Private individuals are protected unless the loan exceeds what amount?

The concept being tested is whether a consumer loan to a private individual falls under the protection of the Consumer Credit Act. Private individuals are protected only for credit agreements that are regulated, and there is a monetary threshold that defines when a loan remains within that regime. The limit is sixty thousand two hundred sixty pounds. If the loan amount is at or below this figure, the agreement is regulated and the individual enjoys the protections under the Act; if it exceeds this amount, the loan is not subject to the same regulatory protections. The other figures don’t represent this threshold, so they don’t indicate the point at which protection ends.
