The administrator shall promulgate rules declaring specific conduct in consumer credit transactions and the collection of debts arising therefrom from consumer credit transactions to be unconscionable and prohibiting the use thereof of those unconscionable acts. In promulgating such rules under this section, the administrator shall consider, among other things, all of the following:
(1) That the practice unfairly takes advantage of the lack of knowledge, ability, experience, or capacity of customers;.
(2) That those engaging in the practice know of the inability of customers to receive benefits properly anticipated from the goods or services involved;.
(3) That there exists a gross disparity between the price of goods or services and their value as measured by the price at which similar goods or services are readily obtainable by other customers, or by other tests of true value;.

(6) That the terms of the transaction require customers to unreasonably jeopardize money or property beyond the money or property immediately at issue in the transaction;.

(8) That the writing purporting to evidence the obligation of the customers in the transaction contains terms or provisions or authorizes practices prohibited by law; and.
