You know that you should really educate yourself about your consumer rights – but it all sounds like a lot of hard work doesn’t it?
The Commerce Commission has developed a series of fun-to-watch animations aimed at helping you understand some of the big consumer and credit issues, and have a bit of a laugh at the same time.
The series, called It’s all good, follows Herman (a solo dad with a soft spot for big-ticket consumer products), Aunty (“one of Manukau’s sharpest legal operators”) and Marcus (a financial high-achiever with a heart).
In the first episodes Herman decides to get a loan to buy a high definition flat screen TV – conveniently forgetting that he’s already servicing several other loans, and oblivious to how much it’s all going to cost him.
Accompanying the series is a handy summary of key information that you need to know if you’re thinking of taking out a loan or buying stuff on credit, plus a list of organisations that can help if you need it.
If this whets your appetite for learning about your rights and obligations in a consumer credit contract, visit the Commerce Commission website for more.

Our size and our reputation ensures we deliver quality solutions at reasonable prices. It’s not too late to get those 2016 ideas and projects finished (or at least underway) so give us a call.
