TCU HOME EQUITY CARD
SOUTH BEND, IN 46601
This disclosure contains important information about our TCU Home Equity Card. You should read it carefully and keep a copy for your records.
1. AVAILABILITY OF TERMS. All of the terms described below are subject to change. If these terms change (other than the annual percentage rate), and you
decide, as a result, not to enter into an agreement with us, you are entitled to a refund of any fees that you have paid to us or anyone else in connection with
your application.
2. SECURITY INTEREST. We will take a security interest in your home. You could lose your home if you do not meet the obligations in your agreement with us.
3. POSSIBLE ACTIONS. Under certain circumstances, we can:
A. Terminate your line of credit and require you to pay us the entire outstanding balance in one payment;
B. Refuse to make additional extensions of credit; and
C. Reduce your credit limit.
We can terminate your line of credit and require you to pay us the entire outstanding balance in one payment if:
A. You engage in fraud or material misrepresentation in connection with the line of credit;
B. You fail to make a payment as required by the agreement; or
C. Your action or inaction adversely affects the collateral or our rights in the collateral.
We can refuse to make additional extensions of credit or reduce your credit limit if:
A. The value of the dwelling securing the line of credit declines significantly below its appraised value for purposes of the line of credit;
B.
We reasonably believe you will not be able to meet the repayment requirements under the line of credit due to a material change in your financial
circumstances;
C. You are in default of a material obligation of the agreement;
D.
Government action prevents us from imposing the annual percentage rate provided for in the agreement, or impairs our security interest such that the
value of the interest is less than 120 percent of the credit limit on the line of credit;
E. A regulatory agency has notified us that continued advances would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice; or
F. The maximum annual percentage rate is reached.
4.
MINIMUM PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS. You can obtain credit advances for 5 years (the "draw period"). During this period, payments will be due monthly.
Your minimum monthly payment will equal the greater of the following:
The amount of accrued finance charges on the last day of the billing cycle;
$50.00; or
1.000 percent of the principal balance outstanding on the last day of the billing cycle.
The minimum payment amount will be rounded up to the nearest $1.00. Whenever a flat dollar amount is used to determine the minimum payment however, the
minimum payment will be rounded to the nearest $.01. The minimum monthly payments during the draw period may not reduce the principal that is outstanding
on your line of credit.
After the draw period ends, you will no longer be able to obtain credit advances and must pay the outstanding balance on your line of credit (the "repayment
period.") The length of the repayment period is 8 years. During the repayment period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal
the following:
An amortized payment of the loan account balance on the last day of the draw period. This balance will be amortized over 8 years.
The minimum payment will change whenever the annual percentage rate changes. The minimum payment amount will be rounded to the nearest $.01. The
minimum monthly payments may not be sufficient to fully repay the principal that is outstanding on your line of credit by the end of the repayment period. If they
are not, you will, to the extent permitted by law, be required to pay the entire balance in a single payment.
5. MINIMUM PAYMENT EXAMPLE. If you made only the minimum monthly payment and took no other credit advances, it would take 13 years to pay off a credit
advance of $10,000.00 at an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 3.750%. During that period, you would make 60 payments varying between $100.00 and
$67.00 followed by 95 payments of $79.49, with a final payment of $80.00.
6.
FEES AND CHARGES. To open and maintain a line of credit, you must pay the following fees to us:
Annual Fee: $25.00 (due annually)
Note
that some fees may only apply upon the occurrence of an event and have been provided for information purposes only.
You must also pay certain fees to third parties, such as appraisers, credit reporting firms, and government agencies. The following are an estimate of third party
fees:
Appraisal: $
Property survey: $
Credit report: $
Title search: $
Title insurance: $
Government Agencies: $
Other
$
You must carry insurance on the property that secures the line of credit.
7. REFUNDABILITY OF FEES. If you decide not to enter into this plan within three days of receiving this disclosure and the Home Equity Booklet, you are entitled
to a refund of any fee you may have already paid.
8. TAX DEDUCTIBILITY. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges for the line of credit.
9. VARIABLE RATE FEATURES. This line of credit has a variable rate feature and the annual percentage rate (corresponding to the periodic rate) and the minimum
monthly payment can change as a result. The annual percentage rate includes only interest and not other costs. The annual percentage rate is based on the value
of an index. The index is the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 70% of the 10 largest U.S. banks known as the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate
and is published in the Wall Street Journal. To determine the annual percentage rate that will apply to your line of credit, we subtract a margin to the value of the
index. The initial annual percentage rate is discounted it is not based on the index and margin used for later rate adjustments. The initial rate will be in effect
for 6 months. Ask us for the current index value, margin, discount and annual percentage rate. After you open a line of credit, rate information will be provided
on periodic statements that we send you.
10. RATE CHANGES. The annual percentage rate can change quarterly after remaining fixed for 6 months. There is no limit on the amount by which the rate can
change in any one year period. The maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE that can apply during the line of credit is 12.000 percent. The minimum
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE that can apply during the line of credit is 3.750 percent. The minimum annual percentage rate does not apply to the initial
discount rate.
11. MAXIMUM RATE AND PAYMENT EXAMPLES. If you had an outstanding balance of $10,000.00 at the beginning of the draw period, the minimum monthly
payment at the maximum ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 12.000 percent would be $100.00. The maximum annual percentage rate during the draw period,
could be reached in the 1st month (1 month) following an initial hold of 6 months.
If you had an outstanding balance of $10,000.00 at the beginning of the repayment period, the minimum monthly payment at the maximum ANNUAL
PERCENTAGE RATE of 12.000 percent would be $162.53. The maximum annual percentage rate during the repayment period, could be reached in the 4th
month (4 months).
12. HISTORICAL EXAMPLES. The following table shows how the annual percentage rate and the minimum payments for a single $10,000.00 credit advance
would have changed based on changes in the index over the last 15 years. The index values are from the first business day of January. While only one payment
amount per year is shown, payments would have varied during each year. The table assumes that no additional credit advances were taken, that only the
minimum payment was made, and that the rate remained constant during each year. It does not necessarily indicate how the index or your payments would
change in the future.
