The Federal Reserve recently announced it would adjust some credit products to keep pace with inflation. Industry press has reported that, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank regulatory overhaul, the Fed is raising the level for consumer credit and lease transactions that can be exempted by protections under the truth-in-lending and consumer leasing regulations. Next year, those protections will cover consumer credit transactions and leases of $51,800 or less, up from the current limit of $50,000.
