ACL NUMBER: 411104

Under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2010 (“the Act”), there are certain obligations that we are required to undertake when we provide you with Credit Assistance by taking a preliminary assessment. The primary obligation is that we are required to assess whether the provision of credit is unsuitable having regard to your financial circumstances as well as looking at your requirements and objectives for seeking credit. We do this by undertaking a written credit assessment.

We are prohibited from providing credit assistance after we have undertaken a preliminary assessment if in our reasonable opinion, amongst other considerations:

  1. You would be unable to comply with your financial obligations under the proposed contract or could only comply with substantial hardship;
  2. The loan does not meet your requirements or objectives and or is unsuitable.

Pursuant to the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009, if you request a copy of the written credit assessment it will be provided to you free of charge.
If you make a request for a copy of your assessment after the credit contract is entered into, we will provide a copy within 7 days.
If a request is made after two years from entering into the contract, we will provide a copy within 21 days.
