  • dismissed a suit commenced against an assignee of a financing agreement for alleged violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (“CFA”).  Dismissal was granted on the basis that the Truth in Lending Agreement trumps the CFA and because the alleged violations were not apparent on the face of the agreement at the time of the assignment, defendant assignee was not liable.
