I don't know how the internals of contract_payment's class is set up,
but you could do this in some cases:
daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ irb
>> class Car
>> def initialize(color, make, model_year, owner)
>> @color, @make, @model_year, @owner = color, make, model_year, owner
>> end
>> end
=> nil
>> myCar = Car.new("green", "Ford", 2007, "Me!")
=> #<Car:0xb7bd566c @color="green", @owner="Me!", @model_year=2007,
@make="Ford">
>> myCar.instance_variables
=> ["@color", "@owner", "@model_year", "@make"]
>> properties = Hash.new
=> {}
>> myCar.instance_variables.each {|x| properties[x[1..-1]] =
myCar.instance_variable_get(x) }
=> ["@color", "@owner", "@model_year", "@make"]
>> properties
=> {"model_year"=>2007, "make"=>"Ford", "color"=>"green", "owner"=>"Me!"}
