Definitions
1. Consumer receivables
For purposes of this questionnaire, a finance company is
defined as a company (excluding credit unions, savings
banks, investment banks, commercial banks, cooperative
banks, industrial loan corporations, and savings and loan
associations) in which the largest portion of the company’s
assets are in one or more of the following kinds of
receivables:

A. Motor vehicle financing: Credit arising from retail
sales of passenger cars and other vehicles such as minivans,
vans, sports-utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and similar light
trucks for personal use. Exclude fleet sales, personal cash
loans secured by automobiles already paid for, loans to
finance the purchase of commercial vehicles and farm
equipment, and lease financing.

goods, such as general merchandise, apparel, furniture and
household appliances, and/or from outlays for home
improvement loans not secured by real estate. Unsecured

insurance policies; or personal loans secured by collateral,
such as insurance policies or autos already paid for, etc.;

B. Revolving credit: Retail credit that is extended on a
credit-line basis and that arises from the sale of consumer
goods other than passenger cars and mobile homes. A single

they do not cause the outstanding balance of the account to
exceed a prearranged credit limit.

and other vehicles that is not extended under a revolving
credit line. Paper arising from retail sales of mobile homes,
