The coalition and our association recommend that credit advertising and the canvassing be banned. If people want to obtain credit, they should apply to a financial institution. In addition, more education on the subject of credit is needed; money management classes should be reinstated in our schools; our associations should be equipped to offer more educational and preventive services free of charge to the public, and finally — we can always dream — credit agencies should be obliged to invest in education programs, just like those who sell alcoholic beverages.
