Requirements Under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, we must not enter into a credit contract with you, or increase the credit limit of a credit contract with you, if the contract is unsuitable for you. The contract will be unsuitable for you if, at the time the contract is entered into or the credit limit is increased, it is likely that: • you will be unable to comply with your financial obligations under the contract, or could only comply with substantial hardship; or We must make an assessment whether the contract will be unsuitable for you before entering into a credit contract with you or increasing the limit of an existing credit contract.
