17:16C-31. Selection of insurer acceptable to retail seller; inclusion of premium in contract; cancellation of insurance by holder after repossession and sale
The retail buyer shall have the privilege of supplying insurance on the goods through an agent or broker of his own selection and selecting an insurance company acceptable to the retail seller; provided, however, the inclusion of the premium for such insurance in the retail installment contract, when the retail buyer selects the company, agent or broker, shall be optional with the retail seller. The amount, if any, included for such insurance shall not exceed the premiums chargeable in accordance with the applicable rates filed with the commissioner for such insurance. The retail seller or holder, if the premium for dual insurance on the goods is included in a retail installment contract, shall within 25 days after the execution of the retail installment contract send or cause to be sent to the retail buyer a policy or policies or certificate of insurance, written by an insurance company authorized to do business in this State, clearly setting forth the amount of the premium, the kind or kinds of insurance and the scope of the coverage and all the terms, exceptions, limitations, restrictions and conditions of the contract or contracts of insurance. The holder of a retail installment contract shall, if the goods described therein have been repossessed and sold, cancel any insurance on the goods and any other insurance or other benefits then in force and shall credit the amount of the return premium thereon to the unpaid balance outstanding on the retail installment contract.
