This study examines the implementation of consumer protection in fintech lending through District Court Decision No. 438/Pid.Sus/2020/PN Jkt.Utr and evaluates the effectiveness and fairness of the legal framework under POJK No. 77/POJK.01/2016, POJK No. 18/POJK.07/2023, and the Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 27 of 2022). Using a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, comparative, and case approaches, the research analyzes how these regulations ensure legal certainty and justice for consumers.
