NOTICE: See following notice for important information regarding
your right to dispute billing errors.

BILLING RIGHTS SUMMARY

What to do if you think you find a mistake on your statement: If
you think your bill is wrong, if there is an error on your statement or
if you need more information about a transaction on your bill write
us at Rogers & Hollands P.O. Box 879 Matteson, IL 60443.  We
must hear from you no later than 60 days after you received the
first bill on which the error or problem appeared.  You must notify us
of any potential mistakes or error in writing.  You can telephone us,
but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors
and you may have to pay the amount in question.  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, describe the
error and explain, if you can, what you believe is wrong and why 
you believe it is an error.  If you need information, describe the 
items you are unsure about.

While we are investigating whether or not there has been an error, the
following are true:
■ 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.  But, if we deter-
mine that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay the amount 
in question or any interest or other fees related to 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. 

Your rights if you are dissatisfied with your credit     card pur-
chases: If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you
purchased with your credit card 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 nec-
essary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed
to you, or if we own or operate the merchant who sold you the
goods or services.  If such is the case, all purchases will be cov-
ered, regardless of the amount or location of the purchase).

2.You must have used your credit card for the purchase.
3.You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the above criteria are met and you are still dissatisfied with the
purchase, contact us in writing at: Rogers & Hollands, PO Box 879
Matteson, IL 60443.  While we investigate, the same rules apply to the
disputed amount as discussed above.  After we finish our investiga-
tion, 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.

PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS: You may, at any time, pay your total in-
debtedness (the New Balance) or any part of it, but you must pay at
least the Minimum Payment Due as of the Payment Due Date shown
on the front of your statement.  Payments shall be made by check or
money order and shall reference your account number.  Payments
may be made by mailing your payment to the address provided for
payments on the front of this statement, via our website or by mak-
ing a payment at any Rogers & Hollands store location. Payments
must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the Payment Due Date shown on
the front of this statement.  
Please be advised, if any payment received by Rogers & Hollands does
not conform to the requirements listed above, we have the right to take
up to five days from receipt of such payment to credit it to your account.

CREDIT BALANCES: Any credit balance on your account (indicated by
a “-“ in the New Balance box) is money we owe you.  You can make
charges against this amount, or you may obtain a refund of the full
amount by writing to the address indicated on the front of this state-
ment.  If we do not receive a written request from you to refund the
credit balance, any remaining credit balance over $1.00 on your ac-
count will be refunded 90 days after the end of the billing period in which
the credit balance first appears.

BALANCE COMPUTATION METHOD: The Balance Subject to Inter-
est Rate was determined by the Average Daily Balance Method (ex-
cluding current transactions).  Please call 1-800-326-4116 if you would
like a detailed explanation of this method and how the resulting inter-
est charges were determined.

the adverse obligation when the obligation to the creditor is incurred.

PROMISE TO PAY: In consideration of our granting credit on this Account,
you promise to pay us the purchase price of purchases charged to this Ac-
count by you or anyone you authorize to use your Account. If the Account
is a joint Account, the applicant and joint applicant each agree to pay and
are jointly and individually responsible for all amounts charged on the Ac-
count. When there is a balance due on your monthly billing statement (the
“Statement”), you agree to pay, in time for receipt by us within twenty-six
(26) days after the billing date (the “Due Date” shown on the Statement),
either (a) the total balance due or (b) at least the Minimum Monthly Pay-
ment shown on the Statement.

**A minimum finance charge will not be assessed in Wisconsin.

BALANCE SUBJECT TO FINANCE CHARGE: The balance subject to 
FINANCE CHARGE in any given billing period is the average daily balance
which is arrived at by adding the daily balances in the Account during the
billing period. The daily balances are determined by taking the beginning
balance each day during the billing period and subtracting any payments

and credits entered on that day. New purchases do not begin to accrue a 
FINANCE CHARGE until the first day of the billing period following the pur-
chase  date,  and  no  FINANCE  CHARGE will  be  assessed  on  such 
purchases if they are paid within twenty-six (26) days of the first billing date
following the date of purchase. Late Payment Fees are not included in the
balance subject to FINANCE CHARGE. 

EXPEDITED PAYMENT FEE: A charge of $5.00 will be assessed for pay-
ments made over the phone with one of our service representatives using
a checking account.  A charge of $10.00 will be assessed for payments
made over the phone with one of our service representatives using a debit
or credit card.  This charge will not be assessed against residents of Ken-
tucky or Tennessee. 

MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT: You agree to pay a Minimum Monthly
Payment  each  time  we  send  you  a  Statement  plus  any  past  due
amount(s). The Minimum Monthly Payment will be 3.5% (rounded to the
next highest dollar) of the outstanding “New Balance” on the Account as
shown on the statement, or $30.00 whichever amount is greater. You may
at any time pay your “New Balance”, but you must pay at least the Mini-
mum Monthly Payment. Payment on your Account must be made by cash,
check or money order in U.S. currency. Any cash, check or money order
in a denomination of foreign (not U.S.) currency will nor be credited until 
converted into U.S. funds, and you agree to pay any amount remaining
due and owing after conversion to U.S. funds. 

SECURITY INTEREST: We retain a purchase money security interest in
all merchandise purchased on your Account until the account is paid in
full. If you do not make your Minimum Monthly Payment on time, we may
repossess only the merchandise which has not been paid in full to the 
extent permitted by law. We will apply and allocate payments and credits
among features and to Charges and transactions on your Account in any
order and manner determined by us in our sole discretion for servicing,
administrative, systems or other business reasons. You agree that we have
the unconditional right to exercise this discretion. 

CHANGES  IN  THIS AGREEMENT: We  may  change  any  term  of  this
Agreement, including the rate of FINANCE CHARGE, by furnishing you
notice of the change to the extent required by law. If permitted by applica-
ble law, any new terms may at our option be applied to any balance exist-
ing in the Account at the time of change, as well as to any subsequent 
transactions. 

FAILURE TO MAKE MINIMUM PAYMENT: If you do not make at least the
Minimum Monthly Payment when due, we may, subject to any notice of 
default  and  right  to  cure  default  required  by  state  law,  require  you  to 
immediately pay the full remaining balance (except in Wisconsin, where
you will not be in default until you fail to make a Minimum Monthly Payment
on two (2) occasions within a 12-month period). You agree to pay court
costs and reasonable attorneysʼ fees to the extent permitted by your state
law  if  your Account  is  sent  for  collection  to  an  attorney  who  is  not  our
salaried employee (except no attorneysʼ fees will be imposed in Wisconsin).
