Head Matter:
Jefferson Credit Corporation, Appellant, v. William Burt et al., Respondents.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
November 21, 1969.
Rood, Schwarts & Cohen (Jerold R. Ruderman of counsel), for appellant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant relies upon the failure to give written notice of a defense to the retail installment sales contract to give effect to the contract provision not to assert any defense against the assignee of the contract pursuant to subdivision 9 of section 302 of the Personal Property Law. Oral notice of the failure to deliver was given before the expiration of the statutory 10-day period and appellant investigated the defense without objecting to the oral notice or demanding a written notice. Once actual notice is given, written notice becomes superfluous. Appellant's conduct constitutes a waiver of written notice and estops it from demanding such notice.
The judgment should be affirmed, with $25 costs.
