The Credit Data Call for 2002 requests data on credit life and credit accident & health insurance in force or written directly in the state of Texas on loans or other credit transactions of 120 months or less duration. The blank experience and expense exhibits for 'experience year' are loaded on the diskette that you received in our July 28, 2000 correspondence.
