(1) The creditor shall furnish the customer, without request, a written receipt for each payment made in cash, or any other time the method of payment does not itself provide evidence of payment.

With respect to transactions secured by a first lien mortgage, or equivalent security interest, on real property such statement need specify only the dates and amounts of payments received and charges imposed during the previous 12 months, and the unpaid balance remaining at the time of the statement.

The customer shall be entitled to one such statement at a charge not in excess of $1 once every 12 months. Additional statements shall be furnished if the customer pays the creditor’s reasonable costs of preparing and furnishing the statement.
