At The Credit Brains, we believe that consumers deserve to be well-informed and fully aware of their rights. In a time of unique economic turmoil, it’s only by understanding the legal and financial landscape, as well as the risks and opportunities it presents, that we can make appropriate life choices.
But the law relating to consumer debt is also changing. Some changes we welcome – such as those that strengthen vital consumer protections; others are a clear threat to consumers’ rights. Meanwhile, the stream of revelations about corporate bad practice and security breaches affecting credit agencies, lenders, and collection agencies continues to flow.
That’s why we regularly curate a selection of timely and relevant articles published across the internet. The result is this free-to-access resource that’s readily available to members and non-members alike. We invite you to read, recommend, and link to the articles here, in order to arm yourself and your friends, family, and colleagues with vital knowledge.
