Historical Examples
The following tables show how the annual percentage rate and the minimum payments for a s ingle $10,000.00 credit advance would have changed based on changes in the index over the last 15 years . The index values are from the first business day of October. While only one payment amount per year is shown, payments would have varied during each year. The table assumes that no additional credit advances were taken, that only the minimum payment was made, and that the rate remained constant during each year. It does not necessarily indicate how the index or your payments would change in the future.

This is an example of a plan available to borrowers with loan to value ratios of over 89.9% or less. This chart shows the October index values for the last 15 years, and
