                       Report of Independent Accountants

Board of Directors
FIRSTPLUS Financial, Inc.

We have examined management's assertion included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management that, during the year ended September 30, 1996,
FIRSTPLUS Financial, Inc. (the Company), complied with the minimum servicing
standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) that are applicable to
home improvement and debt consolidation loans serviced by the Company pursuant
to the respective Pooling and Servicing Agreements for the Remodelers Home
Improvement Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1994-1, 1995-1, 1995-2,
1995-3, 1995-4, 1996-1, 1996-2, 1996-A, and 1996-3. Management has represented
to us that the minimum servicing standards related to mortgagor escrow accounts
and adjustable rate mortgages including: minimum servicing standards I.4.,
III.2. (with respect to tax and insurance disbursements made on behalf of the
mortgagors), III.3., III.4., V.2., V.3., and V.4. are not applicable to the
home improvement loans they service. Management is responsible for the
Company's compliance with the applicable requirements. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance
with the applicable minimum servicing standards based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
applicable minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on the Company's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with
applicable minimum servicing standards as mentioned above during the year ended
September 30, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

                                                           /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP

accounts and adjustable rate mortgages, including: I.4, III.2 (with respect to
