CCTA reflects: FCA motor finance consultation and potential impact

Smaller motor finance lenders are facing the toughest test in years.

The FCA’s proposed motor finance redress scheme will reach back almost two decades, affecting millions of old agreements. What I am hearing from many smaller motor lenders is that the number of eligible compensation cases might be very low, but the costs of the scheme could be very high.

CCTA

For the biggest lenders, it is a complex project. For smaller, independent firms, it is existential.

These businesses don’t have vast data teams or in-house lawyers. Every change means buying in expertise, diverting time and money from serving customers – often the very customers that mainstream lenders overlook.

When smaller lenders disappear, communities lose more than a business name. They lose local decision-making, personal service, and access to credit that algorithms might have denied.

That’s why the CCTA is gathering insight from across the market – members and non-members alike — to understand what the redress scheme will mean in practice.

We are hearing that banks and carmakers are reaching out to the Government.

If you are a lender, broker, or adviser with a view on the challenges ahead, we  would really value your perspective.
