If not, keep this in mind. are, you The nub of the problem is with the buyer who purchases a product and enters into a commercial contract for a small down payment with the balance of the debt payable on time. In many cases the buyer does not read the fine print of the contract or the terms are fraudulently misrepresented. After he signs the contract he finds that he is unable to protect himself and is left holding the bag with payments he cant afford. Simply stated, he gets in over his head. But why?

We may find ourselves in a bind later on and think we can modify or nullify the contract. But it never happens. Its too late.
