Consumer credit law is an important field of law that regulates the provision of credit to consumers of goods and services and also includes chattel (goods) mortgages, personal loans and the law relating to credit cards. Given the costs and risks in borrowing money, it is essential that you have access to reliable legal advice to protect you in a dispute.
Led by Julian Van Leer, the consumer credit lawyers at Craddock Murray Neumann have gained significant expertise in this field over the years, protecting businesses, farmers and individual consumers. In fact, the firm has been involved in landmark litigation against a major credit provider that resulted in the government amending the credit laws in this field.
The team can provide expert advice and representation to clients with regard to:
- enforceability of contracts subject to the Credit Act
- contract disputes
- litigation arising out of alleged breaches of the Act
- Trade Practices Act disputes
- cases where unfair practices are alleged.
