2. Credia's filing for civil rehabilitation proceedings

On September 14, 2007, CREDIA CO., LTD. ("Credia") -- an originator of consumer finance loan ABS - filed for civil rehabilitation proceedings. Currently, the issue of claims for overpaid interest is likely to be handled in the rehabilitation process. How the claims for overpaid interest will be treated under the proceedings will command significant public attention, as this issue is substantially pressuring the financial strength of the consumer finance companies.

In addition, we need to pay attention to the proactive movements taken by the solicitor associations.

a) Movements in Shizuoka Prefecture

For the purpose of providing all eligible borrowers who have overpaid interest claims the opportunity to take part in the civil rehabilitation proceedings, the Solicitor Association of Shizuoka Prefecture ("Shizuoka Association") is requesting the Tokyo District Court the following:

- Re-calculation of principal for all loan obligors -- including those with outstanding debts, as well as those who have already paid out all their debts -- using the maximum interest rate under the Interest Rate Restriction Law, in order to assure opportunities for all loan obligors to take part in the civil rehabilitation proceedings.

- Sending notification pursuant to Paragraph 2, Article 24 of the Money Lending Business Law, to obligors of loans that are not currently held by Credia (i.e., borrowers of loans transferred to a trust or special purpose vehicles for the purpose of securitization).

- Disclosure of debt records at the request of loan obligors, as well as the disclosure of the current owner of the loans (i.e., whether the loans are securitized or not).

- Extension of the deadline to register as creditor against Credia.

In addition, the Shizuoka Association is providing free telephone consultation services for Credia's loan obligors, and is offering advice to those who have overpaid interest claims. The Shizuoka Association has sent inquiries to Credia and has disclosed the company's responses on the Shizuoka Association's website. The information garnered from the inquiries includes the number of borrowers by prefecture, the number and amount of receivables entrusted for the purpose of securitization, as well as the name of the owner of the loans and who should be responsible for reimbursing any related overpaid interest.

b) Movement spreading out across the country

Through the Japan Federation of Solicitor Associations, the Shizuoka Association has called for cooperation from similar associations around the nation. In response, associations nationwide have jointly set up a hotline for Credia's borrowers. The Japan Federation of Solicitor Associations has expressed its intention to regard this collaboration as a test case, which may help set up procedures to deal with any other consumer finance company defaults that may ensue.

3. How Credia's filing for civil rehabilitation proceedings affects Japanese consumer finance loan ABS

There are three important aspects to Credia's case in the light of consumer finance loan ABS:

(1) The possibility that Credia's borrowers claiming refunds for overpaid interests may make similar claims against other consumer finance companies.

(2) The possibility that borrowers who had not been interested in filing claims for overpaid interest to be motivated to do so.

(3) The possibility of a cycle acceleration that a funding squeeze for some of the consumer finance companies may lead to a tightening of their credit policies, increasing the number of debt-workouts as well as heightening the risk of claims for overpaid interest.

Credia's case has raised the risk of claims for refunds of overpaid interest for all of the securitized pools of consumer finance loan ABS.

Moody's is paying careful attention to Credia's filing for civil rehabilitation proceedings, as well as the ensuing social phenomena. At the same time, Moody's is revisiting the risk of overpaid interest claims for each of the underlying pools of the transactions placed under review, and assessing each one's tolerance level. In addition to the information currently available on the portfolios, we will request for further data if necessary.

Moody's will publish a special report focusing on the overpaid interest risk in ABS transactions shortly.
