Britain’s FCA consults on motor finance complaints extension

Published : 2 weeks ago, on

LONDON (Reuters) – The Financial Conduct Authority is seeking feedback on proposals to give lenders more time to handle complaints on non-discretionary motor finance commissions, after a recent legal ruling widened the number of customers they may need to compensate.

The regulator has previously extended the time firmshave to respond to motor finance complaints involving a discretionary commission arrangement (DCA).

The watchdog said on Thursday it would consult on two options for extending the time companies have to provide final responses to motor finance complaints, to give them more time to handle an expected deluge effectively and to prevent disorderly, or inconsistent, outcomes for consumers and firms.

The first option is until May 31 2025. This reflects how long it may take to hear whether the Supreme Court has granted lenders permission to appeal against an October ruling which said was unlawful for car dealers to earn a commission from lenders on motor finance without obtaining customer consent.

The judgment related to fixed commission motor finance agreements as well as DCAs, which the FCA banned in 2021.

A longer extension until December 4 2025 has also been proposed, to align with the current rules for motor finance firms dealing with discretionary commission complaints.
