What are consumer credit agreements?

Consumer credit agreements can be regulated or unregulated. Determining status requires considering the interplay between the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) and its secondary legislation, the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA 1974) and its secondary legislation, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook, including the Consumer Credit sourcebook (CONC). Numerous detailed exemptions are set out in the Financial Services and Markets Act (Regulated Activities) Order 2001, SI 2001/544 (RAO)
