Some hugely relevant data to cover off this week, and very timely, after the Government last week announced a few tweaks to the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act. This followed a mini-review of the recent changes implemented on December 1, which appear to have impacted 'good' borrowers than intended or necessary.
