Submission: The exemption of retailers from the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009
Consumer Action has made a submission on Treasury’s Discussion paper regarding the exemption of retailers from the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009.
Briefly, this submission:
- supports option 2 in the discussion paper, requiring vendor introducers to comply with the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009;
- does not support option 1 (maintaining the current exemption) as it is in our view an arbitrary and poorly targeted solution;
- argues that option 3 (applying more targeted requirements to vendor introducers) is more preferable than maintaining the current exemption but may introduce new complexities without solving existing problems.
