The FCA proposes rules for firms performing activities in relation to pre-2004 first charge CCA mortgages.

Why the FCA are issuing this consultation paper?

Prior to 31 October 2004, first charge mortgages were regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (the CCA) if they fell below the relevant CCA financial threshold. In November 2015 the Government made legislation that will make the administration of these mortgages a regulated mortgage activity from 21 March 2016 and the CCA will then no longer generally apply.

This consultation paper sets out our proposed rules for firms performing activities in relation to these mortgages, which we refer to as ‘pre-2004 first charge CCA mortgages’.
