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
49 Prohibition of canvassing debtor-creditor agreements off trade premises.
(1) It is an offence to canvass debtor-creditor agreements off trade premises. (2) It is also an offence to solicit the entry of an individual (as debtor) into a debtor-creditor agreement during a visit carried out in response to a request made on a previous occasion, where— (a) the request was not in writing signed by or on behalf of the person making it, and (b) if no request for the visit had been made, the soliciting would have constituted the canvassing of a debtor-creditor agreement off trade premises. (3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to any soliciting for an agreement enabling the debtor to overdraw on a current account of any description kept with the creditor, where— (a) the FCA has determined that current accounts of that description kept with the creditor are excluded from subsections (1) and (2), and (b) the debtor already keeps an account with the creditor (whether a current account or not). (4) A determination under subsection (3)(a)— (a) may be made subject to such conditions as the FCA thinks fit, and (b) shall be made only where the FCA is of opinion that it is not against the interests of debtors. (5) If soliciting is done in breach of a condition imposed under subsection (4)(a), the determination under subsection (3)(a) does not apply to it.

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.
