arbitrated on an individual basis and not as a class action, and you expressly waive any right you may have to arbitrate a class action (this is called the "class action waiver"). You may choose the
applicable rules of either the American Arbitration Association (1-800-778-7879), JAMS (800-352-5267) or any other nationally recognized arbitration organization, subject to our approval, and if the arbitration
organization selected by you is unwilling to serve, we shall select the arbitration organization. We waive the right to require you to arbitrate an individual (as opposed to a class) claim if the amount you seek to
recover, including attorneys' fees and expenses, is less than $7,500 or the maximum jurisdiction the venue of a state court providing for the resolution of small claims. You may obtain a copy of the rules of these
organizations by calling the numbers indicated or by visiting their web sites.
The arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected in accordance with the applicable rules. The arbitration award shall be in writing, but without a supporting opinion. The arbitration hearing
shall be conducted in the federal district in which you reside. If you demand arbitration first, you pay one half of any arbitration filing fee. We will pay the rest of the filing fee, and the whole filing fee we demand
arbitration first or if the arbitrator determines that applicable law requires us to do SO or that you are unable to do SO or that we must do SO in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforceable. We will pay the
arbitration costs and fees for the first day of arbitration, a maximum of eight hours. We will also pay any fees and charges that the arbitrator determines that we must pay in order to assure that this
Arbitration Provision is enforceable. The arbitrator shall decide who shall pay any additional costs and fees.
The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except in the event where either there is a "take nothing" award or the award is in excess of $100,000 either party may request a new arbitration under
the rules of the arbitration organization by a three-arbitrator panel.

This Arbitration Provision relates to a contract that evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act U.S.C.
§§ 1 et seq.). If a court should determine that the transaction did not involve interstate commerce, the parties agree that this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by state law.
If any part of this Arbitration Provision other than the Class Action Waiver is found by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforceable. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the
termination of any contractual agreement between you and us, whether by default or repayment in full.
You may elect to opt-out of the arbitration provision only by notifying us in writing at Preferred Credit, Inc., 628 Roosevelt Road, St Cloud, MN 56301 within 30 days from the date in which you signed this
Agreement, and including in the notice your name, address and account number and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration. No one else may sign the rejection notice for
you. Your rejection notice also must not be sent with any other correspondence. Rejection of arbitration will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement. If you reject arbitration, neither you

If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at Preferred Credit, Inc., 628 Roosevelt Road, St. Cloud, MN 56301.
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 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 the 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 limit.
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 the applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date
payment 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 or 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: Preferred Credit, Inc., 628 Roosevelt Road, St. Cloud, MN 56301.
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.
