Speaker 1 (00:02):
Thousands of Australians could be owed a total of $20 million for interest-free loan offers from Harvey Norman and Latitude Finance. A class action against the retail and finance giants is underway in Brisbane’s Supreme Court. Lawyers say between five and 10,000 customers were given 60-month interest-free deals with hidden fees and charges.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We say they were misled. We say they must be repaid all those extra funds plus the late fees they incurred on any late payments.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The matter will return to court in June.
