Editor's note:

ASIC retracts the statement about the proceedings commenced against Sunshine Loans Pty Ltd on page 71 of the Annual Report. To clarify, in its proceedings against Sunshine Loans, ASIC alleges that Sunshine Loans charged consumers additional fees, not permitted by the Code, in the form of an amendment or rescheduled payment fee. ASIC corrects the statement with the following:

On 6 June 2022, ASIC commenced action against Sunshine Loans Pty Ltd, in which ASIC alleged Sunshine Loans had received payment of $327,845.00 in prohibited fees from consumers in relation to small amount credit contracts. The National Consumer Credit Code limits the fees that may be charged under these loans to an establishment fee, monthly fees, a fee or charge that is payable in the event of a default and a government fee, charge or duty payable in relation to the contract. ASIC alleges that Sunshine Loans charged consumers additional fees, not permitted by the Code, in the form of an amendment or rescheduled payment fee.

ASIC will also publish a correction in next year’s annual report.
