What To Do If You Find a Mistake On Your Statement  
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at:  
Customer Service  
PO Box 183258   
Columbus, OH 43218 -3258  
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:  
o Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.  
o 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 po tential 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 th e amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.  
> We can apply any unpaid amount a gainst your credit limit. After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:  
o 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.  
o 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 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. I f 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 o rganizations 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 Credit Card Purchases  
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have 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 necessary if your purch ase 
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 credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit  card 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:  
Customer Service  
PO Box 183258  
Columbus, OH 43218 -3258  
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we w ill 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.

PERIODIC INTEREST CHARGE CALCULATION METHODS  
The period Interest Charge Calculation Method applicable to your account for Cash Advances and Purchases of goods and services that you obtain through the use of your Card is specified in Number 1 above and 
explained below:  
 
Cash Advance Plans:  Average Dai ly Balance (including current transactions).  The Interest Charge on cash advances begins from the date you obtained the cash advance, or the first day of the billing  cycle in which 
it is posted to your account, whichever is later. There is no grace period provided for current cycle transactions.  The Interest Charges for a billing cycle are computed by dividing the Annual Percentage R ate (APR) 
by 12 and applying that  Periodic Rate to the �average daily balance� of cash advances.  To get the average daily bala nce, we take the beginning  cash balance of your account each day, add any new cash advances, and 
subtract any payments, credits, non -accruing fees, and unpaid Interest Charges. This gives us the daily balance  of cash advances . Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the 
number of days in the billing cycle.  This gives us the average daily balance of cash advances.  
Purchase Plans : Average Daily Balance (including current transactions). To avoid incurring an additional Interest Charge on the balance of purchases reflected on your monthly statement and, on any 
new purchases appearing on your next monthly statement, you mus t pay the New Balance shown on your monthly statement  on or before t he Payment  Due Date. The grace period for the New Balance of purchases 
extends to the  Payment Due Date. The Interest Charges for a billing cycle are computed by dividing the Annual Percentage R ate (APR) by 12 and applying that  Periodic Rate to the  
average  daily balance� of purchases . To get the average daily balance, we take the beginning  purchase balance of your account each day, add any new purchases, and subtract any payments, credits, non -accruing fees, 
and unpaid Interest  Charges. This gives us the da ily balance  of purchases . Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle.  This gives us the 
average daily balance of purchases.

the tenth of each month, or the last publishing date precedin g the tenth if the tenth falls on a weekend or federal holiday.  The Prime Rate will be updated on the 1st day of the following month, to which 
we add a margin.  The rate change will be in effect the day after your statement period ends that month.  Any in crease in the APR will result in an increase in the amount of the inter est you will pay,

Cardholder�s account statement with Issuer.  
G. Issuer will send to Cardholder, at monthly intervals determined by Issuer, a statement reflecting for the prior monthly period all Card and Related Card transactions. Such statemen t shall be deemed correct 
and accepted by Cardholder and all holders of Related Cards unless Issuer is notified to the contrary in writing within 60 days of mailing of such statement. Cardholder will pay such statement by remitting to

other loans from Issuer, or takes out other loans with Issuer in the future, collateral securing those loans will also secure the Cardholder�s obligations under this agreement. However, u nless the Cardholder
