The billing statement will show the Previous Balance, Payments and Credits, Purchases, Interest Charges, other Fees and Charges, Payment Due Date, New Balance and Minimum Payment Due. Purchases will be identified by the amount and date of the transaction, and an abbreviated merchandise description. A "Billing Cycle" means the days between statement Closing Dates.
6. MONTHLY PAYMENTS. You may at any time pay the entire New Balance shown on your monthly billing statement, but each month you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due no later than the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly billing statement. You may pay your Account by mail, by telephone or online. If paying by mail, send your personal check or money order to us at the address shown on your monthly billing statement.

If your Account balance is greater than $200.00, the minimum monthly payment is 5% of the New Balance. The minimum payment will include any past due amounts or payment shortfalls rounded up to the next highest dollar.
8. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all payments will be applied in the following order: Interest Charges and other charges or fees and purchases in the order made. We will apply payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due to amounts owing on your Account in a manner specified by federal law.
9. CREDIT LIMIT. We may increase or decrease your available credit from time to time. We have the right at any time to limit or terminate the use of your Account without giving you notice in advance, unless we are required to give you notice by law. You agree not to exceed your credit limit(s). If you exceed or attempt to exceed your line of credit, we have the right to refuse further purchases and you may be declared in default. If we approve a purchase that exceeds your credit limit, you must pay us the excess amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Exceeding your credit limit does not constitute an increase to your credit limit. You will be advised of your initial credit line at the time you receive your Card. You agree that we may change your credit line from time to time based on our evaluation of changes in your credit capacity. We will identify any subsequent changes to the "my credit line" on your periodic billing statements.
10. CREDIT BALANCES. We will refund any credit balance in excess of $1 within seven business days from receipt of your written request mailed to us at CHNB, PO Box 34216, Charlotte, NC 28234.
11. GRACE PERIOD. You will have a grace period of at least 28 days from your Closing Date in which to pay your balance in full each month. If the balance on your Account is paid in full within this grace period, no Interest Charge will be added to your Account.
12. LATE PAYMENT FEE. A Late Payment Fee of up to $20.00 will be added to your Account for each billing period in which you fail to make the Minimum Payment Due within 10 days of your Payment Due Date. If the Minimum Monthly Payment (on the payment you failed to make) is less than $20, then your late fee will equal the amount of the Minimum Payment.
13. RETURNED PAYMENT FEE. A Returned Payment Fee of up to $25.00 will be assessed on Accounts whenever a check or other payment device (including any electronic fund transfer) presented on an Account is returned to us unpaid by your bank or financial institution. We may assess this fee the first time any one of your payments is not honored or paid, even if such payment is later paid following resubmission. If your Monthly Minimum Payment (on the returned payment) is less than $25, then your Returned Payment Fee will equal the amount of your Minimum Payment. We do not have to attempt to collect any payment more than once.
14. ELECTRONIC CHECK PROCESSING. When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your Account or to process the payment as a check transaction. Funds may be withdrawn from your Account as soon as the same day and you will not receive the check back from your financial institution.
15. EXPEDITED PAY BY PHONE FEE. You may contact us via telephone to make an expedited payment. Each time you ask a customer service representative to assist you in making this expedited payment from your bank account, we may add a service fee to the balance of your Account if permitted by applicable law. The amount of the fee will be disclosed at the time you request this optional payment service.
16. INTEREST CHARGES. If the payments and credits in any billing period are less than the Previous Balance shown on your monthly statement for that period, Interest Charges will begin to accrue on the first day of that billing period. Partial payments made on balances that were subject to a grace period will be credited as of the first day in the billing cycle. The Interest Charge will be computed by applying the monthly periodic rate (below) to the average daily balance (including current transactions) of your Account for each day in the billing cycle. To get the "Average Daily Balance" of your Account, we take the beginning balance of your Account each day of your billing period (including an unpaid Interest Charges and unpaid late fees) and add any new transactions or charges and subtract any credits or payments (or portions thereof) that are applicable to your Account. This gives us the daily balance then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance." We apply the monthly periodic rate of 1.9083% (corresponding annual percentage rate 22.9%) to the "average daily balance" to determine the Interest Charge.
17. A MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. We will charge you a minimum Interest Charge of $1.00 for any Billing Cycle in which an Interest Charge of less than $1.00 could otherwise be charged.
18. DEFAULT/COLLECTION COSTS. Subject to applicable law, we may, in our discretion, declare your Account to be in default if you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement, including failing to make a required payment when due or exceeding your Account credit limit, or if you file for bankruptcy or are otherwise insolvent, or if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the prospect of payment on your Account has become significantly impaired. If you are in default, (a) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, we may require that you pay the entire balance on your Account immediately, at any time, even though we did not require you to pay the entire balance on any previous occasion when you were in default, and (b) you will pay all collection costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs, if we refer your Account for collection, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. You promise CHNB that you are not planning to file bankruptcy at the time of your application for your Account or when you seek to share your Account.

Your Billing Rights: Keep This Document For Future Use
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: Cedar Hill National Bank, PO Box 34216, Charlotte, NC 28234.
In your letter, give us the following information:
• Account information: Your name and account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
• At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
• We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
• The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
• While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
• We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
• If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
• If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe.
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right to not pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at:
Cedar Hill National Bank
Charlotte, NC 28234
PO Box 34216
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
