• Art.: Regulation of Agreements and Practices

or to avoid disclosure of an annual percentage rate pursuant to the provisions on
disclosure and advertising. Dividing a single consumer credit transaction between a
husband and wife shall be presumed to be a violation of this section. The excess
amount of finance charge provided for in agreements in violation of this section is
an excess charge for the purposes of the provisions on the effect of violations on
