(1)With respect to a closed-end loan, a delinquency charge may not be assessed on a payment that is a payment in full for the scheduled installment period solely because of an unpaid delinquency charge relating to an earlier installment.

(i)the creditor shall calculate the unpaid balance of the debt in accordance with the provisions governing rebate on prepayment under Section 70C-3-101 as of the due date of the first delinquent installment; and
