Consumer Credit (Western Australia) Amendment Bill 2001 |
| Bill No. | 52 |
| Long Title | The purpose of this Bill is to amend the Consumer Credit (Western Australia) Act 1996 and the Consumer Credit (Western Australia) Code to extend coverage to payday lending and to set a maximum total cost of credit for loans of less than 62 days. This Bill will close a loophole in the Consumer Credit Code that allows payday lenders to avoid regulation and ensure that the same consumer credit laws continue to apply in Western Australia as apply in all other Australian States and Territories. |
