Monte Miller buys a television from Discount Electronics on credit
Discount gives a written assignment of the debt to Metro Finance Co When Metro demands its first monthly payment from Miller, he says that the television needed a repair and he is deducting the cost thereof from his payment. Can Monte do this? Why or why not?
