          Reference is hereby made to the Registrant's Registration Statement
     on  Form S-3  (File  No.  333-26527) pursuant  to  which the  Registrant
     registered issuances  of FIRSTPLUS  Home Loan  Owner Trust asset  backed
     securities, issuable in various series,  for sale in accordance with the
     provisions  of the  Securities  Act  of 1933,  as  amended (the  "Act").
     Reference  is also  hereby made  to the  Prospectus dated  September 10,
     1997, and  the related  Prospectus Supplement,  dated  January 30,  1998
     (collectively, the "Prospectus"),  which were previously filed  with the
     Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5), relating  to the publicly offered
     FIRSTPLUS  Home Loan Owner Trust 1998-1  Asset Backed Securities, Series
     1998-1, consisting of  the Class A-1,  Class A-2, Class A-3,  Class A-4,
     Class A-5, Class  A-6, Class  A-7, Class  A-8, Class M-1  and Class  M-2
     Asset Backed  Notes (the  "Publicly Offered  Securities").   Capitalized
     terms used  but not defined  herein have  the meanings assigned  to such
     terms in the Prospectus.

          The  Publicly   Offered  Securities   were   sold  to   PaineWebber
     Incorporated  ("PaineWebber"), Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., Deutsche Morgan
     Grenfell Inc.  and Merrill Lynch,  Pierce, Fenner  & Smith  Incorporated
     (collectively,  the  "Underwriters")   pursuant  to  the  terms   of  an
     underwriting  agreement   dated  June   12,  1997,   (the  "Underwriting
     Agreement"), as supplemented by a terms agreement dated January 30, 1998
     (the  "Terms Agreement"), each among PaineWebber, as representative (the
     "Representative")  of  the   Underwriters,  the  Registrant,   FIRSTPLUS
     Financial, Inc. ("FFI")  and FIRSTPLUS Financial Group, Inc.   A copy of
     the Underwriting Agreement was previously filed with  the Commission and
     a copy of the Terms Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1. 

          The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February
     1, 1998 (the  "Indenture") among FIRSTPLUS Home Loan  Owner Trust 1998-1
     (the "Issuer"  or the  "Trust") and U.S.  Bank National  Association, as
     Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee").  A copy of the Indenture is
     filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1.

          The Notes are  secured by the assets  of the Trust pursuant  to the
     Indenture.  The  assets of the  Trust primarily include  a pool of  home
     loans  (the "Home  Loans")  consisting  of loans  which  are secured  by
     mortgages, deeds  of trust or  other similar security instruments.   The
     Home Loans consist of loans for which  the related proceeds were used to
     finance  (i) property improvements, (ii) debt  consolidation, or (iii) a
     combination   of  property  improvements,  cash-out  or  other  consumer
     purposes.

          The Home  Loans were sold by FFI to  the Registrant pursuant to the
     terms of a Loan  Sale Agreement dated as of February  1, 1998 (the "Loan
     Sale Agreement") and  were simultaneously sold by the  Registrant to the
     Trust pursuant to  the Sale and Servicing Agreement (defined  below).  A
     copy of the Loan Sale Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

          The  Home  Loans  will be  serviced  by FFI,  an  affiliate  of the
     Registrant,  pursuant to  the terms  of a  Sale and  Servicing Agreement
     dated as of February  1, 1998 (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement") among
     the Registrant, as Seller, FFI,  as Transferor and Servicer, the Issuer,
     and U.S. Bank  National Association, as  Indenture Trustee and  Co-Owner
     Trustee.  A copy of the  Sale and Servicing Agreement is filed  herewith
     as Exhibit 10.2.
