Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $339 million in 2012 and $321 million in 2011. Consumer loan amounts are net of unamortized acquisition discounts of $459 million at December 31, 2012 and $500 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, approximately 97% of consumer installment loan balances were evaluated collectively for impairment, whereas about 64% of commercial loan balances were evaluated individually for impairment.
