<p><p>While Financial advisers are getting more compliant and regulated, it is a great opportunity for the government and relevant regulatory body to look at the real estate and credit advisers.</p>
<p>Due to lack of regulations, the amount of commissions and remuneration that mortgage brokers, real estate agents, private credit company's are enjoying has been unnoticed or merely neglected.</p>
<p>The worst is private credit company where they lend money to people to manage their debt or buy white goods, for an unimaginable interest rates. There is no clients best interest duty in this by putting clients into further deep debt and stamping with bad credit history. Why is this? Has the government taken any initiative towards this... and please tell us what is it...?</p>
<p>At the clients best interest, even these people make a big difference in building debt in the clients financial future.</p>
<p>So I would like to urge everyone to look into this space of the financial sector, just not speculate but take initiative to build a regulatory body for this part of financial services industry.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
