Chapter Two currently has a national network of mortgage specialists to assist clients obtain credit products including home loans, investment loans, personal loans, credit cards and consumer leases.
Under the NCCP Act, we are obliged to ensure that any loan or principal increase to a loan we help you to obtain, or any lease we help you to enter, is not unsuitable for you. To decide this, we may need to ask you some questions in order to assess whether the loan or lease is not unsuitable. The law requires us to: make reasonable inquiries about your requirements and objectives; make reasonable inquiries about your financial situation; take reasonable steps to verify that financial situation.
Credit will be unsuitable if at the time of the assessment, it is likely that: you could not pay or could only pay with substantial hardship; the credit will not meet your requirements and objectives.
Additionally, we must ask you to provide us with a significant amount of accurate information. If we give you credit assistance, we must also provide you with a copy of our preliminary credit assessment of your application if you ask within seven years of when we assist you. If we arrange a loan for you remember you must make your own enquiries about the value and future growth of the security property. Also note that any valuation we obtain is for our own use.
