Probably. But WHY isn't each page initialed? Is it an oversight? Or was the person who didn't "initial" it communicating some disagreement with the language of the contract? The really important thing is that it's signed. Some contracts have to be in writing and signed, per the Statute of Frauds or the Uniform Commercial Code. Other contracts can be binding if done verbally or part verbally and part in writing, but if the written part has a space for somebody's signature and that person didn't sign it, how can you say there was a meeting of the minds and a real agreement? Not signing is a big problem. Not initialing each page is a smaller problem that is less likely to void the contract.

Can a lender revise his contract without contacting the debtor?

The finance company has to have a contract signed by you. If they change something it has to be initialed by the customer. Unfortunatly, to fight this you would need to contact a lawyer which would probably cost more than $300. It is absolutely wrong for them to change a legal document after the fact of it being signed by the customer, but I have never seen a contract that actually states a grace period for repossession.

Does a contract have to be signed at the bottom of the statement or can it be on a separate page?

If there are multiple pages of a contract they need to be numbered (1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc.) and each page initialed by both (all) parties to the contract, and the contract signed on the last of these pages. It should be clear that the pages belong together, a footer is always a good idea.
