Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call on the Government to create legislation for clarity and fairness both to the Lenders and Debtors.
Proposal 1
To set a time limit for Default Notices to remain on an individuals credit file dependant on the amount of default i.e.
*FOLLOWING DATE OF DEFAULT SETTLEMENT*
£1-1000: 1 Year
£1001-2000: 2/3 Years
£2001-3000: 3/4 Years
£3001-5000: 4/5 Years
£5001+: 6 Years
=======================================
OR
=======================================
*FOLLOWING DATE OF DEFAULT SETTLEMENT*
To set a time limit for Default Notices to remain on Credit Files for 4 years which we consider to be a more fair and general time frame to be set considering there are varying amounts of default and individual circumstances which should be considered.
