THE Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a major update in the car finance compensation scandal.
In a statement today, it said it will confirm whether customers could get redress within six weeks of a Supreme Court decision.
PAThe FCA has issued a major update on the car finance scandal[/caption]
Should a redress scheme go ahead, it could see those who bought a car, motorbike or van on finance before January 28, 2021 owed thousands of pounds.
The compensation case affects specifically those who were overcharged when they took out a loan to buy a vehicle.
Dealerships were incentivised to push customers towards pricier finance deals through what are called Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCAs).
A Court of Appeal ruling in October last year found that a broker could not lawfully receive commission from the lender without obtaining the customer’s fully informed consent to the payment.
The Court’s decision has been applead by car finance firms Close Brothers and Motonovo.
The Supreme Court, a higher court, is now considering the appeal.
The FCA will then confirm within six weeks of the decision of that appeal whether a consultation on a redress scheme will go ahead.
If it decides one will go ahead, it will set out the timings of that consultation.
Whether a redress scheme is put in place will be decided following the consultation.
The specific “final rules” of the scheme would also be set out including when redress is expected to be paid.
The FCA estimates this will in 2026.
It has also now confirmed how that redress scheme might be shaped, including seven “principles”.
These include fairness, certainty, timeliness and transparency.
Darren Richards, head of Broadstone’s Insurance, Regulatory and Risk Advisory division, said: “The update this morning from the FCA sets out some of the key decisions it is grappling with when it comes to implementing a redress scheme to deal with motor finance compensation.
“It is clear that the decisions behind the design of a redress scheme are complex and need to balance fairness for consumers and the integrity of the motor finance market.
“The message is that clear that preparation should continue – but executing redress will require consultation and there is a waiting game until the FCA concludes this process and provides details of the redress scheme.”

A BRIT mum has been ordered to ”go to Blackpool” after she moaned about the breakfast options at her all-inclusive hotel in Tunisia.

TIKTOK/@laurenhudson19Lauren later told viewers she was ‘fussy’[/caption]
Lauren jetted off to Tunisia with her family earlier this season and has regularly been sharing snaps on TikTok, sharing the sunny weather and poolside views.
However, after inspecting the breakfast options at the hotel, the mother said she wasn’t ”enjoying the food”.
The buffet menu consisted of a huge variety of dishes from the local cuisine, with heaps of veggies, scrambled eggs and more.
”God knows what it is,” Lauren could be heard saying in the video, as she walked viewers through the huge collection of meals.
Right next the different types of cereal Lauren also spotted eggs, a hearty porridge, a dish consisting of sausages and veggies.
”Doesn’t look very nice,” the Brit mum moaned.
Hungry holiday-goers also had the option to kickstart their day with a range of healthy fruit, including watermelon, dates and a pile of apricots.
Those keen to add more vitamins and minerals to their diet could also opt for a juice or indulge by the salad bar, with a range of dressings to choose from.
The all-inclusive hotel had also provided guests with several spreads, pastries and cornbread – to name a few.
In the end, Lauren went for one croissant, as well as fried egg, as she told viewers: ”I’m not enjoying the food.”
‘Go to Blackpool next time then’
Since sharing her thoughts online, Lauren has faced backlash, with her video racking up 260k views and more than 1,300 people flooding to comments where they slammed her.
One person reminded the mum: ”Different country different cultures, we don’t offer Tunisian breakfast in English hotels, see how this works?”
Another agreed, writing: ”You are in another country with other cultures – not sure travel is for you if you can’t adapt – embrace it you will discover new favourites.”
”Yeah, if you are just wanting full English breakfasts stay in England or go to Benidorm. You won’t like many other place,” a third advised.
”Go to Blackpool next time then,” someone else urged.
”Looks like a lot of different options there. What else did you need?” a baffled viewer wondered.
Hitting back at the critics, Lauren responded: ”I’m just fussy I guess.”
Experts weigh in on whether you should reserve your sunbed with a towel on holiday
EVERY summer, hotels become the sites of frantic battles, as guests try to reserve the best loungers with their towels first thing in the morning.
But etiquette and elegance expert Katarina, who shares her expert opinions about manners on TikTok at @katarina.etiquette, says people need to be less selfish and more considerate of other hotel guests.
In the footage, she said: “If you’re staying at a hotel, avoid blocking the sunbeds if you’re not planning on staying. It’s disrespectful toward other guests.
“Unless the hotel has a reservation system in place, only occupy the sunbeds when you’re staying by the pool.”
Renowned etiquette expert, William Hanson, believes there is a 30-minute grace period on poolside reservations.
This is where hotel guests can use a towel or a book to reserve a spot for no longer than half an hour.
William told the Sun Online Travel: “In the morning, at the start of the day, and you’re by the pool after breakfast, then it’s fine at 8.30 to put your towel on the bed to reserve your spot.
“But later on in the day after you’ve used the lounger, and go off for a massage, for example, which is going to be an hour, then you can’t use a towel to reserve the sun lounger.”
He said: “It also gives your towel time to dry off.”
William said despite the grace period, “You can’t hog the sun lounger for the entire day.”
Meanwhile, Laura Akano, the Principal Coach and Trainer at Polished Manners doesn’t believe holidaymakers have a right to reserve a lounger at all.
She told the Sun Online Travel: “I think it should be a first come first serve basis – if the resort doesn’t have a booking system.”
‘No English food’
Brit nan Susan Edwards, from Westerhope, Newcastle upon Tyne, jetted off in May with three cousins and her daughter for a seven-night stay at the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel on the Greek island.
They were looking forwards to a week of relaxation, but the ordeal was “horrendous from the minute they got there,” Susan said.
She told Chronicle Live there was “no English food” on the all-inclusive menu and she was “sick to death of looking at rice” by the end.
The grumbling gran was also dismayed at only being offered chips “one day out of the whole lot” during her £750pp week-long stay.
Now the hotel’s manager, Makis Triantafyllos, has hit back – alleging Susan’s complaints were a ruse to claw money back.
He told The Sun: “From the very beginning of her stay, [Susan] demonstrated clear intent to fabricate complaints in pursuit of financial compensation, going as far as to complain about the weather.”
He alleged she demanded to know from the staff: “Why is it raining?”
The manager claimed Susan’s attitude had been “sarcastic and dismissive” to staff who did their best to accommodate her.
The hotelier also fiercely defended the menu, saying the food service is “generous and diverse, offering fresh salads, fruits, hot and cold dishes daily”.
He fumed that Susan’s account of the food was “entirely false and disrespectful to our culinary staff”.
And as for the “no English food” dig – Makis said the Sun Hotel offers “world-renowned and beloved Mediterranean cuisine” with other options tailored to guests’ preferences – including those from the UK.
