FINANCE and INSURANCE COMPLAINTS:
On the 11 January 2024 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced https://www.fca.org.uk/news/statements/fca-undertake-work-motor-finance-market their intention to review historical motor finance discretionary commission arrangements across the motor finance industry.
To allow the FCA adequate time to conduct a full review of discretionary commission arrangement complaints a "pause" period has been implemented.
The Pause applies to Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCA) complaints received between 17 November 2023 and 25 September 2024. The pause means that our final response will not have to be issued until after 25th September 2024. We will however issue you with a prompt acknowledgement upon receipt of your complaint.
More information published by the FCA on the scope of the "pause" can be found at https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/car-finance-complaints.
