our foundation

supporting the consumer credit industry for over 130 years

The Consumer Credit Trade Association (CCTA) is one of the oldest trade associations in the UK.

Established in 1891, we have a long and influential history. Our objective is to support and develop an effectively regulated alternative lending market. We strive to ensure responsible access to credit for all.

Our agenda sees us front and centre of consumer credit change, constantly challenging regulatory consequence, and ensuring our members have a voice where it counts.

The CCTA is a network of lenders and associates who share experience, knowledge and the vision of a balanced and transparent industry.

CCTA event formats

conference

Our conference is also open to non-members and takes place annually. The annual member dinner occurs the night before.

summit

We aim to run three Summit events each year, one of which is a physical event located in London. Summits are member-only events.

workshop

Workshops take place online and physically. They are scheduled in response to industry developments and are only open to members.

roundtable

Our roundtables allow participants to join in a lively debate, which is the core of these events. They also inform CCTA policy.

live learning

Live Learning events are only accessible to CCTA Academy users. Subjects are created in response to industry trends and events.

Pre-Contact
Information

Pre-Contract Information (PCI) is a legal requirement for lenders. It replaces the European version of the Standard European Consumer Credit Information (SECCI) and must be provided to consumers ahead of them entering into a regulated agreement. The PCCI provides the customer with key information in relation to features, costs and consumer rights for the product/service selected.

Electronic: Pre-Contract Information is a downloadable file (PDF and Word format). You will have access to a hard copy and electronic version. Files are in colour and use common system fonts.

Hard copy: Pre-Contract Information is printed in black and white on double sided A3 and folded to A4 size.

Inclusion: Pre-Contract Information is included in all our regulated credit agreements, regulated hire agreements and regulated lease agreements.

Version comparison

All of our agreements underwent a complete review in 2022, which covered both content and format. The layouts have also been adjusted to improve readability and usability. Font sizes have been increased throughout. We have also increased the line spacing and clearly defined each section of the agreement with sub-headings.

FAQs

Can I sign up to CCTA Academy if I am not a CCTA member?

Yes. The CCTA Academy is valuable to other lenders that operate in our sectors. So this service is available to non-members too.

However, you will be required to pay the full licence cost. The 50% discount is a member-exclusive benefit. Talk to us about membership.

Can we add additional users throughout the year?

Absolutely. We know that firms will have new starters throughout the year, or staff moving from one role to another, that may need to be signed up to CCTA Academy. We can add users whenever required.

Can I transfer a user licence from one member of staff to another?

We can look to transfer user licenses upon request.

Generally, this will depend on a number of factors, i.e. the use of the licence by the previous user. If the previous user has undertaken compliance training and earned all/most of the CPD credits, there will be little use in transferring a licence to a new user. Please discuss your requirements with us and we will try our best to accommodate where possible.

Which sectors does your compliance training currently cover?

Our core courses are all relevant to consumer credit.

However, our additional sector-specific courses are for the sectors in which our members operate. These include:

  • motor finance
  • retail finance
  • pawnbroking
  • guarantor loans
  • home-collected credit
  • high-cost-short-term credit.

How often are your courses updated?

All CCTA Academy courses are under constant monitoring. Where changes or updates are required, we will update the course as soon as practicably possible.

As a general rule, we also review our courses annually to ensure they remain up to date.

We also have plans to build out the library, and so we are always keen to hear suggestions.

Will your other members be able to see what training courses my staff are undertaking?

No. No other firm or person using CCTA Academy can see anything in relation to another member or firm.

Your staff will only see their own course progression. Only appointed senior managers of your firm can oversee their staff.
