Summary
Details

In an era where the regulation of financial products is more complex-and more essential-than ever, consumers and business borrowers alike are often left vulnerable to unfair practices. 'A Practical Guide to Unfair Relationship Claims and Consumer Credit' is a detailed guide that identifies the legal and practical realities of unfair relationships in credit agreements.

Drawing on key case law, extensive practical experience, regulatory frameworks, and real-world examples, this book explores how credit agreements can become exploitative, the legal protections available under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended), and the evolving role of the courts in ensuring fairness.

The book navigates through key legislation, and the concept of ""unfair relationships,"" showing how the law can both protect consumers and rectify wrongs. Practical case examples illustrate how these dynamics play out in real life, offering insights that are both critical and constructive.

This book is an essential resource for lawyers and consumer advocates. Whether you work within the legal system or engage with it from the outside, this book will sharpen your understanding of how justice can operate in the credit market.
