(1) During the fourth quarter of 1998, People's Bank modified its 
methodology for charging off delinquent credit card receivables.  The Bank
will now charge-off as a loan loss credit card receivables in the month in
which the receivable becomes 181 days past due.  The prior practice had
been to charge-off delinquent receivables between the 210th through the 
240th day of delinquency.  For the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
(the "Trust"), this modification will result in approximately $17 million
of additional Defaulted Receivables and a corresponding decrease in 
delinquent Receivables (based on the level of delinquent Receivables 181 
days past due on December 31, 1998).  For operational purposes, this
change will be phased-in over a period of up to 12 months which commenced 
with the January 1999 Monthly Period.  Investors should note that for
People's Bank's financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of
additional charge-offs was recognized during the fourth quarter of 1998.

For the March 1999 Monthly Period, the additional Defaulted Receivables
resulting from this change of methodology are $1,522,835.77 or .61%.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 1998, People's Bank modified its 
methodology for charging off delinquent credit card receivables.  The Bank
will now charge-off as a loan loss credit card receivables in the month in
which the receivable becomes 181 days past due.  The prior practice had
been to charge-off delinquent receivables between the 210th through the 
240th day of delinquency.  For the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
(the "Trust"), this modification will result in approximately $17 million
of additional Defaulted Receivables and a corresponding decrease in 
delinquent Receivables (based on the level of delinquent Receivables 181 
days past due on December 31, 1998).  For operational purposes, this
change will be phased-in over a period of up to 12 months which commenced 
with the January 1999 Monthly Period.  Investors should note that for
People's Bank's financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of
additional charge-offs was recognized during the fourth quarter of 1998.

For the March 1999 Monthly Period, the additional Defaulted Receivables
resulting from this change of methodology are $1,522,835.77 or .61%.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 1998, People's Bank modified its 
methodology for charging off delinquent credit card receivables.  The Bank
will now charge-off as a loan loss credit card receivables in the month in
which the receivable becomes 181 days past due.  The prior practice had
been to charge-off delinquent receivables between the 210th through the 
240th day of delinquency.  For the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
(the "Trust"), this modification will result in approximately $17 million
of additional Defaulted Receivables and a corresponding decrease in 
delinquent Receivables (based on the level of delinquent Receivables 181 
days past due on December 31, 1998).  For operational purposes, this
change will be phased-in over a period of up to 12 months which commenced 
with the January 1999 Monthly Period.  Investors should note that for
People's Bank's financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of
additional charge-offs was recognized during the fourth quarter of 1998.

For the March 1999 Monthly Period, the additional Defaulted Receivables
resulting from this change of methodology are $1,522,835.77 or .61%.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 1998, People's Bank modified its 
methodology for charging off delinquent credit card receivables.  The Bank
will now charge-off as a loan loss credit card receivables in the month in
which the receivable becomes 181 days past due.  The prior practice had
been to charge-off delinquent receivables between the 210th through the 
240th day of delinquency.  For the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
(the "Trust"), this modification will result in approximately $17 million
of additional Defaulted Receivables and a corresponding decrease in 
delinquent Receivables (based on the level of delinquent Receivables 181 
days past due on December 31, 1998).  For operational purposes, this
change will be phased-in over a period of up to 12 months which commenced 
with the January 1999 Monthly Period.  Investors should note that for
People's Bank's financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of
additional charge-offs was recognized during the fourth quarter of 1998.

For the March 1999 Monthly Period, the additional Defaulted Receivables
resulting from this change of methodology are $1,522,835.77 or .61%.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 1998, People's Bank modified its 
methodology for charging off delinquent credit card receivables.  The Bank
will now charge-off as a loan loss credit card receivables in the month in
which the receivable becomes 181 days past due.  The prior practice had
been to charge-off delinquent receivables between the 210th through the 
240th day of delinquency.  For the People's Bank Credit Card Master Trust
(the "Trust"), this modification will result in approximately $17 million
of additional Defaulted Receivables and a corresponding decrease in 
delinquent Receivables (based on the level of delinquent Receivables 181 
days past due on December 31, 1998).  For operational purposes, this
change will be phased-in over a period of up to 12 months which commenced 
with the January 1999 Monthly Period.  Investors should note that for
People's Bank's financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of
additional charge-offs was recognized during the fourth quarter of 1998.

For the March 1999 Monthly Period, the additional Defaulted Receivables
resulting from this change of methodology are $1,522,835.77 or .61%.
