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.
