C.     in the event that a borrower fails to maintain in effect any insurance required in connection with a loan transaction, the lender may purchase the required insurance or lender's single interest insurance covering the lender's interest in the property, and the cost of such insurance shall be added to the loan and may accrue interest as provided for herein;

F.     the actual expenditures, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for legal process or proceedings to collect any such installment loan; provided, however, that no attorneys' fees are permitted where the loan is referred for collection to an attorney who is a salaried employee of the holder of the contract;   

G.     the actual cost of charges incurred in making a real estate loan secured by a mortgage on real estate, including but not limited to the charges for an abstract of title, title examination, title insurance premiums, property survey, appraisal fees, notary fees, preparation of deeds, mortgages or other documents, escrow charges, credit reports and filing and recording fees; and   

H.     a one-time charge of an amount not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00) in an installment loan repayable in two or more installments when the loan is made to a natural person primarily for personal, family or household purposes to help defray the actual costs of preparing truth-in-lending disclosure statements, equal credit opportunity disclosure statements and other disclosures required by federal law.
