The problem
Your consumer credit activities will now be covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service. While this gives consumers greater protection, it means your business will now need to:
- Have a written procedure in place for handling complaints.
- Be able to demonstrate that the procedure complies with the new rules.
- Make all new customers aware of its existence
- Ensure all new complaints relating to consumer credit are investigated in accordance with the prescribed rules and timescales
- Ensure any complaint is investigated by a person with the skills and expertise to do so
- Inform the complainant of their right to take the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service if they are dissatisfied with your response.
-
The dangers
Fail to observe these new legal requirements, and you could face:
- Losing your Consumer Credit Licence
- A legally binding award against you from the Ombudsman - of up to £100,000
