TCPA is a recognised association within the credit industry where information is shared within the ambit of the relevant statutory acts
Since its inception in 1960, The Creditors' Protection Association (TCPA) has continuously strived to be the most informed and recognised association in the credit (FMCG / Pharmaceutical) industry. We make it our business to keep abreast with developments in the industry to ensure that our members receive the high standards, respect and dignity they deserve. The Association places great emphasis on networking and sharing information through various mechanisms:
Monthly & Quarterly Meetings
TCPA holds monthly and quarterly meetings where professional speakers address members on important issues, and share information on new developments.

TCPA understands that its members value their customers highly, so we ensure our processes are always transparent and our members have access to information, support and assistance where necessary.

our achievements speak for themselves
You can be confident your business is in good hands with TCPA's high success record of assisting members through turbulent times.
Dispute Resolution
TCPA has been very successful in settling disputes for members, in particular financial collapses of retailers. Very favourable terms have been negotiated which, without TCPA intervention, would have been unattainable.
Court Recognition
TCPA has achieved unofficial and, in one reported instance, official recognition by the courts as a body that represents the interest of reputable creditors. It has also been recognised by the Master of the Supreme Court, and has the capacity to liaise with that office when appropriate.
Trade Negotiation
Without reference to individual suppliers, TCPA has been able to make a unified approach to various groups of retailers to negotiate with them clarification of trading positions. This would not have been possible for individual suppliers without TCPA involvement.
Trustee Cooperation
TCPA has acquired trustee recognition and cooperation when it has intervened in a matter.
Influence on Legislation
TCPA has managed over the years to secure a status where it has been able to submit memoranda and evidence to authoritative bodies such as the Commission, which has resulted in the amendment of legislation e.g. the Insolvency Act.
