The City watchdog has outlined fears that car buyers could be paying £1,000 over the odds in finance plan interest charges.
The Financial Conduct Authority said it was considering action to address commission models that were overcharging consumers to the tune of around £300m annually in total. It outlined conflict of interest concerns in the relationship between lenders, car retailers and other credit brokers. The regulator said they centred on models which allow brokers discretion to set the customer interest rate and thus earn higher commission.
Jonathan Davidson, the FCA's executive director of supervision, said:"We found that some motor dealers are overcharging unsuspecting customers over a thousand pounds in interest charges in order to obtain bigger commission"This is unacceptable and we will act to address harm caused by this business model.
