332.22 Books, records, and information.

Subdivision 1. Records retention. Every licensee shall keep, and use in the licensee's business, such books, accounts, and records as will enable the commissioner to determine whether such licensee is complying with the provisions of sections 332.12 to 332.29 and of the rules, orders and directives promulgated by the commissioner pursuant to sections 332.12 to 332.29. Every licensee shall preserve such books, accounts and records for at least five years after making the final entry on any transaction recorded therein. Examinations of the books, records and method of operations as shall be conducted under the supervision of the commissioner herein shall be done at the cost of the licensee. The cost shall be assessed as determined pursuant to section 46.131, as amended from time to time.

Subd. 2. Statements to debtors. Each licensee shall maintain and shall make available records and accounts which will enable each debtor to ascertain the amounts paid to the creditors of said debtor. A statement showing amounts received from the debtor, disbursements to each creditor, amounts which any creditor has agreed to accept as payment in full for any debt owed the creditor by the debtor, charges deducted by the licensee and such other information as the commissioner may prescribe shall be furnished by the licensee to the debtor at least once every three months and, in addition, upon any cancellation or termination of the contract. In addition to the statements required by this subdivision, each debtor shall have reasonable access, without cost, to information in the licensee's files applicable to such debtor. Such statements, records and accounts shall otherwise remain confidential except for duly authorized state and government officials, the commissioner, the attorney general, the debtor and the debtor's representative and designees. Each licensee shall prepare and retain in the file of each debtor a written analysis of the debtor's income and expenses to substantiate that the plan of payment is feasible and practical.
