hundred dollars ($100) per annum of the principal amount of the loan not exceeding

weekly or monthly installment payments. The amount of interest computed as
provided in KRS 286.7-420 to 286.7-600 may be charged or received in advance or
may be added to the principal amount of the loan. The loans shall be repayable in
substantially equal installments over a period not exceeding five (5) years and
thirty-two (32) days, and the principal amount of the loan, (excluding charges) shall
not exceed seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500).
(2) Sell or negotiate bonds, notes and certificates of investment for the payment of
money at any time, either fixed or uncertain, and receive payments therefor in
installments or otherwise; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be
construed to create any liability on demand. No certificate holder making loans
under KRS 286.7-420 to 286.7-600 shall directly or indirectly advertise for or
accept deposits, demand or otherwise, except an industrial loan company organized
under KRS 286.7-420 to 286.7-600 may advertise the sale of certificates of
investment as authorized under KRS 286.7-420 to 286.7-600. Certificates of
investment and any advertisement for the sale of certificates of investment shall
clearly state in bold type on the certificate or in the advertisement that: "THIS
CERTIFICATE OF INVESTMENT IS NOT INSURED BY ANY STATE OR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY."
(3) Charge for a loan made in accordance with this section one dollar ($1) for each fifty
dollars ($50) or fraction thereof loaned for expenses, including any examination or
investigation of the character and circumstances of the borrower, co-maker or
surety, and the drawing and taking acknowledgment of necessary papers or other
expenses incurred in making the loan. This charge shall be permitted only on the
first two thousand dollars ($2,000) loaned. No charge shall be collected unless a
loan has been made as a result of an examination or investigation.
(4) An industrial loan company organized under KRS 286.7-420 to 286.7-600 in
addition to its powers heretofore granted shall be authorized to charge interest on
loans or extensions of credit in the same manner and at the same rate as is permitted
by KRS 286.3-215 for banks or trust companies or combined banks and trust
companies, and provided further that the principal amount of the loan or extension
of credit exclusive of interest or other charges shall not exceed ten thousand dollars
($10,000).
(5) In addition to the powers granted in this section, an industrial loan company
organized under this subtitle may offer revolving credit plans in a manner and
amount and at the same rate as permitted by KRS 286.3-710 to 286.3-770 for banks
and trust companies or combined banks and trust companies. This revolving credit
plan may be accessed by a credit card, check, or other device as the plan provides.
All revolving credit plans offered by industrial loan companies under this section
shall be secured by either a first or second mortgage on residential property. In
connection with the revolving credit plans, an industrial loan company may charge
and collect from a borrower:
(a) A bad check charge of fifteen dollars ($15) for the return or dishonor of a
check or other instrument tendered as payment; and
(b) An over-the-limit fee of twenty dollars ($20) whenever a borrower exceeds
the credit limit established under the plan.
