National Credit Regulator commissions an investigation into various credit providers
regarding shortfalls arising from the sales of repossessed consumers' motor vehicles
and houses
The National Credit Regulator (NCR) has announced that it is commissioning an investigation
into various credit providers regarding shortfalls arising from sales of consumers' repossessed
motor vehicles and houses by credit providers.
The investigation is part of the effort by the NCR to ensure that credit providers sell consumers'
repossessed motor vehicles and houses as soon as reasonably practicable or for the best price
reasonably obtainable.
"Credit providers should ensure that they sell consumers' repossessed motor vehicles and
houses as soon as reasonably practicable or for the best price reasonably obtainable so that
consumers are not liable to pay shortfalls that are substantially high. This is an issue of serious
concern to the NCR, says Nomsa Motshegare, Chief Executive Officer of the NCR. "
