The HB 1332 was duly executed by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels on March 24, 2010. Under the new Act, credit regulation firms will be subject to the same demands and limitations as credit reform, credit amendment and credit consolidating firms. Additionally, in order to receive and file a copy of the $25,000 guarantee with the U.S. Attorney General, the Act stipulates that before entering into a sale or purchase arrangement or receipt of funds, creditors must provide the purchaser with the following information in writing:

An exhaustive and thorough explanation of the service to be provided to the purchaser and the overall costs of the service; a declaration describing the purchaser's right to take action against the guarantee or the guarantee bank deposit accounts; the name and physical location of the guarantee issuing body and the bank number of the guarantee bank deposit accounts; a full and thorough explanation of the purchaser's right to verify any consumer registration record of the purchaser under the Fair Credit reporting Act (15 U.S.C.).
