Petrie, The new Ontario Consumer Pro- tection Act, which comes in to force on July 31st, helps everyone who buys on credit by obliging the lender, or seller, to make a written statement of the true cost, of credit.This provision, and others in the Act, will not relieve the consumer of his normal respon- sibilities of shopping carefully and choosing wisely; but it will make it easier for him to make the right decisions. Disclosure of the cost of borrowing In all time payment transactions the borrower must be given 'a written note of the cost of borrowing, both in dollars and cents, and as an annual percentage rate, before credit is granted. The lender must also set down any charges he in- tends to make if the borrower should default on payments. Cooling-off Period This new ruling applies to sales made by itinerant sellers, which is the Act's name for sellers who operate away from their permanent place of business, and who make a charge to the buyer for the privilege of buying on time. A contract made with an itinerant seller can now be cancelled by the buyer, pro- vided he does so in writing and delivers the cancellation to the seller personally, or by registered mail, within two work- ing days of the contract being signed. If he cancels in this way, the buyer must return any goods already supplied, and the seller must return any money or trade-in which he may have received. The trade-in does not become the seller's property until the two-day cooling-off period has elapsed without the buyer cancelling the contract. RagistratiOn of itinerant sellers As from July 31st, 1967, all itinerant s:!ers as defined by the Act must reg- ister with the Consiirt-31. Protection Bu- reau. If the seller is a company or a partnership, only the company or part- nership must register, not the individual employees. Inform'ation to be contained 'in a contract Under the new Act, certain important details must be written into all contracts for the sale of goods or services to a consumer, when the purchase price is $50 or over. To be binding, the contract must comply with the Act and must be signed by all parties, who must each receive a duplicate original copy. Repossession If the buyer should default after two- thirds of the purchase price has been. paid, the seller cannot repossess with- out permission of a judge. Penalties Substantial penalties are provided for contravention of the Act and its Reg- ulations. Lenders and sellers who are likely to be affected are urged to make themselves familiar with the. Act. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Borrowers and buyers should bear in mind that nothing in the new Act relieves them of the responsibility of making careful decisions when considering a loan, or a purchase on credit. Keep this notice as a re- minder of your rights. Information on borrowing,andoncreditbuying; is contained in a leaflet which can `be obtained from the Consumer Protection Bureau, 123 Edward Street, Toronto 2. Lenders and sellers should make themselves familiar with the Act and its Regulations. The Consumer ,Protection Act 1966 and Ontario Regulation 207/67 (25C each) can be obtained from the Queen's) Printer, 26 Breadalbane Street, Toronto 5.
