Maryland Insurance Section 23-307

Article - Insurance

§ 23-307.

      (a)      A premium finance agreement may require the insured to pay a cancellation charge if a default in paying an installment results in the cancellation of an insurance contract listed in the premium finance agreement.

      (b)      A cancellation charge shall be:

            (1)      with respect to private passenger automobile or personal fire or liability insurance, equal to the difference between a delinquency and collection charge imposed under § 23-306 of this subtitle with respect to the installment in default and $15; and

            (2)      with respect to commercial automobile, fire, or liability insurance, 5% of the installment, not to exceed an amount equal to the difference between a delinquency and collection charge imposed under § 23-306 of this subtitle with respect to the installment in default and $100.

      (c)      If a notice of cancellation is withdrawn before its effective date and the insurance coverage is reinstated, the premium finance agreement may require the insured to pay a reinstatement charge in the same amount as the cancellation charge that would have been paid if the cancellation had actually taken effect.
