Consumer Protection and Fair Trading Act

There is a law in Singapore called the Consumer Protection and Fair Trading Act (CPFTA). This law, which was passed in 2003 did not apply to financial products initially. It was extended to include financial products in 2007.

Many consumers have lost a lot of money due to unfair trading imposed by financial institutions and intermediaries. They should get a lawyer to see if these parties have infringed the CPFTA. If you are not able to engage a lawyer, you can do some research on your own or get assistance from FISCA.

If you have done some research and wish to share your views with other consumers, please send them to kinlian@gmail.com.
