General obligations on advertising and promotion of consumer credit

In advertising or promoting consumer credit, there are prohibitions on:

  • making false and misleading representations;
  • harassment of a person in attempting to get that person to apply for, or enter into, a credit contract or consumer lease; and
  • limitations on visits to a consumer's home.
