(e) Clauses 23 to 26: Amendments to the Debt Collectors Act, 1998: The Committee raised a general concern that persons who land themselves in debt often have to pay enormous amounts of interest when repaying their debts. The Department is requested to report back on how the Debt Collectors Act is intended to address this problem and whether its provisions are adequate in this regard, and if not, what further measures can be put in place to ensure that the Act achieves its goals.
