(2) The creditor shall disclose all information required by this subchapter before the transaction is consummated; such disclosures may be made on the face of the writing evidencing the transaction. (3) Before any payment is due, the creditor shall furnish the customer with an exact copy of each instrument, document, agreement and contract which is signed by the customer and which evidences the customer’s obligation. If there is more than one customer, delivery of copies of the documents to one of them constitutes compliance with this subsection. (4) Anything to the contrary in chs. 421 to 427 notwithstanding, the sale of insurance under ch. 424 shall not be considered a sale requiring separate disclosure other than as provided in s. 422.202 (1).
