Many people struggling with debt are unaware of their rights and are entering into unlawful, potentially unenforceable contracts.  Increasing your knowledge of how the law applies in a practical context can increase your confidence when advising clients or negotiating with creditors.  This workshop uses case study scenarios and real life examples to give you information and tools to take your work to the next level when dealing with debt. It will look at the way Credit Law is applied on a practical level and what advocates can do to improve outcomes for clients who have had their rights breached.

This 6 hour workshop held over two days will cover:

• Critical aspects of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act
• How the law applies to Pay-Day Lenders, Mobile Traders and Debt Collectors
• Using the CCCFA to negotiate positive outcomes for clients
• Where Dispute Resolution schemes fit in the picture
• The role of the Commerce Commission
