Woodsford Litigation Funding is backing an Australian class action against banking giant ANZ on behalf of credit card holders who were charged interest by ANZ from 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2018. The class action, filed in the Federal Court of Australia, alleges that ANZ’s “interest-free” credit card contracts contained unfair terms and that ANZ engaged in unconscionable conduct causing loss and damage to ANZ credit card holders. The claim alleges that, during the eight-year period, ANZ charged interest to customers retrospectively on credit card purchases that previously had the benefit of an interest-free period, also known as Retrospective Interest. The claim further alleges that ANZ did not provide transparent instructions to its interest-free credit card customers of the method in which it charged Retrospective Interest and that customers had no way to determine the amount of Retrospective Interest they would pay.
