    Charge Account Contract

    I hearby make application for a charge account and agree:

    1. To pay the full amount shown in the new balance block of my monthly statement by the 25th of the month following the statement date or elect to pay option terms. I understand I can, at any time, avoid FINANCE CHARGES by paying the entire new balance as shown on my monthly statement. 

    2. FINANCE CHARGES at an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE are 18% which is a monthly "periodic rate" of 1 1/2%. 

    General – FINANCIAL CHARGES are applied to your average daily balance by adding your balances for each day in the billing cycle and then dividing by the number of days in the billing cycle. If customer chooses to pay less than the entire new balance, the minimum payment shall be 15% if the new balance plus the FINANCE CHARGE, or a minimum payment of $15.00 plus the FINANCE CHARGE on balances less than $100. Payments will be applied first to FINANCE CHARGES, and then to sales balances then outstanding. 

    3. You may do a credit investigation of my credit history and capacity and furnish information concerning this account to credit reporting agencies and others who may properly receive that information.

    4. That, in the event I/we fail to make any monthly payment, in accordance with the payment chart, the entire balance will be due, American Home and Hardware and my/our privilege to further charge may be suspended. In such event, if this account is referred to an attorney or outside collectin agency for collections, I/we agree to pay expenses of collections, 20% collection fee, and attorney fees.

    • In Case of Errors or Inquiries About Your Bill 
    • The Federal Truth-in-Lending Act requires prompt correction of billing mistakes. 

      1. If you want to preserve your rights under the Act, here's what to do if you think your bill is wrong or if you need more information about an item on your bill: 
        1. Do not write on the bill. On a separate sheet of paper write (you may telephone your inquiry but doing so will not preserve your rights under this law) the following:
          1. Your name and account number (if any)
          2. A description of the error and an explanation (to the extent you can explain) why you believe it is an error. If you only need more information, explain the item you are not sure about and, if you wish, ask for ecidence of the charge such as a copy of the charge slip. Do not send in your copy of the sales slip or other document unless you have a duplicate copy for your records.
          3. The dollar amount of the suspected error.
          4. Any other information (such as your address) which you think will help the creditor to identify you or the reason for your complaint or inquiry.

        2. Send your billing error notice to the address on your bill which is listed after the words: "Send Inquiries To:" or similar wording. Mail it as soon as you can, but in any case, early enough to reach the creditor within 60 days after the bill was mailed to you. If you have authoiruzed your bank to automatically pay from your checking or savings account any credit card bills from that back, you can stop or reverse payment on any mount you think is wrong by mailing your notice so the creditor receives it within 16 days adter the bill was sent to you. However, you do not have to meet this 16 day deadline to get the creditor to investigate your billing error claim. 
      2. The creditor must acknowledge all letters pointing out possible errors within 30 days of receipt, unless the creditor is able to correct your bill during that 30 days. Within 90 days after receiving your letter, the creditor must either correct the error or explain why the creditor believes the bill was correct. Once the creditor has explained the bill, the creditor has no further obligation to you even though you still believe that there is an error, except as provided in paragraph 5 below. 
      3. After the creditor has been notified, neither the creditor nor an attorney nor a collection agency may send you collection letters or take other collection action with respect to the amount in dispute; but periodic statements may be sent to you, and the disputed amount can be applied against your credit limit. You can not be threatened with damage to your credit rating or sued for the amount in question, not can the disputed amount be reported to a credit bureau or to other creditors as delinquent until the creditor has answered your inquiry. However, you remain obligated to pay the parts of your bill not in dispute. 
      4. If it is determined that the creditor has made a mistake on your bill, you will not have to pay any finance charges on any disputed amount. If it turns out that the creditor has not made an error, you may have to pay finance charges on the amount in dispute, and you will have to make up any missed minimum or required payments on the disputed amount. Unless you have agreed that your bill was correct, the creditor must send you a written notification of what you owe; and if it is determined that the creditor did make a mistake in billing the disputed amount, you must be given time to pay which you normally are given to pay undisputed amounts before any more finance charge or late payment charged on the disputed amount can be charged to you. 
      5. If the creditor's explanation does not satisfy you and you notify the creditor in writing within 10 days after you receive his explanation that you still refuse to pay the disputed amount, the creditor may report you to credit bureaus and other creditors and may pursue regular collection procedures. But the creditor must also report that you think you do not owe the money, and the creditor must let you know to whom such reports were made. Once the matter has been settled between you and the creditor, the creditor must notify those to whom the creditor reported you as delinquent of the subsequent resolution. 
      6. If the creditor does not follow these rules, the creditor is not allowed to collect the first $50 of the disputed amount and finance charges, even if the bill turns out to be correct. 
      7. If you have a problem with property or services purchased with a credit card, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on them, if you first try in good faith to return them or give the merchant a chance to correct the problem.
