Samuel signed a contract to purchase furniture on credit. The contract clearly set forth
in bold print all charges included in the cost of the credit, including the interest rate and
annual percentage rate. The seller informed Samuel that the seller regularly sold these
contracts to a finance company that paid it immediate cash and then collected from the
debtors. The seller further advised that the finance company did not want "the
headache" of determining the validity of consumer complaints and that therefore the
contract provided that the consumer waived all defenses concerning the furniture
against the finance company. The contract expressly provided that the seller would
remain responsible for any non-conformities in the furniture or breaches of contract on
its part. The furniture was defective, but the finance company is demanding that Samuel
make the payments to it required by the contract and resolve its disputes with the seller
of the furniture. Samuel consults you regarding his rights. What is your response?
