Section 3304 - Overdue instrument
§ 3304. Overdue instrument.
(a) Instrument payable on demand.--An instrument payable on
demand becomes overdue at the earliest of the following times:
(1) on the day after the day demand for payment is duly
made;
(2) if the instrument is a check, 90 days after its
date; or
(3) if the instrument is not a check, when the
instrument has been outstanding for a period of time after
its date which is unreasonably long under the circumstances
of the particular case in light of the nature of the
instrument and usage of the trade.
(b) Instrument payable at a definite time.--With respect to
an instrument payable at a definite time, the following rules
apply:
(1) If the principal is payable in installments and a
due date has not been accelerated, the instrument becomes
overdue upon default under the instrument for nonpayment of
an installment, and the instrument remains overdue until the
default is cured.
(2) If the principal is not payable in installments and
the due date has not been accelerated, the instrument becomes
overdue on the day after the due date.
(3) If a due date with respect to principal has been
accelerated, the instrument becomes overdue on the day after
the accelerated due date.
(c) Instrument not overdue if default in payment of
interest.--Unless the due date of principal has been
accelerated, an instrument does not become overdue if there is
default in payment of interest but no default in payment of
principal.
