Consumer Credit

Exploring the latest legal and regulatory developments to bulletproof lending strategy

Introduction

In March this year the Government closed its consultation, "A new approach to financial regulation". This has left the consumer credit sector with an array of questions about what style of regime will be implemented and what will happen to the Consumer Credit Act. This conference will provide clarity and an opportunity to debate the position going forward. It will also examine the implementation of the Consumer Credit Directive and consider key issues from the perspective of a lender.

Chaired by Iain MacDonald, Gough Square Chambers and featuring a speaking panel with unparalleled industry expertise, including representatives from the Office of Fair Trading and the Financial Ombudsman Service, attending this conference will enable you to answer the following key questions:

  • What style of regime can we expect in the future?
  • How successfully has the EU directive been implemented?
  • What are the challenges with short term lending?
  • What trends and themes are emerging from the Financial Ombudsman and OFT caseload?
