by the customer on or before the date fixed as the maturity date for

the transaction in the pawn agreement or disclosure statement

delivered, shall be held by the pawnbroker for at least thirty (30)

days following such date, and may be redeemed by the customer within

such period by the payment of the originally agreed redemption price

and the payment of an additional pawn finance charge equal to one-

thirtieth (1/30) of the original monthly pawn finance charge for

each day following the original maturity date including the day on

which the pledged goods are finally redeemed.

E. Refunds. The pawn finance charges authorized in this

section shall be deemed to be earned at the time the pawn
