Who are the NCT?<br />

The National Consumer Tribunal or NCT, for<br />

short, was created in 2007 to assist with various<br />

aspects of consumer protection and the<br />

National Credit Act. For example, if the National<br />

Credit Regulator find a registrant - like a bank or<br />

Debt Counsellor - is breaking the National Credit<br />

Act they can take them to the NCT and ask for<br />

a big fine or even deregistration. Consumers<br />

can also apply to the NCT for help with<br />

various things like when a credit provider<br />

refuses to send you a statement. An order<br />

from the NCT is seen the same as an order<br />

from a High Court.
