               Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1996-2.
               File No. 333-14293

          Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Enclosed herewith for filing on behalf of the trust fund (the
          "Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
          as of December 1, 1996 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement")
          among Lehman ABS Corporation, as Depositor (the "Depositor"), The
          Provident Bank, as Seller (the "Seller"), as Document Custodian (the
          "Document Custodian") and as Master Servicer (the "Master
          Servicer"), and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as
          Trustee (the "Trustee"), is a Current Report on Form 8-K (the
          "Report").

          The Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1996-2 (the
          "Certificates"), will consist of two Classes (each, a "Class") of
          senior Certificates:  The Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2
          Certificates (collectively, the "Class A Certificates") and one
          Class of subordinated Certificates (the "Class R Certificates").
          Only the Class A Certificates (The "Offered Certificates") are
          being offered hereby.

          The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate the entire
          beneficial interest in a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of closed-end
          fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
          consisting of two groups ("Loan Group 1" and Loan Group 2",
          respectively, and each a "Loan Group") held by Provident Bank Home
          Equity Loan Trust 1996-2 (the "Trust") to be formed pursuant to the
          Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Class A-1 Certificates (the
          "Group 1 Certificates") will represent undivided ownership interests
          in Loan Group 1 which consists of Mortgage Loans with fixed interest
          rates.  The Class A-2 Certificates (the "Group 2 Certificates") will
          represent undivided ownership interests in Loan Group 2 which
          consists of Mortgage Loans with adjustable interest rates.  The
          assets of the Trust will also include certain other property.  The
          Mortgage Loans are secured by first and second deeds of trust or
          mortgages primarily on one- to four-family residential properties.
          All of the Initial Mortgage Loans will be acquired by Lehman ABS
          Corporation (the "Depositor") from Provident.

          The Offered Certificates were registered under the Securities Act of
          1933, as amended, by a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.
          333-3911).  As a result, the Trust is subject to the filing
          requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
          as amended (the "Exchange Act").  The Trust intends to fulfill these
          filing requirements in the manner described herein:

          The Trust will file, promptly after each Distribution Date (as
          defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), a Current Report on
          Form 8-K in substantially the form enclosed herewith, including as
          an exhibit thereto the applicable Distribution Date report.  Each
          such Current Report will also disclose under Item 5 any matter
          occurring during the relevant reporting period which would be
          reportable under Item 1, 2, 4 or 5 of Part II of Form 10-Q.

          The Trust will file a Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after the
          occurrence of any event described under Item 2, 3, 4 or 5 thereof,
          responding to the requirements of the applicable Item.

          Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Trust will file
          an annual report of Form 10-K which responds to Items 2, 3, and 4 of
          Part I, Items 5 and 9 of Part II, Items 12 and 13 of Part III and
          Item 14 of Part IV thereof, and include as exhibits thereto certain
          information from the Distribution Date reports aggregated for such
          year and a copy of the independent accountants' annual compliance
          statement required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

          The Trust will follow the above procedures except for any fiscal year
          as to which its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the
          Exchange Act have been suspended pursuant to such Section.  In such
          event, the Trust will file a Form 15 as required under Rule 15d-6.

          Should you wish to discuss the above filing procedures, please call
          Judy L. Gomez at (714) 253-7562.
