424.203 Conditions applying to insurance to be provided by creditor.
(1) When the parties agree that consumer credit insurance shall be provided, at the time the indebtedness is incurred there shall be delivered to the customer the individual policy, a group certificate of insurance, a copy of the application for such insurance or a notice of proposed insurance.
(2) The evidence of insurance provided pursuant to sub. (1) shall set forth the name and home office address of the insurer, the name or names of the customers, the premium or amount of payment by the customer, if any, separately for credit life insurance and credit accident and sickness insurance, the amount, term and a brief description of the coverage provided, including all exclusions and exceptions.
(3) Within 30 days of the date upon which the indebtedness is incurred, the insurer shall cause the individual policy or group certificate of insurance to be delivered to the customer if it is not delivered at the time the indebtedness is incurred.
(4) Within 10 days from the date the indebtedness is incurred, the customer shall be permitted to return the policy, certificate of insurance or the notice of proposed insurance to the creditor and to receive a refund of any premium paid for the insurance if the customer is not satisfied with the insurance for any reason.
