Clause 35 - Charges for indefinite licences
Consumer Credit Bill
11:30 am
Charles Hendry (Shadow Minister, Trade & Industry; Wealden, Conservative)
Can the Minister give us some additional guidance on the level of charges that he thinks likely for indefinite licences? Also, is there a right of appeal against termination? The explanatory notes state on page 19:
“Failure to pay a periodic charge in respect of a standard licence during the payment period (or extended payment period) results in the licence being terminated and details of licences terminated for this reason must be kept on OFT’s public register.”
Is there a right of appeal against that? Otherwise it would seem that the OFT has a complete decision-making authority for something on which people would have a natural right to challenge it.
