Consumer Credit Act 1974
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
123 Restrictions on taking and negotiating instruments.
(1) A creditor or owner shall not take a negotiable instrument, other than a bank note or cheque, in discharge of any sum payable— (a) by the debtor or hirer under a regulated agreement, or (b) by any person as surety in relation to the agreement. (2) The creditor or owner shall not negotiate a cheque taken by him in discharge of a sum payable as mentioned in subsection (1) except to a banker (within the meaning of the Bills of Exchange Act 1882). (3) The creditor or owner shall not take a negotiable instrument as security for the discharge of any sum payable as mentioned in subsection (1). (4) A person takes a negotiable instrument as security for the discharge of a sum if the sum is intended to be paid in some other way, and the negotiable instrument is to be presented for payment only if the sum is not paid in that way. (5) This section does not apply where the regulated agreement is a non-commercial agreement. (6) The Treasury may by order provide that this section shall not apply where the regulated agreement has a connection with a country outside the United Kingdom.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
