About the consultation

On 10 June 2020 Government consulted on guidance on reasonable conduct in the consumer credit sector in the context of financial hardship caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Government is grateful to those who took the time to respond to this consultation, following which a number of amendments have been made. 

The final guidance is relevant to consumers who have or are considering borrowing, as well as the providers of credit and related services during Covid-19. This includes:

  • lending to consumers
  • loan brokerage or referral
  • debt counselling
  • debt collection 

The guidance, from Connétable Richard Buchanan, Assistant Minister for External Relations with responsibility for financial services, outlines appropriate steps that businesses and their customers should take when people are facing financial difficulty.
