Item 5. OTHER EVENTS.
(a) MERGER. On September 26, 1994, EquiCredit Corporation (the
"Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") with Barnett Banks, Inc. ("Barnett Banks") and a Delaware
corporation to be formed as wholly-owned subsidiary of Barnett Banks
(the "Merger Subsidiary"). The transaction was consummated on January
27, 1995.
(b) On August 15, 1996, (the "August Remittance Date") a scheduled
distribution was made from EQCC Home Equity Loan Trust 1996-2 to
holders of Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3
Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates and Class A-5 Certificates. The
information contained in the Trustee's Remittance Report in respect of
the August Remittance Date, attached hereto as Exhibit 99, is hereby
incorporated by reference.
(c) On February 19, 1996, a class action complaint was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Elizabeth
D. Washington on behalf of herself and others similarly situated,
against EquiCredit Corporation of Ga., an affiliate of EquiCredit
Corporation of America. Plaintiff purports to represent a class (the
"Class") consisting of all persons who obtained "federally regulated
mortgage loans" from February 16, 1995 to February 16, 1996 on which a
fee or yield spread premium ("YSP") was paid to a mortgage broker.
The action is brought pursuant to the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act ("RESPA") alleging that EquiCredit violated RESPA by
paying a YSP to Funding Center of Georgia, Inc. ("FCG"), failing to
disclose such YSP on the Good Faith Estimate of settlement costs, and
failing to provide a Good Faith Estimate and HUD "Special Information
Booklet" within three days of receipt of loan application. Plaintiff
seeks judgment equal to three times the amount of all YSP paid by
EquiCredit to FCG and other brokers, as well as court costs and
litigation expenses, attorney fees and such other relief which may be
granted by the court. Management of EquiCredit denies that the
Company has violated any law, rule, or regulation as asserted in the
Plaintiff's Complaint and intends to vigorously contest this action..
Deposition of John T, Hayt was taken by Plaintiff's attorney June 25,
1996. Deposition of Plaintiff was taken by EquiCredit August 22, 1996.
Plaintiff has filed motion for class certification. EquiCredit is
preparing to file opposition to motion for class certification.
