Sec. 353.016.  COMPUTATION OF TIME PRICE DIFFERENTIAL USING TRUE DAILY EARNINGS METHOD.  Under the true daily earnings method, the earned time price differential is computed by multiplying the daily rate of the time price differential by the number of days the actual unpaid principal balance is outstanding.  Under this method:
(1)  a payment is credited at the time received, with a payment received before the scheduled installment date resulting in a greater reduction in the unpaid principal balance than otherwise scheduled, and a payment received after the scheduled installment date resulting in less of a reduction in the unpaid principal balance than otherwise scheduled;
(2)  a partial payment is applied first to time price differential with any remainder applied to the unpaid principal balance; and
(3)  accrued but unpaid time price differential is not:
(A)  added to the unpaid principal balance; or
(B)  compounded.
