Dealing fairly with customers: policy and procedures
Note: The rules on establishing and applying a policy and procedures for dealing fairly with customers apply (see MCOB 13.3).
If a customer falls into arrears, a firm must provide the customer with adequate information about the arrears in a durable medium:
as soon as practicable after becoming aware of that fact;
at quarterly intervals; and
before commencing action for repossession.
A firm may want to refer to the provisions on the information to be provided to a mortgage customer in relation to arrears for guidance (see MCOB 13.4 and MCOB 13.5).
Repossessions
Note: The rules regarding repossessions apply (see MCOB 13.6).
