FCA backs car finance settlement offers while compensation scheme stays suspended

The FCA has set out what it expects from motor finance lenders that want to make early settlement offers to customers owed redress while the compensation scheme is partially suspended pending court challenges. Barclays Partner Finance will offer some customers now. The regulator published a mandatory consumer factsheet and survey evidence that most complainants want the choice to settle sooner.

  • Lenders may make settlement offers now, but the FCA expects offers of no less than a customer would receive under the compensation scheme.
  • Accepting an offer is final: customers keep any money even if courts later imply less, but cannot claim more, and offers cannot be taken to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
  • Firms must give customers an FCA factsheet and are expected to notify the regulator before making offers; the FCA will list participating lenders online.
  • Barclays Partner Finance has confirmed it will make settlement offers to some customers owed compensation.
  • The scheme remains partially suspended, with legal challenges due to be heard between 16 February and 3 March 2027; firms must keep progressing complaints meanwhile.

FCA opens FSCS compensation route for former Verus Financial customers

The FCA is directing former customers of failed adviser Verus Financial Services Limited to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which has opened claims following an investigation. The notice sets out how to claim, how Ombudsman complaints interact with FSCS claims, and warns against using claims management firms or third parties.

  • Verus Financial Services Limited has not held permission to carry out any regulated financial services activity in the UK since 2025.
  • Verus cannot sell, transfer or reduce its assets without approval from the FCA.
  • FSCS has placed Verus under investigation and is now open to receive customer compensation claims.
  • Customers with an existing Financial Ombudsman complaint must still separately file a claim with FSCS, though no evidence resubmission is needed if their file is transferred.
  • The FCA states most of Verus's former clients will see no benefit from involving a third party, including claims management companies, in making a claim.

Washington DFI tells consumers how to dispute credit report errors

A consumer-facing blog post from Washington's Department of Financial Institutions walks through what to do when a credit report shows an account, balance or inquiry a consumer does not recognise. It covers investigation, the dispute process with credit reporting companies, and when to escalate to DFI.

  • Consumer Reports found that more than one in 10 people have inaccurate information on their credit report that could affect their score.
  • AnnualCreditReport.com recommends identifying the disputed item, explaining why it is believed inaccurate, and submitting supporting documents.
  • Consumers should keep original documents and save copies of everything sent to or received from disputed parties.
  • Disputes can be filed both with the credit reporting company and with the company that furnished the disputed information.
  • Washington DFI says it may assist if a dispute goes unresolved and the financial service provider falls under its authority.

Instacart to pay $5 million over hiring practices that favored visa holders

This item covers a joint DOJ Civil Rights Division and EEOC settlement with Instacart resolving citizenship-status and national-origin discrimination claims tied to the company's PERM visa sponsorship recruitment. It matters to employers running PERM processes, since the case turns on a narrow but common recruitment practice that regulators treated as discriminatory.

  • Instacart will establish a settlement fund of up to $4,000,000 for applicants and deterred applicants affected from December 2023 to February 2026.
  • Instacart will pay $1,000,000 in civil penalties to the United States, separate from the compensation fund.
  • Investigators found Instacart required physical mailing of applications for PERM-advertised positions, departing from its standard electronic application process.
  • Instacart must post PERM positions on its public career website, accept electronic applications, train staff and submit to monitoring and reporting requirements.
  • This is the fifteenth settlement under the Protecting U.S. Workers Initiative and EEOC's fourth public settlement under Project Firewall since 2025.

MAS moves to make FIDReC dispute scheme mandatory for payment institutions

MAS wants to close a gap left since the Payment Services Act commenced in 2020, when payment firms were exempted from the independent dispute-resolution requirement that binds other retail-facing financial institutions. This consultation extends FIDReC membership to major and standard payment institutions, flags stablecoin issuers for later inclusion, and sets out how onboarding fees, case fees and levies will be worked out through 2027.

  • All MPI and SPI licensees under the Payment Services Act 2019 would be required to subscribe to FIDReC under a new limb in Part 1 of the Second Schedule to the DRS Regulations.
  • MAS-regulated stablecoin issuers will be added as a further amendment after the stablecoin regulatory framework comes into force; MPI/SPI members who later acquire a stablecoin licence need not reapply.
  • Money-changing licensees are excluded because of simple business models, smaller sums handled and complaints that typically concern service and exchange rates rather than financial loss.
  • Subscribing PSPs will pay an initial onboarding fee, case fees per eligible dispute and an annual general levy, with the framework to be settled with industry over 2027.
  • Since the Shared Responsibility Framework took effect to 30 June 2026, FIDReC received 416 claims against e-wallet providers and handled 141, of which 99% concluded at mediation and 1% required adjudication.
