Legal Terms - Ancillary credit business
A business engaged in credit brokerage, debt adjustment, debt counseling, debt collection, or the management of a credit reference agency. Credit brokerage involves facilitating introductions between individuals seeking credit and businesses engaged in consumer credit activities. Debt adjusting refers to the act of a third party negotiating the terms for the repayment of a debt owed by a debtor to a creditor or owner, specifically in relation to consumer-credit agreements or consumer-hire agreements. The individual in question may also choose to compensate a third person to assume responsibility for fulfilling their commitment to repay a debt or engage in other comparable action related to its settlement. Debt counselling involves providing guidance to debtors or hirers on how to repay their obligations under consumer-credit agreements or consumer-hire agreements. This advice is given by someone other than the original creditor or certain other individuals. In the field of debt collection, a third party takes action to get payment for debts owed to them, rather than the original creditor.
A creditor may enlist the services of a debt collector for this specific objective. A credit reference bureau gathers data on the financial status of individuals and provides this data to those who want it. The Consumer Credit Act 1974 mandates the licensing of supplementary credit enterprises and governs their operations. The Consumer Credit Act 2006 broadened the scope of businesses covered by include debt administration within its definition.
