Illustration for Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003

In the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003, you need to know what some terms mean. An infringement fee is the amount you have to pay, up to $2,000, when you get an infringement notice for doing something wrong. This amount is decided by regulations made under section 105F. An infringement notice is a special notice you get when you do something wrong, and it is issued under section 105C. The notice has to be in a certain form, which is also decided by regulations made under section 105F. You can find more information about infringement offences in section 102A.
