(a) After a consumer has been in default for 10 days for failure to make a required payment in a covered transaction payable in installments, a mortgage company may give the consumer the notice described in this section.
(1) A mortgage company provides notice to the consumer under this section when the mortgage company delivers the notice to the consumer or delivers or mails the notice to the consumer's residence.
(2) The notice shall be in writing and shall conspicuously state:
(A) The name, address and telephone number of the mortgage company to which payment is to be made;
(B) a brief description of the covered transaction;
(C) the consumer's right to cure the default;
(D) the amount of payment and date by which payment must be made to cure the default; and
(E) the consumer's possible liability for the reasonable costs of collection including, but not limited to, court costs, either attorney fees or collection agency fees, and any other information required by the commissioner as set forth by rules and regulations or by administrative interpretation.
(b) With respect to a covered transaction payable in installments, after a default consisting only of the consumer's failure to make a required payment, a mortgage company may neither accelerate maturity of the unpaid balance of the obligation or take possession of collateral as a result of such default until 20 days after a notice of the consumer's right to cure is given. Within 20 days after the notice is given, the consumer may cure all defaults resulting from a failure to make the required payment by tendering the amount of all unpaid sums due at the time of the tender, without acceleration, plus any unpaid late fees. Such cure restores the consumer to the consumer's rights under the agreement as though the defaults had not occurred.
(c) With respect to defaults on the same obligation after a mortgage company has once given a notice of the consumer's right to cure, this section shall confer on the consumer no right to cure and imposes no limitation on the mortgage company's right to proceed against the consumer or the collateral.
(d) Unless the consumer voluntarily surrenders the collateral to the mortgage company, the mortgage company may take possession of the collateral without judicial process only if possession can be taken without entry into a dwelling and without the use of force or other breach of the peace.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a consumer from voluntarily surrendering the collateral of the covered transaction and shall not prohibit the mortgage company from thereafter enforcing the mortgage company's security interest in the collateral at any time after surrender.
(f) This section shall be a part of and supplemental to the Kansas mortgage business act.
