You know that you should really educate yourself about your consumer rights – but it all sounds like a lot of hard work doesn’t it?
The Commerce Commission has developed a series of fun-to-watch animations aimed at helping you understand some of the big consumer and credit issues, and have a bit of a laugh at the same time.
The series, called It’s all good, follows Herman (a solo dad with a soft spot for big-ticket consumer products), Aunty (“one of Manukau’s sharpest legal operators”) and Marcus (a financial high-achiever with a heart).
In the first episodes Herman decides to get a loan to buy a high definition flat screen TV – conveniently forgetting that he’s already servicing several other loans, and oblivious to how much it’s all going to cost him.
Accompanying the series is a handy summary of key information that you need to know if you’re thinking of taking out a loan or buying stuff on credit, plus a list of organisations that can help if you need it.
If this whets your appetite for learning about your rights and obligations in a consumer credit contract, visit the Commerce Commission website for more.

A bit rough with edge details missing. Fine for a shed or a student flat. Will need a bit of a clean as has been used in a shed.
In the photo, everything is just balanced there to show what it looks like assembled. The sawhorse used in the middle would not be there once assembled.

In the photo, everything is just balanced there to show what it looks like assembled. The sawhorse used in the middle would not be there once assembled.
Has adjustable plastic feet.
Requires assembly and will need someone with DIY skills. Comes with brackets but you need to supply screws and work out suitable locations as the existing locations are a bit worn. This is not IKEA where all the holes are pre-drilled!
Blue walls are each 1460mm wide. Height of desk surface is 720mm.
Can deliver if you're desperate but you'll still have to assemble it.
