Consumer/Retail FCA consults on extending guidance on cancellations and refunds On 12 February, the FCA published a consultation on guidance on cancellations and refunds, specifically regarding helping consumers with rights and routes to refunds. The FCA explains that on 2 October 2020, it published temporary guidance setting out its expectations for insurance providers and card providers to reduce consumer confusion and frustration by outlining its expectations of firms to provide more information and make the consumer journey easier. Currently, the guidance is effective until 2 April. In the consultation, the FCA proposes that the guidance remain in place during the exceptional circumstances arising out of Covid-19 until varied or revoked. The deadline for comments is 26 February.
