Provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the ability of a person to collect on accounts lawfully entered into prior to the expiration of its license.
(D) If an application for a new or renewal license is incomplete, and if the information is not submitted to the division within thirty days after the the date of the last letter of deficiency, the division may consider the application withdrawn. If the application is withdrawn and the person later decides to re-apply, a new application shall be required.
(E) In connection with division (C) of section 1321.74 of the Revised Code, no active licensee may establish or maintain a branch office for purposes of making loans or accepting payments without first obtaining a license for that location from the division.
(F) An application for approval of such a branch office shall state the proposed location, the function to be performed there and such other information which the division may require, and shall be accompanied by a license fee and, if required by the division, an investigation fee of two hundred dollars.
