The following is an initial disclosure statement. If you are approved for a CarCareONESM credit card, a complete credit card agreement (“Agreement”) governing your CarCareONESM credit card account (“Account”) will be sent to you along with your credit card. The CarCareONESM credit card is issued by GE Money Bank (“Bank”). In this disclosure statement, “we”, “us”, and “our” means the Bank; “you” and “your” means all persons who we approve to use the Account; and “Card” means your CarCareONESM credit card. You may use your Account to purchase goods or services (“Purchases”) or to obtain cash advances (“Cash Advances”) by writing checks (“Checks”) we may provide to you from time to time or by other means we may make available.
PERIODIC FINANCE CHARGES. A. The total periodic Finance Charge imposed in a billing period (“Current Billing Period”) is total of (i) the daily periodic Finance Charges on Purchases and Cash Advances in the Current Billing Period, plus (ii) the total of the periodic Finance Charges on new Purchases in the previous billing period (“Previous Billing Period”). However, there will be no periodic Finance Charges imposed in the Current Billing Period on any Purchases (including new Purchases in the Previous Billing Period) if for each billing period you pay your New Balance, including any Cash Advance balance and any balance of Purchases made under any Special Payment Plan, in full on or before the Payment Due Date for such billing period. In addition, there will be no periodic Finance Charges imposed in the Current Billing Period on any new Purchases in the Previous Billing Period if daily Finance Charges were imposed on those new Purchases in the Previous Billing Period.
B. The periodic Finance Charge imposed in the Current Billing Period on Purchases or Cash Advances for the Current Billing Period is determined by multiplying the Periodic Rate for the Current Billing Period times the Daily Balances of Purchases or Cash Advances in the Current Billing Period to determine the daily periodic Finance Charges, and adding together those daily periodic Finance Charges for each day in the Current Billing Period. The periodic Finance Charge imposed in the Current Billing Period on new Purchases for the Previous Billing Period is determined by multiplying the Periodic Rate for the Current Billing Period times the Daily Balances of new Purchases in the Previous Billing Period to determine the daily periodic Finance Charges, and adding together those daily periodic Finance Charges for each day in the Previous Billing Period. However, there is a minimum periodic FINANCE CHARGE of $1 for a billing period in which a periodic Finance Charge is assessed.
C. The periodic Finance Charges will be determined separately for charges incurred under any Special Payment Plan in accordance with the terms established for such Special Payment Plan. You understand and acknowledge that this Account provides for the daily compounding of periodic Finance Charges.
PERIODIC RATES A. The Periodic Rate for your Account is the Standard Rate, unless the Delinquency Rate applies as described below. The Standard Rate for a billing period is the greater of (i) the Prime Rate plus 14.73%, times 1/365, or (ii) .0630% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 22.99%). The Standard Rate shall not exceed .0678% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 24.75%). The “Prime Rate” for a billing period is the highest bank prime loan rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section on the fifth business day preceding the first day of the billing period. As of August 17, 2005 the Standard Rate, was .0630% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 22.99%).
B. When the Standard Rate applies, the Periodic Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate may vary. If the Prime Rate increases, the Periodic Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate may increase, and as a result the periodic Finance Charge, Minimum Payment and number of payments also may increase. Any change in the Standard Rate will apply to your entire Account balance. We may select a new interest rate index if the Prime Rate is not available.
C. If you do not make your required Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date two times in any six consecutive billing periods, the Delinquency Rate (rather than the Standard Rate) will apply to all existing balances on your Account and all new transactions beginning with the first day of the billing period in which you missed your second Payment Due Date. The Delinquency Rate is a fixed rate of .0739% (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 26.99%). Once the Delinquency Rate applies, if you make any required Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date in twelve consecutive billing periods, the next Statement you receive will reflect the Standard Rate (rather than the Delinquency Rate) which will apply to all existing balances on your Account and all new transactions beginning with the first day of the billing period reflected on that Statement.
BALANCE SUBJECT TO PERIODIC FINANCE CHARGES. A. To calculate the Daily Balance of Purchases in the Current Billing Period, we take the beginning Daily Balance of Purchases in your Account each day in the Current Billing Period, add any new Purchases, fees (other than Transaction Fees for Cash Advances), debt cancellation fees, or credit insurance premiums assessed that day. We also add other debits assessed that day, and subtract any payments or credits issued on that day, allocated to the Purchase balance. We then multiply this Daily Balance of Purchases by the Periodic Rate for the Current Billing Period and add the daily periodic Finance Charge to the ending Daily Balance of Purchases to determine the beginning Daily Balance of Purchases for the next day.
B. To calculate the Daily Balance of Cash Advances in the Current Billing Period, we take the beginning Daily Balance of Cash Advances in your Account each day in the Current Billing Period, add any new Cash Advances or Transaction Fees for Cash Advances assessed that day. We also add other debits assessed that day, and subtract any payments or credits issued on that day, allocated to the Cash Advance balance. We then multiply this Daily Balance of Cash Advances by the Periodic Rate for the Current Billing Period and add the daily periodic Finance Charge to the ending Daily Balance of Cash Advances to determine the beginning Daily Balance of Cash Advances for the next day.
C. To calculate the Daily Balance of new Purchases in the Previous Billing Period, we take the beginning Daily Balance of new Purchases in your Account each day in the Previous Billing Period, and add any new Purchases that day. We also add other debits assessed that day, and subtract any payments or credits issued on that day, allocated to the balance of new Purchases. We then multiply this Daily Balance of new Purchases by the Periodic Rate for the Current Billing Period and add the daily periodic Finance Charge to the ending Daily Balance of new Purchases to determine the beginning Daily Balance of new Purchases for the next day.
D. Any Daily Balance of less than zero will be treated as zero. Purchases and Cash Advances are included in the Daily Balance of your Account as of the transaction date or, at our option, as of the date the transaction is posted to your Account.
WHEN PERIODIC FINANCE CHARGES BEGIN TO ACCRUE. Purchases and Cash Advances begin to accrue periodic Finance Charges from the day the charge is included in the Daily Balance of the Account and continue to accrue finance charges until the charge is paid in full. However, you can avoid periodic Finance Charges on new Purchases in the Current Billing Period if for each billing period you pay your New Balance, including any Cash Advance balance and any balance of Purchases made under any Special Payment Plan, in full on or before the Payment Due Date for such billing period. There is no period within which you can avoid periodic Finance Charges on Cash Advances or Transaction Fees for Cash Advances.
PAYMENTS. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment on your billing statement by the Payment Due Date shown on the billing statement. You may pay more than your Minimum Payment at any time. Your Minimum Payment will be (i) the greater of $10.00 or 5% of the New Balance minus any new balance attributable to any Special Payment Plan that involves delayed or special payments, rounded to the next lowest dollar, plus (ii) any past due amounts. However, the Minimum Payment is the New Balance if the New Balance is less than $10.00. You must pay any due amounts as part of your Minimum Payment. We reserve the right to select the method by which payments and credits are allocated to your Account in our sole discretion. The payment allocation method that we use may result in higher Finance Charges on your Account, depending on the types of transaction you make (such as promotional or non-promotional purchases), and the timing and amount of your payments. If you have any questions about our allocation of your payment or would prefer to choose a different payment allocation option we offer, please call customer service at 1-866-396-8254.
FEES. You agree to pay the following fees. A. A Late Payment Fee, if we have not received your Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement. The amount of the Late Payment Fee will be based on your New Balance at the end of the billing period ending after the Payment Due Date. The Late Payment Fee will be $15 for a New Balance under $99.99; $29 for a New Balance $100.00 to $999.99; and $35 for a Balance of $1000.00 or more.
B. A Returned Check Fee of $29 if any check or other instrument sent to us, or any electronic payment authorization you provide us in payment on your Account, is not honored upon first presentment, even if the check, instrument or electronic authorization is later honored.
C. An Over Limit Fee of $29 for each billing period in which your New Balance as shown on your Statement exceeds your Credit Limit. We may assess an Over Limit Fee even if we authorize the transactions on your Account that caused you to exceed your Credit Limit or if you exceed your Credit Limit as a result of unpaid Finance Charges, the billing of deferred accrued Finance Charges or other fees.
D. A Transaction Fee for each Cash Advance that posts to your Account. This fee will be a FINANCE CHARGE equal to 4% of the amount of the Cash Advance, with a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $50.
E. A Returned Loan Check Fee of $20, on your Account in the event any Check on your Account is not honored by us because (i) the portion of your Credit Limit available for Checks is insufficient to cover the amount of the Check, (ii) you have filed a petition in bankruptcy, (iii) the Check has expired, or (iv) your Account has been closed.
F. A Stop Payment Fee of $20 if we stop payment on any Check at your request.
SECURITY INTEREST. You grant us a purchase money security interest in each item of merchandise purchased on your Account to secure its unpaid purchase price until such merchandise is paid in full. Solely for the purpose of determining the extent of our purchase money security interest in each such item of merchandise, your payments will be allocated first to Finance Charges on the Account, and then to pay off each Purchase on the Account in the order in which the Purchase was made (if more than one item was purchased on the same day, your payments will be allocated to pay off the lowest priced item first). Additionally, if you made a Purchase pursuant to a credit promotion involving the avoidance of Finance Charges and that Purchase is included on Statements during the promotional period, we also will allocate to such promotional Purchase the same payments referred to in the immediately preceding sentence if those payments are received during the period starting with the initial billing of the promotional Purchase until the expiration of the promotional period. For purposes of determining the amount owing on your Account, payments will be credited only once at the time of payment to the then-outstanding balance of your Account. We agree that no security interest is or will be retained or acquired under this Agreement in any real property which is used or is expected to be used as your dwelling.
CHANGE IN TERMS. We may, at any time and subject to applicable law, change, add or delete provisions of the Agreement (“Terms Change”) or terminate your Account. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may apply any Terms Change to any outstanding or future balances of your Account.
ARBITRATION. The Agreement contains an arbitration provision that may substantially limit your rights in the event of a dispute, including your right to litigate in court or have a jury trial, discovery and appeal rights, and the right to participate as a representative or member of a class action. You have a right to reject the arbitration provision, by following the instructions in the arbitration provision. If you reject arbitration, it will have no effect on any other terms of the Agreement.
