The Financial Conduct Authority has stated that it supports lenders making early settlement offers to drivers involved in the car finance mis-selling saga, BBC News reported on November 3, 2026. The regulator stated that early offers are acceptable as long as consumers do not receive a worse deal than under its planned central scheme. [1]
According to BBC News, the proposed central compensation scheme faces a legal battle scheduled to be heard in February. As a result, compensation payments under that official central framework are unlikely to be distributed until late next year. [1]
Barclays has confirmed that it will begin making early compensation offers immediately, BBC News reported. Other lenders are expected to follow, although the regulator anticipates that only a minority of total claimants will receive early offers prior to the outcome of the legal challenge. [1]
In short
- The Financial Conduct Authority supports lenders making early settlement offers for car finance mis-selling.
