1 outstanding during any installment period on any installment
2 payday loan over the term of the loan. Except for installment
3 payday loans and except as provided in Section 2-25, this
4 charge is considered fully earned as of the date on which the

6 earned on an installment payday loan, the disclosed annual

8 outstanding from time to time until the loan is paid in full,
9 or until the maturity date, which ever occurs first. No finance

11     When any loan contract is paid in full, the licensee shall
12 refund any unearned finance charge. The unearned finance charge
13 that is refunded shall be calculated based on a method that is
14 at least as favorable to the consumer as the actuarial method,
15 as defined by the federal Truth in Lending Act. The sum of the
16 digits or rule of 78ths method of calculating prepaid interest
17 refunds is prohibited.".
