Thread: 'Prescribed period' under S77 CCA74

Prescribed period is one month - defined usually as 28 days (Section 7, subsection 4(b)).

4(b) if the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

The word 'default' is used in the context of defaulting on the request, not the default that many people receive for not paying.

Any donations and money made is applied to the hosting costs.

If you make a post of your own, rather then posting in someone elses thread then we can help you (for free just to make that clear). Your first action is to request all the statements to find out how much you have been charged. Which is here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ction-act.html

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, Chesham.

However, the "prescribed period" is not prescribed in the Act itself (see Section 189 of the Act.)

For anyone following this thread, as far as I can tell, the prescribed period is twelve days. (That is, the lender must provide the requested information within twelve days of receipt of the request.)

The period is prescribed in the Consumer Credit (Prescribed Periods for Giving Information) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1569, Reg. 2, schedule.)

(Btw, Slider72, I'm not too fussed about you hi-jacking this thread. It took me a while to find the templates, too.)
