The BVRLA’s Compliance Forum returns on Wednesday 12 November, with the packed agenda spanning non-financial misconduct, the FCA’s redress consultation, and what is in store for 2026.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has created a data room during the consultation period for the Motor finance consumer redress scheme.

The final series of BVRLA Forums for 2025 are coming up, with the opportunity for non-subscribers to ‘try before you subscribe’ for 2026.

Last week’s Leasing Broker Conference brought together over 200 delegates to share ideas, insights, and perspectives on the future of the sector. With the title ‘Scaling Smart: Business Growth in a Regulated Landscape,’ the thread throughout the event was smart, sustainable business growth in an ever-evolving regulatory environment.

The Financial Conduct Authority has joined forces with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to address poor practices among some claims management companies (CMCs) and law firms involved in motor finance claims.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published its consultation paper relating to the motor finance redress scheme that follows August’s Supreme Court ruling. The consultation will run until 18 November with an expectation that the scheme will be operational early next year.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published its priorities under Consumer Duty for 2025/2026. The regulator makes it clear that the Duty remains a priority for its work and is relying on the Duty as much as possible rather than creating new prescriptive rules.

Registrations will shortly close for next week's Leasing Broker Conference. Members wishing to attend the event next Thursday (9 October) need to confirm tickets this week.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) wants to make applications to become FCA authorised quicker and easier for firms.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is preparing to launch an industry-wide redress scheme aimed at compensating consumers affected by historic unfair motor finance practices. This marks a significant regulatory intervention, with wide-ranging implications for Firms across the sector. While the concept of a redress scheme will be covered in a separate document (link at the bottom of this page), we have asked Luis Hernandez at S&W Partners to prepare some insights which focus on the practicalities, expected scope, and what Firms should be doing now to prepare for the scheme when it comes.

On Thursday 9 October, the BVRLA Leasing Broker Conference will take place at Coventry’s Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC). The packed agenda is designed to help brokers navigate today’s regulatory challenges while seizing fresh opportunities for growth.

The BVRLA’s second Compliance Forum of the year took place earlier this week at Shoosmiths in Birmingham. As ever, the latest changes and developments impacting the regulatory landscape were explored, with a host of expert speakers identifying where technical changes impact BVRLA members and their operations.
