The homeowner shall also pay any interest allowed by the foreclosure consulting contract, not to exceed nine percent per year.(5)
Failure of the homeowner to repay moneys as provided in subsection (4) of this section does not invalidate the cancellation of the foreclosure consulting contract.(6)

Be in duplicate;(b)
Be on a separate sheet of paper attached to the foreclosure consulting contract;(c)
Be easily detachable; and(d)
Contain a statement in substantially the following form and printed in at least 14-point boldfaced type:(7)
A written notice of cancellation under this section is sufficient, however expressed, if the notice indicates the intent of the homeowner to cancel the foreclosure consulting contract.
