16a-3-203. (UCCC) Notice of assignment and receipt of payment by assignor. (1) The consumer is authorized to pay the original creditor until he receives notification of assignment of rights to payment pursuant to a consumer credit transaction and that payment is to be made to the assignee. A notification which does not reasonably identify the rights assigned is ineffective. If requested by the consumer, the assignee must provide reasonable proof that the assignment has been made or the consumer may pay the original creditor.
(2) If the payment is received by the assignor of a consumer credit contract for the benefit of the assignee, the date of payment shall be deemed to be the day payment is received by the assignor.
History: L. 1973, ch. 85, § 43; L. 2024, ch. 6, § 63; January 1, 2025.
KANSAS COMMENT, 2010
The consumer is protected in paying the original creditor until he or she receives notice of an assignment. This section is derived from the UCC, K.S.A. 84-9-406. The assignee should also be mindful of the potential for an affirmative duty to give certain notices with respect to refunds of premiums on consumer credit insurance. See the Kansas comment to K.S.A. 16a-4-108(3).
