CCMS Remedies

The LSB is responsible for the oversight of four of the industry led remedies which flowed from the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) final Credit Card Market Study report.

Previously a standalone set of remedies, from 8 April 2021, the requirements set out in the four remedies have also been incorporated into the Standards of Lending Practice for personal customers. While the remedies continue to represent an industry wide agreement, not all firms are signatories to the Standards of Lending Practice for personal customers
