Cancellation
Official statutory text
A. Debt waiver or debt forgiveness agreements may be cancelled. Debt waiver or debt forgiveness agreements shall provide that if a consumer cancels a waiver within the "free-look period", the consumer shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price, so long as no benefits have been provided; or in the event benefits have been provided, the consumer may receive a full or partial refund pursuant to the terms of the waiver.
B. In the event of a consumer cancellation of the debt waiver or debt forgiveness agreement or early termination of the contract, after the agreement has been in effect beyond the "free-look period", the consumer is entitled to a refund of any unearned portion of the purchase price of the waiver on terms no less favorable to the consumer than the method of refund commonly known as the "Rule of 78s" or the "sum of digits" refund method. In order to receive a refund, the consumer, in accordance with any applicable terms of the waiver, shall provide a written request to the lender, administrator, or other party.
C. If the cancellation of a debt waiver or debt forgiveness agreement occurs as a result of a default under the contract or the repossession of the motor vehicle associated with the contract, or any other termination of the contract, any refund due may be paid directly to the lender or administrator and applied as set forth in Subsection D of this Section.
D. Any cancellation refund under the provisions of this Section may be applied by the lender as a reduction of the amount owed under the contract, unless the consumer can show that the contract has been paid in full.
E. No consumer shall be charged a cancellation fee.
