(48) At present, different authorities are entrusted with the authorisation and supervision of credit servicers and credit purchasers in Member States, and therefore it is essential that Member States clarify the role of such authorities and allocate adequate powers, especially as they might need to supervise entities engaged in providing services in other Member States. In order to ensure efficient and proportionate supervision across the Union, Member States should grant the necessary powers for competent authorities to carry out their duties under this Directive, including the power to obtain necessary information, to investigate possible infringements of this Directive, to handle borrowers’ complaints and to impose administrative penalties and remedial measures, including the withdrawal of authorisations. Where such administrative penalties and remedial measures are applied, Member States should ensure that competent authorities apply them in a proportionate manner and give reasons for their decisions and that, in addition, those decisions should be subject to judicial review including in cases where competent authorities do not act within the timeframes provided.
