No. 135 of 2018Consumer Credit (Amendment) Bill 2018
Public bill · Private Member · Introduced
The Consumer Credit (Amendment) Bill 2018 would set a legal cap on the interest rates moneylenders can charge, by changing the existing consumer credit rules. Its aim is to stop very high-cost lending and give borrowers better protection from debt traps. It would also cover any connected changes needed to make that cap work in practice. The document shown on page 5 sets out the core purpose clearly, while page 6 shows the same proposal in Irish and English and notes it was ordered to be printed in March 2022.
Formal long title
Bill entitled an Act to place a cap on moneylenders’ interest rates, by amending the Consumer Credit Act 1995; and to provide for related matters.
