Frequently Asked Questions relating to Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCA)

What investigation are the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) undertaking?
The Financial Conduct Authority is reviewing historical car finance agreements focussing on Discretionary Commission Arrangements. Whilst these investigations are ongoing, the FCA announced a 37 week pause on the requirement for firms to respond to Finance complaints within an 8 week window. This pause will allow firms to take into account the outcome of this investigation in their responses. This pause has subsequently been extended to 4th December 2025.
What is a discretionary commission arrangement?
A discretionary commission arrangement (DCA) is where a lender allowed a dealer or broker to select the interest rate charged to the customer and where the commission paid was linked to the interest rate charged. The FCA banned discretionary commission arrangements (DCA’s) on 28th January 2021.
Does it matter when I took out my agreement?
Yes. If your agreement was taken out before April 2007, or after 27th January 2021, the FCA have confirmed that your agreement will not be within the scope of their investigation. DCA’s were banned on 28th January 2021 and therefore no finance agreement after this date involved a DCA.
Can you provide me with a copy of my finance agreement?

Evans Halshaw does not retain full copies of finance agreements on record. In the first instance you should contact your lender to assist you with this. Please see a list of lenders we work with, with contact details.
