Commissions Disclosure

Marshall Contract Hire is a trading style of Drivespeed Leasing Limited

Introduction to Commission Disclosure

If a credit broker (including motor dealers) receives a commission, then the FCA expects that under the CONC 4.53R that any disclosures of commissions, fees or other remunerations are in made in a timely manner before a good credit agreement or consumer hire agreement is entered into.

Section 4.53R of the CONC states that:

‘At the request of the customer, a credit broker must disclose to the customer, in good time before a regulated credit agreement or regulated consumer hire agreement is entered into, the amount (or if the precise amount is not known then the likely amount) of any commissions or fee or other remuneration payable to the credit broker by the lender or owner or a third party’.

The FCA has made it clear that ‘commission’ means any financial considerations.

The existence of commission is communicated to all Drivespeed Leasing’s customers prior to completing their application.  This is disclosed, in the Initial Disclosure Documents which is sent out to a customer along with their vehicle hire quote and included on the website.
