                                     PART I
Item  1.  Business.

     The NationsCredit Grantor Trust 1996-1 (the "Trust") was formed pursuant to
a  Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") dated
as  of  January  31,  1996  among  NationsCredit Securitization Corporation (the
"Seller"),  NationsCredit  Distribution  Finance,  Inc.  (formerly  known  as
NationsCredit  Commercial  Corporation of America), as Servicer (the "Servicer")
and  Bankers  Trust  Company,  as  trustee  (the  "Trustee").  The  Trust's only
business  is  to act as a passive trust to permit investment in a pool of retail
installment  sales  contracts.

Item  2.  Properties.

     The  assets  of the Trust include a pool of marine retail installment sales
contracts (the "Receivables"), the security interests in the collateral securing
the  Receivables  and  certain other property more specifically set forth in the
Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement.

Item  3.  Legal  Proceedings.

     There  are  no  pending  legal  proceedings  with  respect  to  the Trustee
involving  the  Trust,  Bankers  Trust  Company,  as  Trustee,  or NationsCredit
Distribution  Finance,  Inc.,  as  Servicer.

Item  4.  Submission  of  Matters  to  a  Vote  of  Security  Holders.

          None.

                                     PART II
Item  5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

          (a)     Market  Information.  There  is no established public trading
                  market for the  Certificates.
          (b)     Holders.  Since  each  of the Certificates was issued in book
                  entry form only,  there  is  only  one  holder  of record of
                  the Certificates.  See Item 12 below.
          (c)     Dividends.  Not  applicable.

                                    PART III

Item  12.  Security  Ownership  of  Certain  Beneficial  Owners  and Management.

     The  Certificates are represented by one or more certificates registered in
the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of  The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). An
investor  holding  an  interest  in  the  Trust  is  not  entitled  to receive a
certificate  representing  such  interest  except  in  limited  circumstances.
Accordingly,  Cede & Co. is the sole holder of record of the Certificates, which
it  holds on behalf of brokers, dealers, banks and other participants in the DTC
system.  Such  participants  may hold certificates for their own accounts or for
the  accounts  of  their  customers.  The  address  of  Cede  &  Co.  is
                    Cede  &  Co.
