End the Payday Debt Trap |
||||||||||
| Abstract |
The campaign informs people about the myths around pay day lending and encourages individuals and community organisations to take action. It is based on research findings that demonstrate that high cost loans exploit vulnerable consumers. The campaign encourages submissions to the parliamentary inquiries considering proposed legislation that will cap the interest on payday loans. The Consumer Credit and Corporations Legislation Amendment (Enhancements) Bill 2011 (the BIll) is being investigated by two committees; the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial and the Senate Economics Committee. |
