§ 10-10-110. Premiums and refunds.

(1) (a) If an insurer has elected to file pursuant to section 10-10-109 (2.5)(b), the insurer may revise its schedules of premium rates from time to time and shall file such revised schedules with the commissioner. No insurer shall issue any credit insurance policy for which the premium rate exceeds that determined by the schedules of such insurer as then on file with the commissioner.

(b) If an insurer has elected to file pursuant to section 10-10-109 (2.5)(c), the insurer may file with the commissioner and use any premium rate or schedule of premium rates that is less than or equal to the premium rate established by the commissioner. Insurers shall not use premium rates higher than the premium rates established by the commissioner.

(2) (a) Upon prepayment in full of the indebtedness, all credit insurance issued on such indebtedness shall terminate.

(b) An insurer, upon receiving notice pursuant to section 5-4-108 (2), C.R.S., that a refund or credit of unearned premiums on insurance issued under this article is required by section 5-4-108 (1), C.R.S., shall make the appropriate refund or credit to the person entitled thereto within thirty days of receipt of such notice. The formula to be used in computing the refund or credit shall be filed with and approved by the commissioner. No refund of less than one dollar need be made.

(3) If a creditor requires a debtor to make any payment for credit insurance and an individual policy or group certificate of insurance is not issued, the creditor shall immediately give written notice to such debtor and shall promptly make an appropriate credit to the account.

(4) The amount charged to a debtor for any credit insurance shall not exceed the premiums charged by the insurer, as computed at the time the charge to the debtor is determined.

(5) Nothing in this article shall be construed to authorize any payments for insurance now prohibited under any statute, or rule thereunder, governing credit transactions.
