Title 5 - Banking
Chapter 22. LICENSED LENDERS
Subchapter II. Revolving Credit
§ 2222. Delinquent installments.

(a) If the agreement governing a revolving credit plan so provides, a licensee may impose, as interest, a late or delinquency charge upon any outstanding unpaid installment payments or portions thereof under the plan which are in default; provided, however, that no more than 1 such late or delinquency charge may be imposed in respect of any single such installment payment or portion thereof regardless of the period during which it remains in default; and provided further, however, that for the purpose only of the preceding provision all payments by the borrower shall be deemed to be applied to satisfaction of installment payments in the order in which they become due. Nothing contained in this section shall limit, restrict or otherwise affect the right of a licensee under and pursuant to §§ 2216 and 2217 of this title to change the periodic percentage rate or rates of interest applicable to the revolving credit plan between the licensee and a borrower upon the occurrence of a delinquency or default or other failure of the borrower to perform in accordance with the terms of the plan.

(b) No charges assessed by a licensee in accordance with this section shall be deemed void as a penalty or otherwise unenforceable under any statute or the common law.
