Which document is described as regulating credit-related activities?

Credit-related activities are regulated by the Consumer Credit sourcebook, the Consumer Credit section of the FCA Handbook. This document specifically lays out the rules for firms that provide credit to consumers—lending, credit broking, debt collection, and related conduct—covering how they must treat customers, disclosure requirements, and licensing. While the overarching FCA Handbook governs all regulated activities and the Consumer Credit Act provides the statutory framework behind consumer credit, CONC is the part that directly describes how credit-related activities are regulated in practice. The Banking Act, by contrast, focuses on banks and banking regulation, not consumer credit.
