1. Prohibited use of information. If a lender or creditor requires a purchaser or borrower to provide insurance information in connection with the extension of credit, an insurance agent or broker affiliated with that lender or creditor may not later use the information obtained to solicit or offer insurance directly to the purchaser or borrower. “Insurance information” means copies of insurance policies, binders, rates and expiration dates not otherwise in the possession of the agent or broker. “Affiliate” has the same meaning as set forth in section 1443?A, subsection 1, paragraph A with respect to financial institutions and credit unions or in Title 9?A, section 4?403 with respect to supervised lenders.
