Existing law requires, unless the persons are married to each other, each creditor who obtains the signature of more than one person on a consumer credit contract to deliver to specified persons prior to those persons becoming obligated on the contract a notice in English and Spanish, as described.

Existing law requires, unless the persons are married to each other, each creditor who obtains the signature of more than one person on a consumer credit contract to deliver to specified persons prior to those persons becoming obligated on the contract a notice in English and Spanish, as described.

Existing law authorizes these notices to be provided on a separate sheet, as described, or in the text of the consumer credit contract or other document establishing liability of the person. Existing law also provides that if federal law or regulations require or permit the use of a notice substantially similar to the notice required as described above, the use of the federally sanctioned notice and an accurate Spanish translation constitutes compliance.
