Consumer Credit Act 2006
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.

6 Statements to be provided in relation to fixed-sum credit agreements
After section 77 of the 1974 Act insert— Statements to be provided in relation to fixed-sum credit agreements 77A (1) The creditor under a regulated agreement for fixed-sum credit— (a) shall, within the period of one year beginning with the day after the day on which the agreement is made, give the debtor a statement under this section; and (b) after the giving of that statement, shall give the debtor further statements under this section at intervals of not more than one year. (2) Regulations may make provision about the form and content of statements under this section. (3) The debtor shall have no liability to pay any sum in connection with the preparation or the giving to him of a statement under this section. (4) The creditor is not required to give the debtor any statement under this section once the following conditions are satisfied— (a) that there is no sum payable under the agreement by the debtor; and (b) that there is no sum which will or may become so payable. (5) Subsection (6) applies if at a time before the conditions mentioned in subsection (4) are satisfied the creditor fails to give the debtor— (a) a statement under this section within the period mentioned in subsection (1)(a); or (b) such a statement within the period of one year beginning with the day after the day on which such a statement was last given to him. (6) Where this subsection applies in relation to a failure to give a statement under this section to the debtor— (a) the creditor shall not be entitled to enforce the agreement during the period of non-compliance; (b) the debtor shall have no liability to pay any sum of interest to the extent calculated by reference to the period of non-compliance or to any part of it; and (c) the debtor shall have no liability to pay any default sum which (apart from this paragraph)— (i) would have become payable during the period of non-compliance; or (ii) would have become payable after the end of that period in connection with a breach of the agreement which occurs during that period (whether or not the breach continues after the end of that period). (7) In this section ‘the period of non-compliance’ means, in relation to a failure to give a statement under this section to the debtor, the period which— (a) begins immediately after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (a) or (as the case may be) paragraph (b) of subsection (5); and (b) ends at the end of the day on which the statement is given to the debtor or on which the conditions mentioned in subsection (4) are satisfied, whichever is earlier. (8) This section does not apply in relation to a non-commercial agreement or to a small agreement.

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.
