(ii) discouraging reckless credit granting by credit providers and contractual default by consumers.
(d) promoting equity in the credit market by balancing the respective rights and responsibilities of credit providers and consumers.
(g) addressing and preventing over-indebtedness of consumers, and providing mechanisms for resolving over-indebtedness based on the principle of satisfaction by the consumer of all responsible financial obligations;
(h) providing for a consistent and accessible system of consensual resolution of disputes arising from credit agreements; and
(i) providing for a consistent and harmonized system of debt restructuring, enforcement, and judgment, which places a priority on the eventual satisfaction of all responsible consumer obligations under credit agreements.”
