Multiple Choice

Who is protected by the CCA and CONC?

These rules are about protecting consumers—people borrowing for personal, family, or household use. The CCA and CONC set out lenders’ obligations and borrowers’ rights in consumer credit agreements, aiming to ensure fair terms, clear disclosures, and responsible lending when the borrower is a private individual. Because of that, private individuals are the group these protections are designed for. In automotive finance, this means a loan or hire purchase tied to a car bought for personal use falls under these protections. If the borrowing is for business purposes (a limited company, charity, or local authority buying the car for work), it typically falls outside consumer credit protections and may be subject to different rules.
