**(a) Informed use of credit** The Congress finds that economic stabilization would be enhanced and the competition among the various financial institutions and other firms engaged in the extension of consumer credit would be strengthened by the informed use of credit. The informed use of credit results from an awareness of the cost thereof by consumers.

§ 1601. Congressional findings and declaration of
purpose
(a) Informed use of credit
The Congress finds that economic stabiliza-
tion would be enhanced and the competition
among the various financial institutions and
other firms engaged in the extension of con-
sumer credit would be strengthened by the in-
formed use of credit. The informed use of credit
results from an awareness of the cost thereof by
consumers. It is the purpose of this subchapter
to assure a meaningful disclosure of credit
terms so that the consumer will be able to com-
pare more readily the various credit terms
available to him and avoid the uninformed use
of credit, and to protect the consumer against
inaccurate and unfair credit billing and credit
card practices.
(b) Terms of personal property leases
The Congress also finds that there has been a
recent trend toward leasing automobiles and
other durable goods for consumer use as an al-
ternative to installment credit sales and that
these leases have been offered without adequate
cost disclosures. It is the purpose of this sub-
chapter to assure a meaningful disclosure of the
terms of leases of personal property for per-
sonal, family, or household purposes so as to en-
able the lessee to compare more readily the var-
ious lease terms available to him, limit balloon
payments in consumer leasing, enable compari-
son of lease terms with credit terms where ap-
propriate, and to assure meaningful and accu-
rate disclosures of lease terms in advertise-
ments.
