Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 205 ILCS 670/15a

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
     Voluntary credit life insurance, credit accident and health insurance, involuntary unemployment insurance, credit property insurance, or other credit insurance policies approved or permitted by the Director of Insurance and any charge therefor which is deducted from the loan or paid by the obligor shall comply with the Illinois Insurance Code and all lawful requirements of the Director of Insurance related thereto. When there are 2 or more obligors on the loan contract, only one charge for credit life insurance and credit accident and health insurance may be made and only one of the obligors need be required to be insured, except that joint credit insurance may cover two obligors. Insurance obtained from, by or through a licensee shall be in effect when the loan is transacted. The purchase of such insurance through the licensee or from an agent, broker or insurer specified by the licensee shall not be a condition precedent to the granting of the loan.
