Abstract

The global financial landscape has undergone significant transformations over the past decade, particularly in the consumer credit market. However, despite regulatory advancements, legal loopholes persist that jeopardize consumer protection and risk exacerbating the problem of over-indebtedness. This letter seeks to address these concerns by highlighting existing gaps in legislation and proposing strategic reforms to strengthen consumer rights and prevent irresponsible lending practices. To address these challenges, I propose several key reforms: Revision of the Consumer Credit Directive: Enhance the directive to include stricter guidelines on affordability assessments, mandating that lenders conduct thorough background checks that consider a consumer’s long-term financial stability. Standardization of Risk Assessment Procedures: Develop standardized procedures for assessing credit risks that include behavioral and socioeconomic factors to reduce the likelihood of default and over-indebtedness. Enhanced Oversight of Credit Bureaus: Implement stricter regulatory oversight of credit bureaus to ensure that credit scoring systems are transparent and equitable. Cap on Interest Rates and Fees: Introduce caps on interest rates and fees to protect consumers from predatory lending practices and prevent systemic usury. Consumer Education Programs: Increase investment in consumer education programs to ensure that borrowers are fully aware of the terms of credit agreements and the implications of debt. These recommendations aim to fortify the legal framework surrounding consumer credit, ensuring that it not only supports the financial system but also safeguards consumer interests, particularly those of the most vulnerable. By closing these legal loopholes, we can foster a more equitable and responsible credit market.
