The general public are invited to attend this meeting
Buying and borrowingcan sometimes
cause problems.
This is what Ontario is doing
to protect you.
There are basic common sense rules for
buying and selling. Unfortunately, people
don't always know these rules or follow
them, and that allows unscrupulous sellers
to take advantage of people.
Common sense is your best defence. But
you have another defender, too. Two pieces
of legislation have been passed by your On-
tario Government in order to help you.
The Consumer Protection Act is designed
to protect you from problems that may arise
when you buy goods or services, or borrow
money. It is administered by the Consumer
Protection Bureau, which also handles
complaints and inquiries about question-
able business practices, and it controls:
• registration of itinerant sellers (i.e., door-
to-door salesmen)
a contracts over $50 where delivery of
goods, services or payment has not been
completed
® full disclosure of credit terms
• special discounts for getting friends to
buy (referral selling)
® unsolicited goods (including unsolicited
credit cards)
® false or misleading advertising
• penalties for offences
The Consumer Reporting Act is another law
designed to protect you. It gives you the
right to know what credit and personal in-
formation about you is on file with com-
panies, and an opportunity to have inaccu-
racies corrected, and prohibits consumer
reporting agencies from using information
unless it is stored in Canada. According to
this Act, you are entitled to request in writ-
ing that the contents of your file and the
sources of information be disclosed to you.
Your Ontario Government has also pre-
pared two easy -to -understand booklets
that describe the Consumer Protection Act
and the Consumer Reporting Act. The book-
lets explain these two important Ontario
laws more fully.
