1974 Consumer Credit Act

It has been discovered that many finance and credit agreements signed before April 2007 breach the terms and conditions of the 1974 Consumer Credit Act. It is possible to have any agreement you have ‘audited’ by a solicitor to check the contract to see if it complies with the 1974 Act. If is does not, it is unenforceable and you can apply to your lender to wipe out the whole balance.

Because of the manner in which the banks and lenders solicitors drew up the finance agreements we signed, I.e ignoring the law as laid down by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, it is possible to take your lenders to court and apply to wipe out the entire balance. The fact is that the banks and lenders did not adhere to the very strict and complex terms which were required to be written into the contract by the 1974 Act. This law was designed to protect us, the consumer from the whims of the lenders with regard to interest rates rises etc. It has been found that many of credit finance agreements are not valid contracts because they don’t comply with the very strict terms and conditions of the act and this actually makes them unenforceable contracts which is why you can apply for a wipe out of the debt.
