(To be fair, it's been going on for 2 years.) This case relates to a Federal Court finding brought by ASIC in mid-October against Harvey Norman that it and third party finance entity Latitude offered fraudulent 60 month interest free guarantees. To be eligible for the advertised "60 month interest free" window, consumers – who didn't find this out until they were in-store, and couldn't have figured it out even after reading smallprint – had to purchase a GO Mastercard. That required customers to pay an establishment fee, and then recurring account management style fees. In other words: that breaches the claim the company was offering 60 months interest free. Cue ASIC's involvement. All in all, Harvey Norman on Tuesday provided the ASX with a copy of a court declaration it had received from the Federal Court where Justice Yates of the Federal Court noted Harvey Norman has 15 days from today to appeal proceedings. The ultimate outcome will be a financial penalty for the company, charged by ASIC itself.
