A notification which does not reasonably identify the rights assigned is ineffective. If requested by the consumer, the assignee must provide reasonable proof that the assignment has been made or the consumer may pay the original creditor.

KANSAS COMMENT, 2010
The consumer is protected in paying the original creditor until he or she receives notice of an assignment. This section is derived from the UCC, K.S.A. 84-9-406. The assignee should also be mindful of the potential for an affirmative duty to give certain notices with respect to refunds of premiums on consumer credit insurance. See the Kansas comment to K.S.A. 16a-4-108(3).
