     Independent Accountants' Report on Applying Agreed-Upon
                           Procedures


To Household Finance Corporation

We have performed procedures enumerated below in items A. and B.
in conjunction with Section 4.11 of the Master Sale and Servicing
Agreement, dated November 1, 1998 (the "Agreement").

A.  We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted
 auditing standards, the consolidated financial statements of
 Household Finance Corporation (the "Servicer") and subsidiaries
 as of December 31, 1999, and have issued our report thereon dated
 January 14, 2000.  We have not audited any financial statements
 of the Servicer as of any date or for any period subsequent to
 December 31, 1999, or performed any audit procedures subsequent
 to the date of our report on those statements.  As part of our
 audit, we reviewed documents and records relating to the
 servicing of consumer automobile finance receivables under the
 Agreement.  In connection with our audit, we noted no exceptions
 or errors in the records relating to the servicing of consumer
 automobile finance loans that, in our opinion, generally accepted
 auditing standards required us to report.

B.  We have performed the procedure described in the following
 paragraph, which was agreed to by the management of the Servicer,
 with respect to Section 4.11 of the Agreement, in conjunction
 with the servicing of consumer automobile finance receivables
 owned by Household Automobile Revolving Trust I.  This agreed-
 upon procedure was performed in accordance with standards
 established by the American Institute of Certified Public
 Accountants.  The sufficiency of the procedure is solely the
 responsibility of the Servicer.  Consequently, we make no
 representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedure
 described below either for the purpose for which this report has
 been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedure and associated findings are as follows:

  From the Monthly Servicer's Certificates prepared by the
  Servicer between January, 1999 and December, 1999, we selected
  the following months and performed the following:

    We have compared the mathematical calculation of each amount
    set forth in the Monthly Servicer's Certificates to the
    Servicer's accounting records for the month of March, 1999,
    June, 1999, and August, 1999, for Series 1998-1 and found it
    to be in the agreement.  Our comparisons were based on
    records provided to us by the Servicer and the methodology
    set forth in the Agreement.

With respect to the procedure performed in item B. above, we were
not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of
which would be the expression of an opinion on the Monthly
Servicer's Certificates described above.  Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.  Had we been engaged to perform
additional procedures, other matters might have come to our
attention that would have been reported to you.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
Specified Users and should not be used for any other purpose.
