Borrower’s Right

The law requires that a Creditor must alert a customer before blacklisting him/her with CRB. At times this does not happen.

This lead to the introduction of a regulatory government body called the Credit Information Sharing [CIS] which looks deeply into unfavorable situations in the Credit industry.

CIS formed a constitutionally recognized help center named Tatua Center which offers free services to place and resolve disputes with CRB and creditors
