    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
    1996-1 to holders of Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2
    Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates,
    Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-6 Certificates and Class R
    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. The parties
    have agreed in principle to settle the action and a settlement
    agreement is being negotiated and will be presented to the court
    for approval. The agreement contemplates payment by EquiCredit of
    the total settlement amount of $352,000 in full compromise and
    settlement of all claims of plaintiff and class members. By
    reaching agreement in principle to settle the case, EquiCredit
    does not admit to any wrongdoing and in fact specifically denies
    any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever.
