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.

97A Duty to give information on partial repayment
(1) Where a debtor under a regulated consumer credit agreement—
(a) makes a payment by virtue of which part of his indebtedness is discharged under section 94, and
(b) at the same time or subsequently requests the creditor to give him a statement concerning the effect of the payment on the debtor's indebtedness,
the creditor must give the statement to the debtor before the end of the period of seven working days beginning with the day following that on which the creditor receives the request.

(a) a description of the agreement sufficient to identify it,
(b) the name, postal address and, where appropriate, any other address of the creditor and the debtor,

(f) where the debtor is not entitled to any rebate, a statement to this effect,
(g) any change to—
(i) the number, timing or amount of repayments to be made under the agreement, or

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.
