FLA comment on FCA confirmation of further support for motor finance customers

Commenting on the FCA’s statement today which confirms further support for motor finance customers, Adrian Dally, Head of Motor Finance at the FLA said:

 “We welcome the fact that the FCA has given greater prominence and emphasis to the message that those customers who can resume full or partial payments should do so.

 “This is particularly important to prevent customers accruing unsustainable levels of debt, but also to allow further support to be given to those most in need.”
