  2. Article 8. Commercial Financing

§ 808. Disclosure requirements for renewal financing. If, as a

condition of obtaining the commercial financing, the provider requires

the recipient to pay off the balance of an existing commercial financing

from the same provider, the provider must disclose:

(a) The amount of the new commercial financing that is used to pay off

the portion of the existing commercial financing that consists of

prepayment charges required to be paid and any unpaid interest expense

that was not forgiven at the time of renewal. For financing for which

the total repayment amount is calculated as a fixed amount, the

prepayment charge is equal to the original finance charge multiplied by

the amount of the renewal used to pay off existing financing as a

percentage of the total repayment amount, minus any portion of the total

repayment amount forgiven by the provider at the time of prepayment. If

the amount is more than zero, such amount shall be the answer to the

following question:

"Does the renewal financing include any amount that is used to pay

unpaid finance charge or fees, also known as double dipping? Yes, {enter

amount}. If the amount is zero, the answer would be No."

(b) If the disbursement amount will be reduced to pay down any unpaid

portion of the outstanding balance, the actual dollar amount by which

such disbursement amount will be reduced.
