2.59.2048    GUARANTEED ASSET PROTECTION (GAP) FEATURE

(1)  A GAP waiver or agreement is a type of debt cancellation contract.  A debt cancellation contract with a GAP feature offered in connection with an extension of credit for the purchase of titled personal property for personal, family, or household use is a single product.  A mutual association offering a debt cancellation contract with a GAP feature may do so through nonexclusive, unaffiliated agents such as automobile dealers.  The fee arrangement between a mutual association and a nonexclusive, unaffiliated agent through which the debt cancellation product is offered does not create a separate contract that violates the anti-tying provision of ARM 2.59.2043(1)(a).
