|
| (c) | If an individual assents to an agreement that contemplates that creditors will settle debts for less than the principal amount of the debt, a provider may not request or receive payment of a fee or consideration for the provider's service unless:

| (iii) | the fee or consideration for an individual debt that an individual renegotiates, settles, reduces, or otherwise alters:
| (A) | bears the same proportion to the total fee for renegotiating, settling, reducing, or altering the terms of the entire debt as the individual debt amount at the time the debt was enrolled in the service bears to the entire debt amount at the time the debt was enrolled in the service; or |
| (B) | is a percentage of the amount saved as a result of the renegotiation, settlement, reduction, or alteration, as calculated under Subsection (4)(e), that may not change from one individual debt to another. |
