the unpaid amount of the
45   installment, or a maximum of twenty dollars.
46     b. (2)  The deferral charge that would be permitted
47   to defer the unpaid amount of the installment for the
48   period that it is delinquent.
49     b.  For an interest-bearing transaction, an amount
50   not exceeding five percent of the unpaid amount of the
Page 2  
 1   installment, or a maximum of fifteen dollars.
 2     2.  A delinquency charge under subsection 1,
 3   paragraph "a", may be collected only once on an
 4   installment however long it remains in default.  No
 5   delinquency charge may be collected with respect to a
 6   deferred installment unless the installment is not
 7   paid in full within ten days after its deferred due
 8   date.  A delinquency charge may be collected at the
 9   time it accrues or at any time afterward.
10     3. No A delinquency charge may shall not be
11   collected under subsection 1, paragraph "a", on an
12   installment which is paid in full within ten days
13   after its scheduled or deferred installment due date
14   even though an earlier maturing installment or a
15   delinquency or deferral charge on an earlier
16   installment may not have been paid in full.  For

17   purposes of this subsection payments are applied first
18   to current installments and then to delinquent
19   installments.
20     Sec. 4.  Section 537.3206, Code 1999, is amended by
21   adding the following new subsection:
22     NEW SUBSECTION.  4.  a.  A creditor shall credit a
23   payment to the consumer's account as of the date of
24   receipt, except when a delay in crediting does not
25   result in a finance or other charge, including a late
26   charge, or except as provided in paragraph "b".  For
27   purposes of this subsection, a delay in posting does
28   not violate this subsection so long as the payment is
29   credited as of the date of receipt.
30     b.  If a creditor specifies requirements for the
31   consumer to follow in making payments on the contract,
32   payment coupon book, payment coupon or statement, or
33   periodic statement, but accepts a payment that does
34   not conform to the requirements, the creditor shall
35   credit the payment within two days of receipt of such
36   payment.
37     c.  If a creditor fails to credit a payment as
38   required by this subsection in time to avoid the
39   imposition of a finance or other charge, including a
40   delinquency charge, the creditor shall adjust the
41   consumer's account so that the charges imposed are
42   credited to the consumer's account during the next
43   payment period."
44     2.  Title page, by striking lines 1 and 2 and
45   inserting the following:  "An Act relating to
