CSA Meets with Key Ministers
Leading figures from across the UK met with a number of key ministers and MPs to discuss the issues facing the credit industry.
The results were very constructive, with a raft of media coverage helping to ensure real differences would be made in the way credit works within the UK.
Topics discussed included the proposed eradication of the edited electoral roll, the sending of notices to the former addresses of known 'gone aways', and ways to ensure ever greater levels of compliance within the industry.
All three of the main political parties brought forward good suggestions, which will form part of ongoing consultation and co-operation with the industry.
The delegation of credit industry representatives was championed by the CSA and met with three key politicians:
Gareth Thomas MP
Labour
Minister of State, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and for International Development
John Thurso MP
Liberal Democrat
Shadow Secretary of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform
Eleanor Laing MP
Conservative
Shadow Minister for Justice
Whilst discussions are still ongoing, the representatives of the credit industry are optimistic that their concerns have been duly noted and have every confidence that they will be taken forward accordingly.
