Rate tables shall not be used in precomputed transactions when a significant prepayment is made at any time prior to prepayment in full. When a significant prepayment has been made, refunds shall be calculated by recasting all payments in accordance with the actuarial method; see Title 9-A, M.R.S.A. Section 2-510(3).
For purposes of this Rule, a significant prepayment is defined as any payment which is at least three times the size of the contracted payment amount.
