Bring in the Experts – Wednesday 30th June – The Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA) – What you need to know about the new legislative changes

This webinar will discuss the background of the new CCCFA requirements and unbundle the changes which will impact on you and the advice which you provide to clients.

From October, these changes will result in lenders having different requirements for you as an adviser. This will mean you will have to adjust the information you obtain from your clients, so will impact on your policies, processes and controls which you have developed to meet your new obligations and duties under FSLAA.

The Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 (CCCF Act) is a law that helps protect consumers when  they are borrowing money. It sets out rules lenders must follow when lending money. These rules mean the consumer gets useful information to help them select the best credit and understand what they are agreeing to. Therefore this change will impact all mortgage advisers who seek financing solutions for their clients.

Our expert is Pauline Ho.
