protected
Goods are protected under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 if acquired under a hire purchase agreement or a conditional sale agreement and one third of the price has been paid. In such circumstances, a court order is necessary in order to recover possession of the goods. Recovery without a court order will release the customer from all liability under the agreement and entitle him to repayment of sums paid.
