Mortgage Lending Laws To Be Relaxed Further

David from adviceHQ

Breaking news! Govt backtracks again on credit crunching CCCFA legislation:
• Narrowing the expenses considered by lenders to more explicitly exclude discretionary expenses;
• Reducing 'double counting' of expenses associated with revolving credit contracts such as credit cards and buy-now pay later schemes, and;
• Helping make debt refinancing or debt consolidation more accessible if appropriate for borrowers.
The proposed changes are in addition to the 7 July CCCFA backtrack.
