TCPA

Always challenging the boundaries to make the credit industry a safer space to navigate.

We've made it our mission to be the most recognised and informed association within the credit industry

To realise this vision The Creditors' Protection Association knows that it must serve in its members' best interests. This means we will always share information about the credit (FMCG / Pharmaceutical) industry with our members, and we will stand by them when support is needed. Take a look at some of the ways we achieve this whilst keeping within the scope of the relevant statutory acts.

TCPA holds regular board meetings.

The Creditors' Protection Association has the benefit of being formed from the merging of two independent bodies. Having similar visions and members, their combined expertise has resulted in a formidable Association with strong membership.
