Information Request

The FCA is investigating motor finance agreements taken out between 6 April 2007 and 28 January 2021 in relation to discretionary commission arrangements across the motor industry.

The FCA are pausing the 8-week deadline for motor finance firms to provide a final response to relevant customer complaints. The pause will apply to complaints about motor finance agreements where there was a discretionary commission arrangement between the lender and the broker and will last for 37 weeks (approximately 9 months).

Consumers will have up to 15 months to refer their complaint to the Financial Ombudsman, rather than the usual 6 months. This extension applies to complaints where the firm sent a final response in the period beginning with 12 July 2023 and ending with 10 January 2024, or where the firm sends a final response during the period beginning with 11 January 2024 and ending with 20 November 2024.

The FCA is due to announce its findings on 24 September 2024.
