Contingent charges for financial services, such as fees for unauthorized overdrafts, are often controversial. We study the economics of contingent charges in a stylized setting with naive and sophisticated consumers. We contrast situations where the naive benefit from the presence of sophisticated consumers with situations where competition works to subsidize the sophisticated at the expense of the naive, arguably unfairly. The case for regulatory intervention in these situations depends in good part, but not only, on the weight placed on distributional concerns. The economic and legal issues at stake are well illustrated by a case on bank charges recently decided by the U.K. Supreme Court. (JEL D14, D18, G21, G28, L51)

There is a tug of authority in resolving insurance disputes outside the court between the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK) based on Law Nomor 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection with Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions (LAPS) based on Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014. This encourages the author to conduct legal research in order to determine the authority of BPSK in resolving insurance disputes as well as the legal consequences of the decision after the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014 using the statutory approach. This legal research results in the finding that BPSK is still authorized to settle insurance disputes following the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014, this is based on the provisions of the Lex superior derogat legi inferiori principle. Then there is no legal effect on the BPSK decision after the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation. This is because BPSK's decision has been based on Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, whose position is higher than the Regulation of the Financial Services Authority. So there is no need for BPSK to follow the provisions of the regulations whose hierarchy of legislation is lower than the Consumer Protection Act. Therefore BPSK's decision is "final and binding" as explained in Article 54 paragraph 3 of the Consumer Protection Act.

This chapter discusses the law governing intermediaries in the financial services industry. The relationship between the various species of intermediary and both the service provider and the customer, is prima facie governed by the rules of agency developed at common law, together with a statutory overlay. The Financial Services Act 1986 introduced the statutory concept of the appointed representative, which allowed regulated persons to appoint other persons for whom they accepted regulatory responsibility, and as a measure of consumer protection initiated a regime of vicarious responsibility, whereby the appointing principal was deemed responsible for everything said or done, or not said or done, by its appointed representatives. That regime was continued and expanded to the whole financial services industry by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

This chapter concerns the seven principal aspects of redress under the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) 2000. Redress may be due when the primary goal of consumer protection has failed to attain its objective and a customer suffers loss or inconvenience. This chapter considers the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) requirements for firms with regard to complaint handling. It also looks at the process by which disputes between retail customers and regulated firms can be brought to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the way in which the FOS will decide a dispute. The process by which a designated consumer body can bring complaints to the FCA regarding consumer interests, and the role of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), are explained. Finally, the role of consumer redress schemes, restitution orders, and other circumstances where consumers may obtain redress are explained.
