Under the terms of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, in order for loans or other Credit Agreements to be legally binding they need to be drawn up correctly. If this is not the case, then the Credit Agreement could be deemed unfair and unenforceable. In other words, the lender cannot legally enforce the terms of the contract on the borrower. Effectively, this means that if a Credit Agreement is rendered unfair, then the borrower has no obligation to uphold the terms of the contract and the lender cannot challenge them for non-payment.
For many years, people have been challenging Credit Agreements because they do not conform to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Consumers have successfully challenged lenders all the way to the House of Lords. The first example, and that which set a precedent was that of Wilson and Others v. Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (2003).
