INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Household Receivables Funding, Inc. III (the "Transferor") is the transferor under an Amended and Restated Transfer and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 16, 2000 (as amended, the "Agreement"), by and among the Transferor, HSBC Finance Corporation, successor by merger to Household Finance Corporation, as Servicer (the "Servicer") and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee (the "Owner Trustee"), for the Household Credit Card Master Note Trust I (the "Registrant" or the "Trust"). Under the Agreement, the Transferor sells certain receivables arising in connection with revolving credit accounts to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust. Such receivables are pledged as collateral for series of asset-backed notes (the "Notes") issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Indenture dated as of November 16, 2000, between the Owner Trustee and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., as indenture trustee ("Indenture Trustee"), and each indenture supplement thereto (together, and as such agreements may be amended or supplemented from time to time, an "Indenture").
Each Note represents an undivided interest in the Trust. The Series 2000-1 Supplement dated as of November 16, 2000 (the "Series 2000-1 Supplement"), between the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee created a Series of Notes designated as Household Credit Card Master Note Trust I, Series 2000-1 Asset Backed Notes; consisting of two classes; a senior class designated as Series 2000-1 Class A Notes and a subordinated class designated as Series 2000-1 Class B Notes. The Series 2001-1 Supplement dated as of January 25, 2001 (the "Series 2001-1 Supplement"), between the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee created a Series of Notes designated as Household Credit Card Master Note Trust I, Series 2001-1 Asset Backed Notes; consisting of two classes; a senior class designated as Series 2001-1 Class A Notes and a subordinated class designated as Series 2001-1 Class B Notes. The Series 2001-2 Supplement dated as of June 20, 2001 (the "Series 2001-2 Supplement"), between the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee created a Series of Notes designated as Household Credit Card Master Note Trust I, Series 2001-2 Asset Backed Notes; consisting of two classes; a senior class designated as Series 2001-2 Class A Notes and a subordinated class designated as Series 2001-2 Class B Notes. The Series 2002-1 Indenture Supplement dated as of October 28, 2002 (the "Series 2002-1 Supplement"), between the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee created a Series of Notes designated as Household Credit Card Master Note Trust I, Series 2002-1 Asset Backed Notes; consisting of two classes; a senior class designated as Series 2002-1 Class A Notes and a subordinated class designated as Series 2002-1 Class B Notes. In additional, there is a Transferor Certificate outstanding representing an undivided interest in the Trust that is not otherwise represented by the Series 2000-1, Series 2001-1, Series 2001-2 and Series 2002-1 Asset Backed Notes. On June 15, 2004, the Series 2001-2 Notes were paid in full. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2000-1 Notes was approximately $1,200,000,000, the Series 2001-1 Notes was approximately $900,000,000, and the Series 2002-1 Notes was approximately $560,000,000.
