520.38 Transfer of contracts.—Any retail seller may assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer a retail installment contract or revolving account to any person, firm or corporation on such terms and conditions and for such price as may be mutually agreed upon. Filing of the assignment, notice to the buyer of the assignment, and any requirement that any person maintain dominion over the payments under the contract or account or over the goods if repossessed, shall not be necessary to the validity of a written assignment or transfer of a contract or account as against creditors, subsequent purchasers, pledgees, mortgagees and lien claimants of the seller.
