To simplify this Agreement for you, the definitions listed below will apply throughout, both in this 
Agreement and in your monthly statements. In addition, the words you, your, and yours refer to 
the Accountholder(s) who holds the Account Number and is responsible for the Account, each of 
whom is individually and jointly obligated under this Agreement. The words we, us, and our refer 
to The Bank of Missouri. 
Account: The Fred Meyer Jewelers Gold Preferred Account for which you were issued an Account 
Number and that is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Retailer. Use of your Account Number to obtain credit will be considered a use of the Account.

charges accrued on such amounts.

USING YOUR ACCOUNT 

Purchases 
You may use your Account to purchase goods and services from Retailer. You promise to pay us 
and are liable for all amounts resulting from the authorized use of your Account Number or Account, 
plus any applicable interest charges and other applicable charges or fees, payable in U.S. dollars. 

Your Credit Limit 
You may not use your Account in any way that would cause you to go over your Credit Limit. We 
may refuse to authorize or accept any transaction on your Account that would cause you to exceed 
your Credit Limit or if your Account is delinquent. We may temporarily agree to allow you to exceed 
your Credit Limit; however, in that case, you must repay the excess amount according to the terms 
of this Agreement. Any transactions honored in excess of your Credit Limit will not result in an 
increase of your Credit Limit. 

MAKING PAYMENTS 

Monthly Statements 
We will send a statement at the end of each monthly Billing Cycle if there is a debit or credit balance 
on your Account of $1 or more, a balance on which an interest charge has been imposed or as 
otherwise required by applicable law. You agree to pay us, or any party to whom we may transfer 
and assign your Account or the amounts owing under your Account, in U.S. dollars according to 
all  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement.  Payments  made  by  a  check,  money  order  or  other 
negotiable instrument must be in a form acceptable to us and drawn on a U.S. financial institution.

Monthly Minimum Payment 
Each  Purchase  transaction  will  have  a  fixed  monthly  payment  amount  based  on  the  following 
schedule:

Purchase Transaction Amount

Fixed Monthly Payment Amount

Up to $500

$500.01 to $1000

$1000.01 to $1500

$1500.01 to $2000

$2000.01 to $2500

$2500.01 to $3000

$3000.01 to $3500

$3500.01 to $4000

$4000.01 to $4500

$4500.01 to $5000

$25

$50

$75

$100

$125

$150

$175

$200

$225

$250

Your monthly minimum payment due will be the greater of:

1.  $25; or
2.  the sum of:

i.

the  sum  of  the  fixed  monthly  payment  amounts  applicable  to  each  of  your  Purchase
transactions, and 

ii.  5% of your Regular Balance.

Your  monthly  minimum  payment  due  also  will  include  any  past  due  amount  or  any  amount  by 
which the New Balance exceeded your Credit Line, whichever of these two is greater. Your monthly 
minimum payment due will never exceed your New Balance. 
If  you  elect  not  to  pay  your  New  Balance  in  full,  you  must  pay  at  least  the  monthly  minimum 
payment due by the payment due date shown on your monthly statement, which is at least 25 days 
after the Closing Date of the Billing Cycle. 
Payments should be mailed with the payment coupon and in the envelope provided and following 
the  other  instructions  on  the  monthly  statement  to  Genesis  FS  Card  Services,  P.O.  Box  84049, 
Columbus,  Georgia  31908-4049.  Any  payment  received  in  that  form  and  at  that  address  on  or 
before 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on a normal banking day will be credited to your Account that day. If 
your payment is received in that form and at that address after 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on a normal 
banking day, or any time on a non-banking day, we will credit it to your Account the next banking 
day. Please allow at least seven (7) business days for postal delivery. Payments received by us at 
any other location or in any other form may not be credited as of the day we receive them. If we 
accept a payment at some other place, we may delay the crediting of the payment for up to five 
(5) days. This may cause you to incur Late Payment Fees and additional interest charges, and may
result in your Account being declared in default. 

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check 
to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your Account or to process the payment as a 
check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, 
funds may be withdrawn from your Account as soon as the same day we receive your payment 
and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution. 
At any time, you may pay part or all of the full amount you owe without incurring any additional 
charge for prepayment. The amount of any payment that exceeds your total New Balance will be 
applied as a credit to your Account, and any remaining credit balance will be refunded as required 
by law. 
Credit availability may be delayed at our sole discretion to ensure payment in good funds, and your 
total Credit Line may not reflect your payments for up to 14 days. 

Application of Payments 
For each Billing Cycle, payments up to the amount of your monthly minimum payment due will be 
allocated to charges and principal due (including new transactions) in any way we determine. We 
will generally apply payments up to the amount of your monthly minimum payment due in a manner 
most favorable or convenient for us. 
For each Billing Cycle, to the extent your payments exceed the amount of your monthly minimum 
payment, we will apply these excess amounts in the order required by applicable law. However, 
during the last two Billing Cycles in which a deferred interest promotion balance that is still subject 
to a promotion period remains outstanding, we will apply these excess amounts to the deferred 
interest promotion balance.

DEFERRED INTEREST PROMOTIONS 

Periodically, we may offer deferred interest promotions on qualifying new Purchase transactions 
(“deferred  interest  promotion  balances”).  Details  of  the  terms  applicable  to  the  deferred  interest 
promotions will be provided with the offer. Deferred interest promotions will be governed by such 
terms and this Agreement. 
The  terms  of  a  deferred  interest  promotion  will  apply  for  a  limited  period  of  time  (“promotion 
period”). Each purchase transaction accrues interest from the date of purchase, but we will not 
charge  that  interest  to  your  Account  if  you  pay  that  purchase  balance  in  full  before  the  end  of 
the deferred interest period and you make monthly minimum payments as required. The deferred 
interest period will end when one of more of the following events occur: 

1.  the promotion period expires; 
2.  your Account becomes more than 180 days past due; or 
3.  your Account is charged off for any reason.

Interest on each purchase transaction will accrue during the deferred interest period at an APR of 
29.99%. That rate will also apply after the deferred interest period.
You  must  make  monthly  minimum  payments  during  the  deferred  interest  period.  The  monthly 
statement we send you will include these monthly minimum payment amounts and will help you 
keep track of your purchase balance(s) and their deferred interest period(s). Paying only the monthly 
minimum payment may not pay off the purchase balance within the deferred interest period. You 
may have to make additional or increased payments during the deferred interest period to avoid 
having to pay all accrued deferred interest. 

HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE DETERMINED 

Your Interest Rate 
We use a Daily Periodic Rate to calculate the interest on your Account. The Daily Periodic Rate is 
the applicable Annual Percentage Rate multiplied by 1/365. The Daily Periodic Rate for your Account 
is 0.0821% and the applicable Annual Percentage Rate is 29.99%. 

When We Charge Interest 
We  charge  interest  on  your  Purchases  from  the  date  you  make  the  Purchase  until  you  pay  the 
Purchase in full. 

How We Calculate Interest 
We  calculate  interest  separately  for  each  balance  segment  on  your  Account.  We  do  this  by 
applying  the  Daily  Periodic  Rate  to  your  average  daily  balance  (including  new  Purchases),  and 
then multiplying the resulting number by the number of days in the billing cycle for each balance 
segment. An average daily balance is calculated for the following balance segments as applicable: 
purchase  balance  segments  and  the  regular  balance  segment.  We  calculate  interest  for  each 
balance segment as follows:

1. To get the average daily balance, we take the beginning balance of the balance segment in
each billing cycle, add any new purchases, debits, and subtract the applicable portion of any
payments and credits. This gives us the daily balance. Credit protection premiums, late fees 
and returned payment fees are not included in the daily balance. 

2. Then, we add all the daily balances for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the

number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance. 

3.  Then, we multiply the daily periodic rate by the average daily balance.
4. Then, we take the resulting number from #3 and multiply it by the number of days in the

billing cycle. This gives us the interest charge for the balance segment.

OTHER FEES

In addition to interest charges, other fees may be applied to your Account, as set forth below. The 
amounts of these fees may change from time to time during the term of your Account.

Late Payment Fee
If we do not receive your monthly minimum payment due by the Closing Date of the Billing Cycle in 
which the Payment Due Date occurs and the amount past due on your Account is more than $9.99 
we will apply a Late Payment Fee to your Account. The Late Payment Fee is $27 if you were not 
charged a Late Payment Fee during any of the prior six billing periods. Otherwise, the Late Payment 
Fee is $38. The Late Payment Fee will never exceed the amount of your most recently required 
monthly minimum payment. 

Returned Payment Fee
If any payment on your Account is returned to us unpaid for any reason, we will apply a Returned 
Payment Fee to your Account. The Returned Payment Fee is $27 if you were not charged a Returned 
Payment Fee during any of the prior six billing periods. Otherwise, the Returned Payment Fee is $38. 
The Returned Payment Fee will never exceed the monthly minimum payment. 

Documentation Fee
You may request a copy of a monthly statement previously sent to you for a Documentation Fee 
of $3 per statement, which will be applied to your Account. Copies of sales tickets or other items 
posted to your Account may be obtained for a Documentation Fee of $10 per sales ticket or other 
item, which will be applied to your Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not impose any 
fee in connection with a good faith assertion of a billing error or other exercise of your Billing Rights 
(see below under “Your Billing Rights - Keep This Notice for Future Use”).

language. If you send such a payment, we may accept it without losing any of our rights under

the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction 
of a disputed amount, must be mailed or delivered to Genesis FS Card Services, P.O. Box 4499, 
Beaverton, OR 97076.

Credit Reports and Information

we deem appropriate to extend you credit or collect amounts owed to us on your Account. We 
(including  any  assignee  of  the  Account  or  amounts  owing  under  the  Account)  may  also  obtain 
information  about  you  from  credit  reporting  agencies  or  others  at  any  time  and  use  it  for  the 
purposes of monitoring your credit performance, managing your Account and considering you for 
new offers and programs.

Default and Collection
Unless prohibited by applicable law, your Account is considered to be in default if (1) you fail to

you give us any false information or signature, (6) you die, or (7) you fail to comply with any portion

Account will constitute default on all accounts you hold with us. 
Subject to any notice of default and right to cure or other restrictions of applicable law, if you are in 
default, we may declare the entire balance due immediately. You agree to pay our reasonable costs 
and attorneys’ fees and expenses related to the collection of your Account to the extent permitted

OTHER PROVISIONS

Ownership and Use of Your Account 
As the Accountholder(s), you are liable for all credit obtained under your Account. If you authorize 
another  person  to  use  your  Account  Number,  you  are  liable  for  any  credit  obtained  on  your 
Account for as long as that person holds or uses the Account Number. Misuse of your Account 
by an authorized person will not be considered unauthorized use. See “Lost Account Numbers and 
Unauthorized Use” above. 

Transactions 
You will retain for statement verification purposes your copy of each Purchase transaction receipt 
from Retailer. 

Refunds for Goods and Services 
Refunds  for  goods  and  services  are  governed  by  Retailer.  Any  refunds  for  goods  or  services 
purchased from Retailer through an extension of credit on your Account will be issued as a credit 
adjustment to your Account. When we are notified by Retailer of any refund amount, we will subtract 
an amount equal to the refund amount from your Account. However, the fixed monthly payment 
amount attributable to the related Purchase transaction amount will continue to be included in your 
monthly minimum payment. If a refund amount results in a credit balance on your Account, we will 
refund your credit balance. 

Transfer and Termination of Your Account 
You may not transfer your Account to any other person. We may assign your Account or amounts 
owing under your Account to any other person at any time and the assignee will take our place under 
the Agreement with respect to all agreements and interests transferred. You must pay the assignee 
and otherwise perform your obligations under the assigned agreements and interests. Either you or 
we may terminate or suspend your credit privileges at any time, with or without cause and with or 
without advance notice. However, you will remain liable for all charges until they are paid in full. You 
may cancel your Account at any time by writing to us at Genesis FS Card Services, P.O. Box 4477, 
Beaverton, OR 97076. If you have a joint Account and want to remove one of the names from the 
Account, we must receive a written request signed by both of the Accountholders on the Account. 
No party is released from the obligation for the balance owing on a joint Account, unless we agree to 
the arrangements in writing. You may have to re-apply for an individual Account when you request 
a change from a joint Account to an individual Account.

Additional Benefits and Services
From time to time, we may offer you benefits and services with your Account. These benefits and 
services may be provided by us or third parties. Unless expressly made a part of this Agreement, 
and except as provided in the Arbitration of Disputes section below, any such benefits and services 
are not a part of this Agreement, and are subject only to the terms and conditions outlined in the 
benefits  or  services  brochure  and  other  official  documents  provided  to  you  with  respect  to  the 
benefits and services. We may adjust, add, or delete benefits or services at any time in accordance 
with the brochures or documents you receive. Except as required by applicable law, we are not liable 
for benefits or services provided by third parties or the actions or omissions of those third parties.
Honoring Your Account
We are not liable for the failure or refusal of Retailer to accept your Account Number. Although you 
may have credit available, we will not be liable for the failure to authorize credit due to operational 
difficulties or mistakes. Transactions made above a certain dollar amount may require authorization 
by us before the transaction can be approved. In addition, we may limit the number and amount of 
daily transactions approved for security reasons.

Change of Address, Employment and Telephone
We will send all written notices and statements to your address as it appears on our records. To 
avoid delays and missed payments that could affect your credit standing, you agree to promptly 
advise us if you change your mailing address, place of employment, or telephone number.

Severability
In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for 
any reason, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Entire Agreement; Interpretation
This  Agreement  (including  the  other  documents  incorporated  herein  by  reference  as  discussed 
above) constitutes the final expression of the credit agreement between you and us relating to your 
Account. The headings used in this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and are not 
intended to define or describe the scope or intent of any portion of the Agreement.

Governing Law 
Except as expressly set forth in the Arbitration Provision of this Agreement, this Agreement 
and  the  interpretation  and  enforcement  thereof  (including  but  not  limited  to  the  exportation 
of  interest  rates)  will  be  governed  by  Federal  law  that  applies  to  us  and,  to  the  extent  not 
preempted  by  Federal  law,  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Missouri,  including  Missouri  Revised 
Statutes (Chapter 408 Legal Tender and Interest) Section 408.145. 

Arbitration of Disputes 
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION CAREFULLY. UNLESS YOU SEND 
US  THE  REJECTION  NOTICE  DESCRIBED  BELOW,  THIS  PROVISION  WILL  APPLY  TO  YOUR 
ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL 
ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY 
SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR 
PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE 
LIMITED. This provision replaces any existing arbitration provision with us and will stay in force 
no matter what happens to your Account, including the closing of your Account. 
Except  as  expressly  provided  below,  you  and  we  must  arbitrate  individually,  by  binding 
arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), any dispute or claim between you, any 
joint Accountholder and/or Authorized User, on the one hand, and us, our affiliates and agents, 

on  the  other  hand,  if  the  dispute  or  claim  arises  out  of  or  is  related  to  (a)  this  Agreement 
(including  without  limitation,  any  dispute  over  the  validity  of  this  Agreement  to  arbitrate 
disputes or of this entire Agreement), or (b) your Account, or (c) any relationship resulting from 
this Agreement, or (d) any insurance or other service related to your Account, or (e) any other 
agreement  related  to  your  Account  (including  prior  agreements)  or  any  such  service,  or  (f) 
breach of this Agreement or any other such agreement, whether based on statute, contract, tort 
or any other legal theory (any “Claim”). However, we will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any 
individual Claims in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains 
an individual case in that court; or (2) any Claim by us that only involves our effort to collect 
money you owe us. However, if you respond to a collection lawsuit by claiming that we engaged 
in wrongdoing, we may require you to arbitrate. 
YOU  AGREE  NOT  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY 
GENERAL ACTION AGAINST US IN COURT OR ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS 
AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS NOT A JOINT ACCOUNTHOLDER 
WITH YOU OR AN AUTHORIZED USER ON YOUR ACCOUNT (AN “UNRELATED ACCOUNTHOLDER”), 
AND YOU AGREE THAT NO UNRELATED ACCOUNTHOLDER MAY BRING ANY CLAIMS AGAINST 
US  ON  YOUR  BEHALF.  CLAIMS  BY  YOU  AND  AN  UNRELATED  ACCOUNTHOLDER  MAY  NOT 
BE  JOINED  IN  A  SINGLE  ARBITRATION.  THE  ARBITRATOR  WILL  NOT  HAVE  THE  POWER  TO 
CONSIDER  SUCH  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL  ACTIONS  OR 
ANY SUCH CLAIMS YOU BRING ON BEHALF OF AN UNRELATED ACCOUNTHOLDER. 
Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any dispute 
regarding  whether  a  particular  controversy  is  subject  to  arbitration  will  be  decided  by  the 
arbitrator(s). If any part of the damages or other relief requested is not expressly stated as a dollar 
amount, the controversy will be a Claim that is subject to arbitration. You and we acknowledge and 
agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any controversy that may arise 
under or relate to this Agreement, your Account, or the services or other agreements described 
above, involve “commerce” as that term is defined and used in the FAA. 
If you or we elect to arbitrate a claim, the electing party must notify the other party in writing. The 
notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit and can be given in papers filed in the lawsuit. 
Otherwise,  your  notice  must  be  sent  to  Genesis  FS  Card  Services,  Attn:  Arbitration  Demand, 
P.O. Box 4477, Beaverton, Oregon 97076, and our notice must be sent to the most recent address 
for you in our files. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association 
(the “AAA”) under its rules in effect at the time arbitration is commenced that are applicable to the 
resolution of consumer disputes (the “Arbitration Rules”). We will tell you how to contact the AAA 
and how to get a copy of the Arbitration Rules without cost if you ask us in writing to do so. The 
Arbitration Rules permit you to request deferral or reduction of the administrative fees of arbitration 
if paying them would cause you a hardship. In addition, if you ask us in writing, we will consider 
your request to pay any or all of your costs of arbitration. 
Each arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney who has been engaged in the private practice of law 
continuously during the ten years immediately preceding the arbitration or a retired judge of a court 
of general or appellate jurisdiction. The arbitration award shall award only such relief as a court 
of competent jurisdiction could properly award under applicable law, including attorneys’ fees if 
allowed by applicable law or agreement, and may award to the prevailing party all pre- and post-
award  expenses  of  arbitration.  All  statutes  of  limitation,  defenses,  and  attorney-client  and  other 
privileges that would apply in a court proceeding will apply in the arbitration. The filing of a demand 
for arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules will be deemed the commencement of an 
action for purposes of any applicable statute of limitations. 
This Agreement does not limit the right of you or us whether before, during or after the pendency of 
any arbitration proceeding, to exercise self-help remedies such as set-off or repossession and sale 
of collateral, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or injunctive or other traditionally equitable 
relief (other than a stay of arbitration) necessary to protect the rights or property of the party seeking 
relief  pending  the  arbitrator’s  determination  of  the  merits  of  the  Claim.  The  taking  of  any  of  the 
actions described in the preceding sentence by either party or the filing of a court action by a party 
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to demand arbitration of any Claim asserted as a 
counterclaim or the like in response to any such action. This Agreement to arbitrate disputes will 
survive the closing of your Account and the termination of your Agreement with us. 
If any provision of this Section regarding arbitration of disputes shall be deemed to be unenforceable, 
the remainder of this Section shall be given full force and effect. However, if the provision precluding 
class, representative or private attorney general Claims in arbitration is deemed unenforceable, then 
this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect.
You may reject this provision, in which case only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or 
claim. Rejection will not affect any other aspect of the Account Agreement. To reject this Provision, 
you must sent us a notice within 60 days after you open your Account or we first provide you with 
a right to reject this Provision. This notice must include your name, address and Account number 
and be mailed to Genesis FS Card Services, Attn: Arbitration Provision, P.O. Box 4477, Beaverton, 
Oregon 97076. This is the only way you can reject this Provision.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS – KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE 

This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement 
If you think there is an error on your statement, please write to us at: Genesis FS Card Services, 
P.O. Box 4499, Beaverton, OR 97076. 
In your letter, give us the following information: 

•  Account information: Your name and Account number.
•  Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
•  Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe

is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. 

You must contact us: 

•  Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
•  At least three (3) business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to

stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. 

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not 
required to investigate any potential errors, and you may have to pay the amount in question. 

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 
When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 

1.  Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will

also tell you if we have already corrected the error. 

2.  Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why

we believe the bill is correct. 

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: 

•  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
•  The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you

interest on that amount. 

•  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder

of your balance. 

•  We can apply any unpaid amount against your Credit Line.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen: 

•  If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other

fees related to that amount. 

•  If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along
with applicable interest and fees. We will then send you a statement of the amount you owe 
and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the
amount we think you owe. 

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 
days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without 
also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we 
reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been 
settled between us. 
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you 
question, even if your bill is correct.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Account Purchases 
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your Account, and 
you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to 
pay the remaining amount due on the Purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:

1.  The Purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current
mailing address, and the Purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of
these are necessary if your Purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or
if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)

2. You must have used your Account for the Purchase. Purchases made with cash advances

from an ATM or with a check that accesses your Account do not qualify.

3.  You must not yet have fully paid for the Purchase.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the Purchase, contact us in 
writing at: Genesis FS Card Services, P.O. Box 4499, Beaverton, OR 97076. 
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we 
finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount 
and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
