Consolidated instalment contracts Sometimes a retail buyer makes subsequent purchases from the seller from whom it purchased goods under a retail instalment payment agreement. At the seller`s option, these subsequent purchases can be included and consolidated with the previous retail instalment payment contract. Under the Retail Sales Act, subsequent purchases are treated as separate instalment contracts, even though they may have been consolidated in the previous contract. §56-1-2(M). If subsequent purchases are consolidated in the previous instalment payment contract, the buyer does not need to conclude a new contract for each subsequent purchase. Rather, it is sufficient for the seller to draw up a written note containing the information on the points listed above for the requirements of a instalment payment contract in the retail trade. §56-1-2(M)(2). The Retail Sales Act and the Truth in Loans Act require creditors to provide certain information when offering consumers a retail instalment contract. While the wording of the requirements varies, much of the same information is required by each statute.
A creditor who complies with the Truth in Loans Act and its regulations is considered to be in compliance with the Retail Sales Act. NMSA § 56-1-15. Imagine Friendly Finance Company has two different customers, each of whom financed the purchase of a new motor vehicle. Customer A received a simple loan at interest and used the product to purchase the vehicle. The loan bears interest at 8.99% per annum and there are no other financing costs, so the APR is also 8.99%. Customer B finances the purchase under an instalment purchase contract with financing costs (in the form of the price difference over time) with an APR of 8.99%. A loan is a transaction between you and a bank or other lender for money where you use the money to buy a vehicle and agree to repay the balance of the loan plus interest. An installment retail, on the other hand, is a transaction between you and the dealer to purchase a vehicle, where you agree to pay the dealer over time and pay both the value of the vehicle and interest. A merchant could sell the retail instalment purchase agreement to a lender or other party. 2.
