Mo. Rev. Stat. § 427.125

Notice of placement of insurance — grace period

Known as the Collateral Protection Act

The act spans §§ 427–427 (24 sections).

Effective: 28 Aug 1998; (L. 1997 H.B. 257, A.L. 1998 S.B. 792)

1. Within thirty calendar days following the placement of collateral protection coverage, the creditor shall mail to the debtor at the last known address of any such person, a notice entitled "Notice of Placement of Insurance" in a form substantially similar to the following:

2. Provided the creditor otherwise complies with subsection 1 of this section, a creditor may extend a grace period for sixty days or more from the date the debtor defaults on providing proof of insurance in which case collateral protection insurance placed at the expiration of the grace period may include a premium charge for such coverage retroactive to the date the debtor defaulted on the obligation to provide proof of insurance. If such a premium charge is included, the creditor shall amend the notice required by subsection 1 of this section to reflect that the creditor will cancel the insurance with no cost to the debtor only if the debtor provides proof of insurance that was effective as of the first day of the grace period.

3. The terms for repayment of the costs of the collateral protection coverage, which shall include interest and any other charges imposed by the creditor in connection with the placement of the collateral protection coverage, shall include one or more of the following:

(1) Full payment within thirty days after the date of the notice of placement of insurance;

(2) A final balloon payment within thirty days after the last scheduled payment required by the credit agreement; or

(3) Full amortization over the term of the credit transaction, the term of the collateral protection insurance policy, or the term for which amortization is used by the creditor.
