Lead generators for debt management firms are not subject to regulation directly, but the FCA requires regulated debt management firms that accept leads from lead generators to satisfy themselves that the business has been procured fairly and in accordance with relevant legislation, including the requirements of the Data Protection Act and the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations. Debt management firms must ensure that lead generators calling on their behalf make clear the identity of the firm, and the purpose of the communication, so the consumer can decide whether to proceed. Additionally, at first contact with a customer, debt management firms must signpost consumers to the availability of \u2018free\u2019 debt advice.

The Government has fundamentally reformed regulation of the consumer credit market, including the debt management industry, by transferring regulation from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on 1 April 2014.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government welcomes the binding rules the FCA has placed on debt management firms, including new prudential and client money requirements to better protect consumers\u2019 money.<\/p>

<\/p>

Under the new regime the FCA has robust powers to protect borrowers \u2013 there is no limit to the fines which the FCA can levy and it can require firms to provide redress to consumers.<\/p>

<\/p>

The FCA will thoroughly assess every debt management firm\u2019s fitness to trade as part of the authorisation process. The debt management industry has been called forward first for authorisation, from this October.<\/p>
