consumer in connection with the account;

(b) failure by the consumer to meet the repayment terms of

this subsection, a creditor may make any of the

less than the original appraisal value of the

(iii) Prohibit additional extensions of credit or

reduce the credit limit applicable to the account

during any period in which the creditor has

reason to believe that the consumer will be

unable to comply with the repayment requirements

of the account due to a material change in the

reduce the credit limit applicable to the account

during any period in which the consumer is in

default with respect to any material obligation

of the consumer under the agreement,

reduce the credit limit applicable to the account

during any period in which:

(aa) the creditor is precluded by government

action from imposing the annual percentage

rate provided for in the account agreement,

or

(bb) any government action is in effect which

adversely affects the priority of the
