Definition of consumer credit
Consumer credit refers to the ability of a person to borrow money. This is usually done through a credit card or a loan from a bank. The law has rules to protect people who borrow money, and these rules are different in each state.
- Using a credit card to buy something and paying it back later with interest.
- Taking out a loan from a bank to buy a car or a house.
- Getting financing from a store to buy furniture or appliances.
These examples show how people can use consumer credit to buy things they need or want, but they have to pay back the money with interest. The law has rules to make sure that people are not taken advantage of by lenders.

Consumer credit refers to the ability of a person to borrow money, usually through a credit card or loan from a bank or merchant. Laws have been created to protect consumers and ensure that they have access to fair and adequate credit. These laws include regulations on interest rates, fees, and the disclosure of financial terms. The Consumer Credit Protection Act and the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act are two federal laws that regulate the consumer credit industry. States also have their own laws, such as the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, to protect consumers.
