Our scheme is the quickest, fairest and most efficient way to compensate consumers. It is disappointing that some have decided to challenge it and delay consumers getting their money back, when for many the payouts would be very welcome this year as they face rising household bills. This also prolongs the uncertainty for all involved, which is not good for investment or a healthy motor finance market.
We are considering our approach and will set out more later this week.
