(4). In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor's obligation, law other than this Article requires that

and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid by the account debtor under the record, and the record does
not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against
an assignee is determined as if the record included such a statement.
