Borrower protection covers the rights of people who borrow money from banks or other lenders, including mortgages, personal loans and consumer credit, to ensure terms are clear and fair. A solicitor in this area drafts, reviews and negotiates loan and credit agreements, assesses risk around interest, charges and repayment, and helps clients respond to lender requests, disputes or mis-selling allegations. They also advise on regulatory protections and how to pursue complaints or remedies when issues arise.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
This work involves interpreting the Consumer Credit Act 1974, Mortgage Credit Directive, and regulatory guidance to protect borrowers from unfair terms, hidden charges or failure of disclosure. A solicitor negotiates terms, reviews statements and notices, handles loan restructures, challenges unreasonable enforcement, and represents the client in communications with lenders, credit reference agencies, and, where applicable, courts or tribunals.
