“A credit broker administration fee and the interest payable on it were properly included in the charge for credit within the meaning of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 and the Consumer Credit (Total Charge for Credit) Regulations 1980, and accordingly, since those items did not form part of the amount of credit as set out in a loan agreement made between parties in 2005, that amount was correctly stated and the agreement was enforceable.”
