§ 37-7-114. Records; maintenance and preservation.
(A)Each credit counseling organization shall maintain and preserve in its licensed offices complete and accurate books, accounts, and records as the department may reasonably require to determine if the credit counseling organization is complying with the provisions of this chapter and rules and regulations adopted in furtherance of the provisions of this chapter. The books, accounts, and records must be maintained apart and separate from another business in which the organization is involved and must be retained for at least three years after the DMP is terminated.
(B)The records must contain all consumer information including, but not limited to, the debt management plan and extensions to it, payments, disbursements, charges, and correspondence.
(C)If the credit counseling organization's records are located outside the State, it shall provide the records to the department within three business days or, at the department's discretion, pay reasonable and necessary expenses for the department to examine them at the place where they are maintained.
