54-1-8. Open account--Notice of interest rate increase. Prior to increasing interest rates on open accounts, a creditor shall notify all customers having open accounts thirty days in advance of the increase. The notification shall clearly state the new interest rate, the effective date of the new interest rate and that the customer either may continue to pay the account in installments at the existing rate without further use of the account after the effective date of the new rate, or the customer may continue to use the account after the effective date of the rate increase with the unpaid outstanding balance on that date and all subsequent purchases or use of the account subject to the increased rate. Use of the account after the effective date of the interest rate increase is deemed to be an acceptance of the increased rate by the customer.
