§ 5-2-205. Finance charge on refinancing.

(1) With respect to a consumer credit transaction, the creditor may by agreement with the consumer refinance the unpaid balance and may contract for and receive a finance charge based on the amount financed resulting from the refinancing at a rate not exceeding that permitted by the provisions on finance charges. For the purpose of determining the finance charge permitted, the amount financed resulting from the refinancing comprises the following:

(a) If the transaction was not precomputed, the total of the unpaid balance and the accrued charges on the date of the refinancing, or, if the transaction was precomputed, the amount that the consumer would have been required to pay upon prepayment pursuant to the provisions on rebate upon prepayment contained in section 5-2-211 on the date of refinancing; except that, for the purpose of computing this amount, no minimum charge described in section 5-2-201 shall be allowed; and

(b) Appropriate additional charges described in section 5-2-202, payment of which is deferred.
