Submission on Consumer Guarantees (Right to Repair) Amendment Bill
A right to repair can lower the risk of financial hardship arising where repairs become available as a more cost-effective and timelier alternative to replacing goods.
FinCap has provided comment on the Consumer Guarantees (Right to Repair) Amendment Bill.
In a letter of support for Consumer New Zealand's submission on the bill, FinCap demonstrated how a right to repair may help whānau working with financial mentors.
These financial mentors are looking for sustainable ways forward for whānau to manage their out-of-control finances. A right to repair can empower and motivate whānau who are on a journey to sustainable finances.
