Junk Mail Publishing has been criticised for publishing adverts using phrases like "blacklisted", the National Credit Regulator said on Wednesday.

"Junk Mail published adverts with statements such as 'blacklisted clients welcome, blacklisted... we can help'," NCR CEO Nomsa Motshegare said in a statement.

I'm assuming the same thing wrong with this

Other phrases that were not accepted were "no credit checks required" and "free credit".

I still don't get why it's wrong. Are they trying to prevent people who have been blacklisted from getting credit? The authorities I mean?

Credit Providers cannot legitimately offer credit without checks and to blacklisted people,thus the furore

Exactly. We're all one potential trauma, accident, act of god, illness etc away from being blacklisted no matter how prepared or capable we are.
