Consumer Credit - The New Regime

"Very well delivered, a difficult subject made very interesting"

"Knows his stuff and is enthusiastic. A good speaker"

"Very clear and concise and easy to follow"

"Very comprehensive overview, useful practical application"

Why You Should Attend This Seminar

The consumer credit regime has seen huge changes in the last few years. The Consumer Credit Act 2006, and a host of new and amending regulations, has made this a complicated area of the law. As the credit crunch worsens, so the practical importance of this consumer protection legislation has never been more important. This intermediate level seminar aims to provide a reminder of the scope and extent of the regime, and to summarise the significant recent changes.

Main points covered:

• An overview of the framework of the CCA 1974 and its subordinate legislation

• When does the Act apply? This will cover the recent changes to the definition of individual, to the financial limits and to the categories of exemption

• When it applies, what does the Act require? This will include the recent changes to the form and content of agreements, to the provision of information and to the licensing regime

• What remedies does the Act provide to creditors and consumers? This will include a discussion of the various grounds for consumers to challenge their credit and hire agreements

• What role do the Courts play in providing those remedies and enforcing regulated agreements?
