KANSAS COMMENT, 2000
This section prohibits a separate charge to the consumer for property insurance covering the creditor's interest in property unless the consumer also receives the benefit of the insurance to the extent he does not willfully cause the loss or damage, risk of which is insured. "Single interest" property insurance for which the creditor makes a separate charge to the consumer may not provide for subrogation of the insurer to the rights of the creditor as to any loss or damage not willfully caused by the consumer.
