We must hear from your no later than 60 days from the first statement on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your rights. In your letter, give us the following information:
- Your name and account number
- The dollar amount of the suspected error
- Describe and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error. If you need more information describe the item you are unsure about.
You do not have to pay any amount in question while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay parts of your outstanding balance that are not in question. While we investigate your question, we cannot report you as delinquent or take any action to collect the amount you question.
IN CASE OF ERRORS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS
Write us at the address shown on the front of the statement or telephone us at the telephone number shown in that area as soon as you can if you think your statement or automated teller machine receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a receipt or a transfer on the accompanying statement.

- Tell us your name and account number
- Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe there is an error or why you need more information
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
We will investigate your complaint and will promptly, usually within 10 "business days," correct the error or send you a written explanation of our reasons for believing no error occurred.
