     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.
