3credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
4delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any
5obligation of the member under the credit contract. A
6contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
7agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
8collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
9shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
10    (2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
11any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
12regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
13loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
14conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
15estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
16collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
17regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
18computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
19time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,
20with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
21    For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
22prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
23with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
24charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
25or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
26in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely

 

 

SB1281 Engrossed- 21 -LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b

1made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
2indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which
3interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
4charged, or collected but before the next date on which
5interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,
6charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
7collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
8elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
9the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
10computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
111/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
12rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
13date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
14interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
15lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
16sentence. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1985 shall
17apply only to contracts or loans entered into on or after the
18effective date of this amendatory Act.
19    (3) (Blank). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
20Act, a credit union authorized under this Act to make loans
21secured by an interest or equity in real estate may engage in
22making "reverse mortgage" loans to persons for the purpose of
23making home improvements or repairs, paying insurance premiums
24or paying real estate taxes on the homestead properties of such
25persons. If made, such loans shall be made on such terms and
26conditions as the credit union shall determine and as shall be

 

 

SB1281 Engrossed- 22 -LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b

1consistent with the provisions of this Section and such rules
2and regulations as the Secretary shall promulgate hereunder.
3For purposes of this Section, a "reverse mortgage" loan shall
4be a loan extended on the basis of existing equity in homestead
5property and secured by a mortgage on such property. Such loans
6shall be repaid upon the sale of the property or upon the death
7of the owner or, if the property is in joint tenancy, upon the
8death of the last surviving joint tenant who had such an
9interest in the property at the time the loan was initiated,
10provided, however, that the credit union and its member may by
11mutual agreement, establish other repayment terms. A credit
12union, in making a "reverse mortgage" loan, may add deferred
13interest to principal or otherwise provide for the charging of
14interest or premiums on such deferred interest. "Homestead"
15property, for purposes of this Section, means the domicile and
16contiguous real estate owned and occupied by the mortgagor.
17    (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
18credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
19an interest or equity in real property may engage in making
20revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
21on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
22interests in land trusts.
23    For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
24meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
25    Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
26credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure

 

 

SB1281 Engrossed- 23 -LRB099 08118 MGM 28267 b

1not only the existing indebtedness but also such future
2advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
3the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within
4twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if
5such future advances were made on the date of the execution of
6such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
7advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
8instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness
9outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of such
10mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual
11notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and
12future advances form the time said mortgage or deed of trust is
13filed for record in the office of the recorder of deeds or the
14registrar of titles of the county where the real property
15described therein is located. The total amount of indebtedness
16that may be so secured may increase or decrease from time to
17time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at any one time
18shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which must be
19specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus interest
20thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of taxes,
21special assessments, or insurance on said real property, with
22interest on such disbursements.
23    Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
24priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
25statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
26real property.

2property" include a manufactured home as defined in subdivision
3(53) of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is
4real property as defined in Section 5-35 of the Conveyance and
5Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and
6Severance Act.
7    (5) Compliance with federal or Illinois preemptive laws or
8regulations governing loans made by a credit union chartered
9under this Act shall constitute compliance with this Act.
10    (6) Credit unions may make residential real estate mortgage
11loans on terms and conditions established by the United States
12Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development
13Housing and Community Facilities Program. The portion of any
14loan in excess of the appraised value of the real estate shall
15be allocable only to the guarantee fee required under the
16program.
17    (7) For a renewal, refinancing, or restructuring of an
18existing loan that is secured by an interest or equity in real
19estate, a new appraisal of the collateral shall not be required
20when the transaction involves an existing extension of credit
21at the credit union, no new moneys are advanced other than
22funds necessary to cover reasonable closing costs, and there
23has been no obvious or material change in market conditions or
24physical aspects of the real estate that threatens the adequacy
25of the credit union's real estate collateral protection after
26the transaction.
