About this Guide
This document provides information about the services we provide. We are licensed to provide credit assistance under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth) (NCCP Act).
We provide ‘credit assistance’ when we:
– suggest or assist you to apply for a particular credit contract with a financier; and/or,
– suggest or assist you to apply for an increase to an existing credit contract with a financier; and/or,
– suggest you remain in a particular credit contract with a
This guide will tell you about:
– who we are; and,
– how you can contact us; and,
– the services we provide; and, how we assess suitability; and,
– fees payable by you and commission received by us; and,
– what to do if you are unhappy with us or our products
Suitability Assessment
Under the NCCP Act, we are obliged to ensure that any credit product or any limit increase we recommend and arrange is not unsuitable for you. To help us make sure we do not offer you something that is unsuitable, we will ask you some questions so we can make a Preliminary Assessment, for example:
– details of your financial and personal situation; and,
– information about your requirements and objectives; and,
– your ability to repay the loan that you are considering
We will then verify the information you provided and make a Preliminary Assessment. We must find a credit product or limit increase unsuitable for you if:
– you will be unable to meet your financial commitments under the contract without substantial hardship; or,
– the contract will not meet your requirements and objectives
It is therefore very important that the information you provide us is accurate. Even if we recommend any credit product to you, it is important that you consider whether the product will be right for you and whether you are comfortable that you will be able to meet your commitments under the contract.
If we assist you into a credit contract or limit increase, you can ask us for a copy of your Preliminary Assessment. We must give you a copy of it within seven (7) days if the request is within the first two (2) years post completion of the document, or within 21 days if the request is after two (2) years but before seven (7) years after it has been prepared. There is no charge for requesting or receiving a copy of the Preliminary Assessment.
