NCSU If you have a dormant savings account, you might be contribu ting to the Escheat fund of North Carolina. There’s a state law that says an account can be closed and the money turned over to the state if the owner has failed to make a deposit or withdrawal within a certain time period — perhaps three to five years. If the money is not claimed within seven years after it goes into the Escheat fund, it becomes the property of the state, says Dr. Thelma Hinson, extension family resource management specialist, North Carolina State University. THIS IS THE LAW Sponsered by The Lawyers of North Carolina CONSUMER CREDIT PURCHASES A consumer buys a TV set on credit in North Carolina and sees a puz zling notice on the con tract. This notice says that any holder of the contract is subject to the same claims and defenses which the consumer could assert against the merchant. What does this mean? Merchants often sell the consumer's contract to a bank, and the consumer then must make his month ly payments to the bank. It used to be that if the TV didn't work, the consumer still had to pay the bank. But under the present law the notice has to appear on the contract. Shown here is the work crew of David Vining, Tim Corbett and John Vining posing on a bridge in Woodland Park. The bridge which goes over a small creek was built by the Polk County Jaycees. Shown in the back ground are some railroad tie steps leading to a trail.
