Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mackinlay (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 April 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Debt Collection (Consumer Credit Act).


Debt Collection (Consumer Credit Act)

I am very pleased with what the Minister is telling us, but my anxiety is that, if the OFT starts using those sanctions, as I want it to, some companies will simply dissolve themselves and the same bad directors will constitute new companies and go back to their old customers. Will there be some protection to ensure that such abuse—such getting around the situation—does not prevail?
