National day of action: say ‘no’ to the wizard
Come and Protest against Motor Finance Wizard: Saturday June 28, 2008 at St Mary’s Dealership.
The Consumer Credit Legal Centre (NSW) is working with Consumer Action Law Centre in Melbourne, and other agencies throughout the country to organise a National Day of Action.
Most financial counsellors and consumer lawyers are aware of the practices of Motor Finance Wizard, a company that inflates the price of the vehicles it sells and then claims to give ‘interest-free’ loans. This practice not only misleads customers but allows the company to claim that they don’t have to comply with the Consumer Credit Code. The company also targets social security recipients and other low income earners, assesses ability to repay inadequately, and the cars are often in very condition.
People will be on hand to give out consumer information and material promoting their free, independent services and lawyers can join in giving free legal advice on credit, debt and related consumer issues.
And check out the photos of Consumer Action’s previous days out at Motor Finance Wizard in Melbourne (such as the one above).
I saw one of these today in Dandenong!
Good on these people for raising awareness.
It is great to see others protesting the vicious predatory nature of Motor Finance Wizard.
We have set up a website to help people express their opinions on MFW and hopefully help others who may be contemplating approaching this company.
The website is http://www.damnwizard.com
We welcome everyone to come and have a look at the site and if possible let us know of their dealings with MFW.
We would also welcome any ideas on how this company can be stopped and any future intended actions.
Hope to see you soon.
