CONSUMER CREDIT
Since the amendment of the Consumer Credit Act in 2016, London Compliance Solutions has been busy organising and supporting client’s activities to ensure complete compliance across the board. This ensures smooth transitions from interim permissions to achieving full Consumer Credit licenses as well as making sure that overlapping legislation (Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 and various EU directives and legislations) is adhered to.
WHY IS CONSUMER CREDIT SO IMPORTANT?
Failing to meet Consumer Credit guidelines has landed many companies in trouble over the years. The regulation provides that there are set requirements a company must conform to when processing and advertising credit agreements.
These include (but are not limited to);
- Information that must be provided to your customers before they enter into any type of credit agreement.
- How a credit agreement is structured and what it should contain.
- How a company sets its APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and the method in which it does this.
- How a company is to act in the event of a default, termination or in the event a customer settles the balance early.
- How a company advertises products with credit agreements.
- Protections a company should put in place around credit card purchases.
