09900SB1281sam001- 20 -LRB099 08118 MGM 34671 a

1interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the
2board of directors of each individual credit union in
3accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be
4less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in
5this Section. A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity,
6in whole or in part, without penalty. The credit contract may
7provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit
8union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable
9attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the
10credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
11delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any
12obligation of the member under the credit contract. A
13contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
14agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
15collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
16shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
17    (2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
18any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
19regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
20loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
21conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
22estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
23collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
24regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
25computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
26time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,

 

 

09900SB1281sam001- 21 -LRB099 08118 MGM 34671 a

1with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
2    For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
3prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
4with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
5charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
6or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
7in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely
8made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
9indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which
10interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
11charged, or collected but before the next date on which
12interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,
13charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
14collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
15elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
16the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
17computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
181/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
19rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
20date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
21interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
22lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
23sentence. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall
24apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the
25effective date of this amendatory Act.
26    (3) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of this

1Act, a credit union authorized under this Act to make loans
2secured by an interest or equity in real estate may engage in
3making "reverse mortgage" loans to persons for the purpose of
4making home improvements or repairs, paying insurance premiums
5or paying real estate taxes on the homestead properties of such
6persons. If made, such loans shall be made on such terms and
7conditions as the credit union shall determine and as shall be
8consistent with the provisions of this Section and such rules
9and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate hereunder.
10For purposes of this Section, a "reverse mortgage" loan shall
11be a loan extended on the basis of existing equity in homestead
12property and secured by a mortgage on such property. Such loans
13shall be repaid upon the sale of the property or upon the death
14of the owner or, if the property is in joint tenancy, upon the
15death of the last surviving joint tenant who had such an
16interest in the property at the time the loan was initiated,
17provided, however, that the credit union and its member may by
18mutual agreement, establish other repayment terms. A credit
19union, in making a "reverse mortgage" loan, may add deferred
20interest to principal or otherwise provide for the charging of
21interest or premiums on such deferred interest. "Homestead"
22property, for purposes of this Section, means the domicile and
23contiguous real estate owned and occupied by the mortgagor.
24    (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
25credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
26an interest or equity in real property may engage in making

 

 

09900SB1281sam001- 23 -LRB099 08118 MGM 34671 a

1revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
2on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
3interests in land trusts.
4    For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
5meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
6    Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
7credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
8not only the existing indebtedness but also such future
9advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
10the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within
11twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if
12such future advances were made on the date of the execution of
13such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
14advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
15instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness
16outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of such
17mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual
18notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and
19future advances form the time said mortgage or deed of trust is
20filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds or the
21registrar of titles of the county where the real property
22described therein is located. The total amount of indebtedness
23that may be so secured may increase or decrease from time to
24time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time
25shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which must be
26specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus interest

1thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes,
2special assessments, or insurance on said real property, with
3interest on such disbursements.
4    Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
5priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
6statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
7real property.
8    (4-5) For purposes of this Section, "real estate" and "real
9property" include a manufactured home as defined in subdivision
10(53) of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is
11real property as defined in Section 5-35 of the Conveyance and
12Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and
13Severance Act.
14    (5) Compliance with federal or Illinois preemptive laws or
15regulations governing loans made by a credit union chartered
16under this Act shall constitute compliance with this Act.
17    (6) Credit unions may make residential real estate mortgage
18loans on terms and conditions established by the United States
19Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development
20Housing and Community Facilities Program. The portion of any
21loan in excess of the appraised value of the real estate shall
22be allocable only to the guarantee fee required under the
23program.
24    (7) For a renewal, refinancing, or restructuring of an
25existing loan that is secured by an interest or equity in real
26estate, a new appraisal of the collateral shall not be required
