RS 969.19 - Right to prepay

Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the consumer's contract, the consumer may prepay in full the unpaid balance at any time. An extender of credit may within its discretion accept the amount tendered by the consumer to be a prepayment in full of a simple interest transaction if the amount tendered is within one dollar, or to the extent provided by federal law, more or less, of the amount actually owed. Under such circumstances, the extender of credit may retain any excess amount tendered by the consumer provided that the amount tendered does not exceed the amount actually owed by more than one dollar, or to the extent provided by federal law.
