The Finance & Leasing Association (FLA) has said it welcomes the new rules for Claims Management Regulation by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
A consultation paper on the rules which include fines for companies using unsolicited calls and texts to establish payment protection insurance claims was published on Thursday 21 November.
Stephen Sklaroff, director general of the FLA, said: "We welcome the Government’s recognition of the need for more stringent and effective regulation of Claims Management Companies in order to reduce the incidence of spurious and ill-founded claims."
The rules and paper follow an assertion by the MoJ in the summer this year to ‘step up’ action against malpractice by claims firms.
