Consumer Credit Division
The Consumer Credit Division issues seventeen different license or registration types across several sectors of the non-depository financial services market.
In addition to its licensing authority, the Consumer Credit Division also administers various laws related to consumer credit issues. Administrative orders relating to consumer credit issues may be found on this website.
Connecticut is one of five states that the Federal Reserve Board exempts from the federal Truth in Lending Act. This permits local enforcement of the Truth in Lending Law.
