Chapter 1
Summary
1.1 In Consultation Paper (CP) 23/21 we proposed introducing three new Product Sales Data
(PSD) returns into Chapter 16 of the Supervision manual (SUP 16). These returns will allow us to collect more detailed data about the consumer credit market from providers of consumer credit products. With this additional data, we will be able to supervise firms and monitor markets more effectively, enabling us to identify and prevent significant harm in the consumer credit market.
1.2 This policy statement (PS) summarises the feedback we received on our proposals and
our response, as well as setting out our final rules and guidance for incorporating the three new PSD returns into SUP 16. Who this affects
1.3 The rules in this policy statement will be of interest to:

a firm engaged in consumer credit lending
a firm that advises, represents, or provides software to support compliance with
regulatory reporting for any of the above firms Context
1.4 We took over responsibility for consumer credit regulation from the Office of Fair
Trading in 2014. Since then, we have required consumer credit firms to provide us with periodic regulatory returns on their regulated consumer credit activities. From these returns, we have mainly collected aggregated data for those activities. Where we have required further information, we have acquired ad hoc data from firms via separate information requests supplemented by external sources of data.
1.5 CP23/21 proposed to introduce three new PSD returns requiring firms to provide
detailed information on the initial sale, and ongoing performance, of individual agreements. With this enhanced data, we will be able to better understand how firms operate and gain further insight into the market. This will allow us to authorise and supervise firms more effectively. It will mean we can intervene more quickly and boldly where we have identified risk of harm in the consumer credit market.
1.6 This additional data will also reduce our reliance on ad hoc requests for more information
from firms; thereby, reducing operational burden and costs to those firms over time and to our supervisory resource.

4
How it links to our objectives
1.7 Our proposals advance our operational objectives to:

secure an appropriate degree of protection for consumers (by informing our
identification and assessment of risks to them and prevent harm);
protect and enhance market integrity (by allowing us to make quicker and bolder
decisions so the market keeps functioning well); and
promote effective competition in the interests of consumers through enhancing
our ability to monitor the market
1.8 We consider these proposals are compatible with our secondary international
competitiveness and growth objective. While we do not expect our proposals to materially affect the international competitiveness of the UK economy, our proposals aim to improve market integrity and prevent consumer harm, which should encourage consumer trust and confidence in the UK’s consumer credit market resulting in long-term sustainable economic growth. This also supports our aim to facilitate the Government’s objective of medium to long-term economic growth as set out in the Treasury’s December 2022 remit letter. What we are changing
1.9 We are introducing three new PSD returns to collect more granular information about
the sale and ongoing performance of consumer credit products, including:
Sales PSD
Performance PSD
Back book PSD
1.10 Lenders will submit sales and performance data on a quarterly basis so we can monitor
the ongoing performance of agreements through the full life of the agreements. For agreements entered into prior to the firms’ first reporting period, lenders will submit back book data as a one-off submission.
1.11 We will collect the following data as part of the Sales and Performance PSD returns,
including limited agreement and borrower data in the Back book collection:
Core agreement data
Borrower and affordability data
Charges and fees
Arrears and forbearance
1.12 Firms will also need to comply with the complete and accurate reporting provisions as
set out in SUP 16.3.11R and SUP 16.3.12G.
1.13 Chapters 2 and 3 of this policy statement explain in more detail our rules, how they will
operate, and the timeframes for their application.

5
Outcome we are seeking
1.14 In line with our ambition to become a data-led regulator, we want to deliver a data-led
supervision approach for the consumer credit market. PSD data will help us monitor whether firms are acting to deliver good customer outcomes in line with the Consumer Duty.
1.15 It will allow us to monitor and inform our supervision of compliance against our
Handbook standards, specifically the rules and guidance in our Consumer Credit Sourcebook (CONC), Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls (SYSC), as well as our Vulnerable Customer Guidance (VCG).
1.16 Collecting PSD data will allow us to analyse and monitor the consumer credit market
and the competitiveness of its firms and products. This will enable us to identify and act against problem firms and outliers, to reduce and prevent serious harm in the consumer credit market.
1.17 The new rules and guidance should mean that firms will spend less time dealing with
reporting queries. We believe that the experience for firms will improve as the need for unscheduled data collections will significantly reduce. Measuring success
1.18 The new PSD returns aim to improve the information we receive to help us achieve
our objective of reducing and preventing consumer harm. To measure this, we will continually assess the quality of the information we receive through internal feedback from colleagues across supervision, enforcement, and policy. In addition, we expect to see quantitative improvements in:

the time taken between identification of issues and mitigating actions from firms
the proportion of supervisory interactions with firms which lead to mitigating
actions
reduction in the average value of redress over time due to earlier identification of
harm
1.19 We also aim to reduce our supervisory resource and operational burden on firms for
providing transactional data by issuing these new comprehensive returns. To measure this, we expect to see a reduction in the number of ad hoc information requests we issue to firms both in terms of multi-firm data collections and those we make to individual lenders for data as part of Supervisory interactions.
1.20 We will continue to consider any queries or concerns from firms regarding the new
data reporting requirements as they arise. This will help ensure that changes are appropriately understood, and any misunderstandings regarding the data reporting will be addressed in a timely manner.

Summary of feedback and our response
1.21 We received 42 consultation responses to CP23/21 including from the main trade
associations which responded on behalf of their members. Our final measures have been informed by the feedback. They have also been informed by extensive engagement with lenders and trade associations throughout the process, including via an interactive webinar with 168 attendees and workshop sessions following the consultation period.
1.22 We have made some changes in response to consultation feedback to make our rules
clearer or more effective. These include:

Thresholds to report PSD returns: following feedback from firms and subsequent
analysis, we have decided to raise the threshold for firms to report PSD to us from £500K in outstanding balances and/or new advances to £2m. This will reduce the heightened burden of reporting on smaller firms, while in our view maintaining sufficient coverage of the markets we regulate (See relevant sections in Chapters 2 and 3).
Implementation period: respondents were concerned that the proposed
timelines for the introduction of PSD reporting were too short and would be difficult to meet. Following this feedback and additional analysis, we have increased the implementation period as follows:
We have extended the implementation period so that large firms (£20m plus) have
14 months and small firms (£2 - £20m) have 20 months, to make the impact more proportionate (See relevant sections in Chapters 2 and 3).
Improvements to the structure and content of the data elements: we have
provided more clarity around data definitions to address the points raised in the responses and by the industry working group. We have removed some data elements from the return and provided additional guidance to support understanding (See relevant sections in Chapters 2 and 3).
1.23 Based on the feedback received we have increased the overall number of data elements
across the three returns to better align with the range of practice across industry and particularly the different type of products offered. Some of these additions allow for certain data elements to be provided in different ways (eg gross or net income) while others will be used to validate whether one, or many, other data elements are required to be provided. Equality and diversity considerations
1.24 Under the Equality Act 2010 we are required by the public sector equality duty to have
due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination and other conduct prohibited by that Act, to promote equality of opportunity in carrying out our policies, services and functions and to foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not.

7
1.25 Prior to consulting we considered the equality and diversity issues that may arise from
the proposals and did not think they gave rise to any concerns. The data collected will help us identify harm and take appropriate action in the future, which will benefit consumers in general.
1.26 We did not receive any feedback on these considerations, and our assessment remains
unchanged. We do not consider that these rules and guidance materially negatively impact the groups with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Next steps What you need to do next
1.27 If your firm is affected by these changes, you need to ensure you meet the requirements
of the new rules so that your reporting is in line with the changes set out in this policy statement. You will need to implement the changes within the timescales as set out in
Appendix 1 Handbook Text and highlighted in Chapter 3 Thresholds section.
What we will we do next
1.28 We will continue to engage with industry throughout the implementation period and
provide additional supporting information where appropriate.
1.29 In addition to the implementation of the PSD returns we will also be proposing changes
to the activity-based regulatory returns, looking at these activities in a phased approach. We anticipate further consultations on the data we collect on the consumer credit market over the next two years.

Chapter 2
Key issues raised through consultation
2.1 In this chapter, we discuss key issues raised through the consultation and where we are
changing our proposals in response to that feedback.
2.2 Overall, firms and their representatives recognised the potential benefits from
collecting the new data but some raised concerns that the scope and timings would be challenging, particularly for smaller firms and considering legacy systems.
2.3 In response to those concerns, we set out in this chapter the proposals where we have
made important changes intending to reduce the burden on firms and improve their ability to provide the data.
2.4 We provide full details on the feedback we received to our proposals and our response in
Chapter 3.
Threshold for reporting
2.5 In CP23/21, we proposed requiring firms to report once they reached thresholds of
£500k in outstanding balances and/or more than £500k in new advances for relevant regulated consumer credit agreements.
2.6 Following feedback that our thresholds were too low, we undertook further analysis
looking at the comparative revenues of firms in scope based on potential changes to the level of the threshold. We also considered the impact of changing the threshold level on the benefits we expect from receiving overall market level data as well as data across different individual products.
2.7 Our analysis indicated that firms just above the threshold in the consultation would,
on average, see expected implementation costs of over 50% of relevant annual revenue. We have decided to increase the threshold on which firms start reporting the information to £2m in outstanding balances and/or £2m in new advances for relevant regulated consumer credit agreements. This new threshold significantly reduces the average proportion of revenue that implementation costs would make up and therefore reduces the impact of the proposals on industry to a more proportionate level.
2.8 Since market share is concentrated to the largest lenders, we anticipate that raising
the threshold will still enable us to collect data on the majority of new lending across all significant consumer credit lending products. However, we will see a reduction in the number of firms who will provide us with data for certain products, most notably in the high-cost lending sector and firms offering regulated loans for business purposes.
2.9 We are concerned by the lack of data we would have available for high-cost lending
products given the increased risk of financial difficulty and harm to consumers of these products. To mitigate this, we intend to retain PSD006 (Short Term Loans) for those firms offering High-Cost Short Term Credit or Home Collected Credit products that fall

9 below the threshold for completing the new PSD returns. This will enable us to maintain some visibility of these products without increasing the cost to these firms who are already reporting the information. Firms no longer in scope of the proposed returns should anticipate that some ad hoc collections will continue to be required. Implementation timelines
2.10 We proposed firms would need to submit their back book and sales data by 31 March
2025 followed by performance data due 30 June 2025. However, many respondents were concerned these timelines would be too short and difficult to meet. As with the threshold feedback, this was most pronounced among smaller firms.
2.11 In addition to our analysis of firm revenues across different potential thresholds, we also
used survey data to better understand the firms who were likely to rely on third party providers or have limited numbers of people dedicated to data and compliance. This analysis highlighted that firms with between £2-20m in outstanding balances and/or between £2-20m in new advances for relevant regulated consumer credit agreements were significantly more impacted in both financial, and non-financial, resources than those firms over £20m.
2.12 Based on this analysis, we have increased the implementation period so that large firms
(£20m plus) have 14 months and small firms (£2 - £20m) have 20 months to prepare. There are changes for firms in scope when this Policy Statement is released and those firms who will come in scope at some point in the future. Examples Example 1 (small firm currently in scope) A firm’s most recent CCR003 submission covering an annual reporting period ending on 31 January 2024 stated that they have £4m in outstanding lending and £3m in new lending. This firm’s first reporting period will be Quarter 1 2026. The sales data will be due by the 30/04/26, the performance and back book data will be due by the 15/05/26. Back book data will cover the period up to Quarter 1 2026. Example 2 (large firm currently in scope) A firm’s’ most recent CCR003 submission covering an annual reporting period ending on 31 January 2024 stated that they have £110m in outstanding lending and £39m in new lending. This firm’s first reporting period will be Quarter 3 2025. The sales data will be due by the 28/10/25, the performance and back book data will be due by the 11/11/25. Back book data will cover the period up to Quarter 3 2025.

10
Example 3 (small firm in scope at a later date) When this policy statement is issued a firm is under the threshold and out of scope. A CCR003 submission covering an annual reporting period ending on 31 December 2025 states that they have £4m in outstanding lending and £3m in new lending. This firm’s first reporting period will be Quarter 3 2027. The sales data will be due by the 28/10/27, the performance and back book data will be due by the 11/11/27. Back book data will cover the period up to Quarter 3 2027. Example 4 (large firm in scope at a later date) When this policy statement is issued a firm is not undertaking any lending activities. They start lending to consumers and purchase a large book of loans from an existing firm. A CCR003 submission covering an annual reporting period ending on 31 December 2025 states that they have £110m in outstanding lending and £19m in new lending. This firm’s first reporting period will be Quarter 1 2027. The sales data will be due by the 28/04/27, the performance and back book data will be due by the 13/05/27. Back book data will cover the period up to Quarter 1 2027. Benefits
2.13 We received feedback asking for more clarity around the benefits of the new PSD
returns.
2.14 Collecting this data and the level of detail it provides will enable us to better understand
the sector, the range of consumer credit lending products available and how they are performing in the interests of consumers. With this information, we can more efficiently target our supervisory and policy work to where the risk of harm is heightened and act more quickly to protect consumers.
2.15 Using this detailed information, we can link lending products’ features to better
understand how consumer outcomes differ between firms, products or even within the same firm. This will help us determine whether poor outcomes are due to substandard product features and help identify consumer outcomes through the implementation of our Consumer Duty rules. Where these issues are the same across firms offering similar products, we will be able to develop evidence-based policy or competition remedies.
2.16 The new returns will also enable us to break down agreements by a range of
characteristics so we can undertake detailed analysis in a much more targeted way. This will enable us to identify issues quicker and ascertain the scale of those issues, including identifying other firms and agreements which show similar characteristics. This improved understanding will enable us to target our firm engagement more precisely and intervene more quickly to prevent or reduce potential harm.
2.17 Collecting such detailed data also means we are not limited to pre-defined categories
which can fail to capture innovative new products entering the market and associated risks to consumers.

11
2.18 More than 3,500 firms have permission to offer lending products and more than 30,000
firms have permission to introduce customers to these lenders. The PSD return will allow us to have a much clearer understanding of those lenders who offer more than 99% of credit products to customers and the tens of thousands of firms who form part of the customer journey. Combining this data with the analytical tools we already use, we will be able to avoid significant manual and time-consuming work allowing us to be more efficient in how we target our interventions to mitigate harm to consumers.
2.19 Regulated consumer credit firms should also benefit from these returns. Analysing
aggregate data collected from a range of different products often means that data can be misinterpreted, or insights are drawn from limited information. Detailed data throughout the agreement lifecycle provides clarity on outcomes and leaves less room for misinterpretation. This clarity should reduce the need for regulatory interactions where firms are seeing good consumer outcomes and limit the need for extended engagement to understand what is happening.
2.20 As we will be able to identify and assess emerging issues more accurately, we will be able
to target our work more effectively and reduce the need for Supervisory engagement during the diagnostic stage of our work. It will also lead to a reduction in the number, and complexity, of ad hoc data requests we issue.
2.21 In the medium term, we intend to publish a high-level view of the market in line with our
publications of other PSD Returns. We expect this information to be a valuable resource for industry in terms of understanding the wider market and their position within it as well as identifying areas for growth and improving competition. Data Elements
2.22 Through our engagement, and the feedback received, we identified a range of areas
where:

particular data elements would not be relevant for some products
information firms held did not align with the way we proposed to collect the data
the information, as set out in the consultation, would require significant changes to
firms’ systems, or customer interactions, to provide it
there was potential for ambiguity in what should be reported
2.23 Changes have been made to data elements in each of the 3 returns to mitigate the
challenges raised and increase the likelihood of receiving high quality and consistent data, while reducing the burden on firms which would be felt from forcing them to align their systems and processes with the proposed data elements.
2.24 These changes have had the effect of increasing the total number of data elements,
compared to those consulted on, by 68. However, these changes will improve the alignment of the returns with industry practice and have a positive effect in reducing the impact of implementing the returns for most firms.

12
2.25 Examples of changes to data elements include:

borrower’s residential and employment status – to enable firms to report at the
level of granularity they hold this information
income and expenditure information held in relation to the creditworthiness
assessment – to enable firms to declare the extent of the assessment undertaken and only supply the data held, removing the need to make changes to their existing processes
net or gross income values – to enable firms to submit data in the format they
currently have it and avoid making changes to existing processes
has a default notice taken effect – to reduce data elements for agreements which
have defaulted
2.26 As well as these additional data elements, more options have been included in the codes
available for submission throughout the 3 returns to allow firms to report in line with their existing categorisations of data. We have also provided the opportunity for firms to select ‘unknown’ where they don’t currently collect the data in the format of the other options available.
2.27 The cost benefit analysis (CBA) has been updated to reflect the increased
familiarisation/gap analysis costs. A significant proportion of the additions to the instrument are clearer and more detailed guidance, so while it may take longer to read, it should reduce the time taken to understand and interpret the fields based on feedback from firms.
2.28 The outcome of these additions and amendments should improve the ability of firms
to submit the reports to us on an ongoing basis and reduce the need for systems and process changes as a result of these new returns. GDPR/Personal Data
2.29 Questions were raised around the need to collect personal data. Guidance was
requested on the implications of the PSD return in terms of GDPR impact and how the FCA can provide assurance to firms on the safeguarding of the data.
2.30 We are mindful of our obligations under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, to
observe the principles of purpose limitation and data minimisation and all data reported to us is processed in line with our privacy notice. Our proposed requirements on data collection, reporting and disclosure have been reviewed against the UK GDPR and we consider our proposals to be consistent with our obligations under the legislation. We have also consulted with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in line with Article 36(4) of the UK GDPR on this matter. They have raised no concerns with our approach. Firms are not required to make disclosures that breach any laws applicable in the UK or the laws of another jurisdiction, including the UK GDPR. Firms should comply with data protection legislation where personal data is processed for the purpose of being shared with the regulators.

13
2.31 Where possible we have limited the personal data to be collected. Some feedback raised
concerns about the need to collect the customer’s postcode and date of birth and whether collecting the customer’s age would be sufficient. In response to this query, it is important to note that date of birth is not exclusively used to understand levels of lending, or agreement outcomes, for different age ranges. The combination of the date of birth and postcode is important to enable us to match the data between sales records and those relating to the performance, help us understand cross product holdings where customers have multiple loan products and how these are used in combination. It will also help us match the PSD data with other data sets including those used for Mortgage sales and the data we collect through our Financial Lives Survey, which will enable us to better understand things like potential vulnerability or customer sentiment.
2.32 We received 9 consultation responses with specific feedback on collecting information
where a lender had flagged the customer as vulnerable and the increased risk of this sensitive data. This was also raised by firms as part of ongoing engagement. We considered the risk against the potential benefit we may see from collecting this information, especially where there are a range of ways that firms identify customer vulnerability. We agree that the risks potentially outweigh the benefits and have removed this data element from the return.

14
Chapter 3
Detailed consultation feedback
3.1 This Chapter summarises all the feedback received on the proposals we set out in
CP23/21 to introduce 3 new Product Sales Data (PSD) returns into Chapter 16 of the Supervision manual (SUP 16). Reporting thresholds Question 1: What are your views on our proposals for reporting thresholds? Feedback received:
3.2 While some responses noted that our proposed thresholds of £500,000 in outstanding
balances and/or more than £500,000 in new advances are proportionate, the majority indicated that these thresholds are too low and should be set higher given the resource implications to firms due to the sheer volume of data required.
3.3 Respondents acknowledged the need for the FCA to have supervisory oversight of sales
and performance of credit agreements. However, they raised concerns that proposed thresholds do not achieve an appropriate balance between the requested data for the FCA to supervise effectively without placing a considerable reporting burden on firms, driving costs upwards.
3.4 Moreover, respondents noted that our proposed threshold would include many smaller
firms that do not have the staff or financial resources to comply with the suggested reporting requirements. Some respondents were therefore also concerned that smaller firms would consider not reporting and opting for non-compliance, delivering poor outcomes to consumers. Our response:
We understand firms’ concerns about the proposed thresholds and the potential burden for smaller firms. Following consultation, and further engagement and analysis of different threshold levels as noted in Chapter 2, we have made changes to the thresholds from the proposed £500,000 in outstanding balances and/or more than £500,000 in new advances for relevant regulated consumer credit agreements to £2m, respectively. To inform our decision, we also undertook analysis to compare firms reported regulated revenue compared to the value of their lending. We also used survey data we held which identified whether firms’ compliance or data functions were resourced by an individual, a team or third party providers which not only identified where third party support was likely to be required but also to act as a proxy for the resource impact these returns

15 would be likely to have. This analysis identified that firms with lending lower than a £2m threshold were more likely to be significantly impacted and the cost of implementation would make up a higher proportion of firms’ revenue which would increase the prudential risk to these firms. In light of this we considered the impact on our objectives and the potential decrease in the benefits anticipated from these returns. We estimated that while we may lose up to 300 individual firms compared to the threshold consulted on, the overall market coverage, as well as within individual products, would remain over 90% and we would still get detailed insights on the most impactful firms across the range of products we regulate. The biggest losses would be in the Home Collected Credit (HCC) and small business lending markets. These estimates are set out below. Market coverage of firms in scope Threshold £2m Credit Cards Cash Loans Motor Finance Retail Finance Pawn broking HCSTC HCC Asset Finance SME Lending Firms in scope 90% 56% 51% 23% 11% 33% 3% 21% 18% Reduction from £500,000 threshold 3% 14% 20% 36% 59% 34% 80% 52% 58% Value of outstanding lending 100% 100% 100% 100% 85% 93% 71% 95% 95% Volume of outstanding lending 100% 100% 100% 98% 81% 92% 65% 91% 98% Value of new lending 100% 100% 100% 100% 91% 97% 69% 96% 96%

16
3.5 We were also mindful of the retraction in HCC lending over the last few years and
the potential impact this has on access to credit to customers who may need it the most. The evidence provided in support of the potential financial impact these returns would have on HCC firms indicated that for over a third of firms the projected cost of implementation would be greater than 75% of their annual profit, including some where it was over 100%. In others the money to pay for the changes would come at a cost of reducing their ability to lend to new or existing customers.
3.6 While we consider it important to collect data on these firms, and the reduction in
the number of firms submitting the data will reduce our ability to use the data for the widest supervisory work possible, our intention is for these new returns to balance the proportionality of the burden on firms in providing it with the benefits to consumers from us receiving it. The scale of lending offered by the smallest firms and the propensity for these firms to offer single, or lower complexity, product offerings means that alternative approaches to collecting information (such as through PSD006 or ad hoc collections at an aggregate level) may provide a more proportionate option.
3.7 Based on these findings we have made changes to the thresholds from the proposed
£500,000 in outstanding balances and/or more than £500,000 in new advances for relevant regulated consumer credit agreements to £2m, respectively. Of the eight responses we received proposing alternative thresholds, six of these are at, or lower than, the £2m we now propose.
3.8 This information is reported to the FCA every 6 or 12 months via a CCR003 return.
Firms that breach the threshold will be characterised in one of two categories, either ‘Threshold 1’ or ‘Threshold 2’.
3.9 The section below outlines the thresholds:
3.10 To be characterised within the Threshold 1 or 2, a CCR003 (in which the reporting period
ended on or after the 01 April 2023) must meet the following criteria:
Threshold 1
An annual total value between £2m-£20m for:
Outstanding relevant regulated credit agreements. (This corresponds to column A Total Value and will exclude row 11 which relates to Overdrafts.) And/or New advances for relevant regulated credit agreements (This corresponds to column E Value of new advances in period and will exclude row 11 which relates to Overdrafts.)

17
Threshold 2
An annual total value of £20m+ for:
Outstanding relevant regulated credit agreements. (This corresponds to column A Total Value and will exclude row 11 which relates to Overdrafts.) And/or New advances for relevant regulated credit agreements (This corresponds to column E Value of new advances in period and will exclude row 11 which relates to Overdrafts.) Thresholds will be used to phase the implementation timelines for Threshold 1 or 2 firms. Any CCR003 returns provided prior to 01 April 2023 will not be used.
3.11 Threshold 1 and 2 firms will be further categorised into:

Category A - reported in accordance with SUP 16.12.29CR in respect of an annual
period ending on a date between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024
Category B - reported in accordance with SUP 16.12.29CR in respect of an annual
period ending on a date after 31 March 2024
3.12 Based on the above thresholds and categorisation, the significant milestones are:
Threshold Category Reporting period Due date sales Due date performance and back book 1 A 01/01/26-31/03/26 30/04/2026 15/05/2026 1 B Seventh calendar quarter following the quarter in which the firm first reported in accordance with SUP 16.12.29CR

20 business
days from end of reporting period
30 business
days from end of reporting period 2 A 01/07/2025 - 30/09/2025 28/10/2025 11/11/2025 2 B Fifth calendar quarter following the quarter in which the firm first reported in accordance with SUP 16.12.29CR
20 business
days from end of reporting period
30 business
days from end of reporting period
3.13 Where the first PSD returns have been submitted, a firm is required to continue
providing PSD data for sales and performance, on a quarterly basis, every year.
3.14 A firm reporting annual total value under £2m in both outstanding and new advances for
relevant regulated credit agreements is not required to submit PSD data.

18
3.15 Based on these details, you should now:

check which threshold your firm falls within
check which category you are in, based on when you first reported within threshold
1 or 2
identify the reporting periods and due dates applicable to your firm
prepare for submission of PSD data
Data items
Question 2: Do you agree with the proposed data items set out in
Appendix 1? If not, which items don’t you agree with and
why?
Question 3: Will any of the proposed data items cause practical issues (eg the proposed format of the data, the timelines of the proposed back book data collection)? If so, please provide details Feedback received:
3.16 As noted in the ‘Data elements’ section of Chapter 2, most respondents commented
that the extent of the data elements is too broad and it is difficult to understand how this quantity of data will produce better outcomes for consumers.
3.17 While some respondents acknowledged that the proposed returns are designed to
cover a wide range of credit options, they pointed out that a significant amount of the data fields are not relevant for certain products. Respondents requested an updated document with a description for each point so that firms could better understand each question, including how to approach sections that are not applicable.
3.18 One respondent advised that the proposed quarterly sales and performance data
submissions do not cause any significant practical issues; but given the requested application-level data structure, the volume of data will be significant.
3.19 Other respondents asserted that the majority of the proposed data items will cause
severe practical and operational issues. They argued that the time required to collate this information will be too burdensome to make some loans worthwhile, thereby excluding some potential customers. They also pointed out that IT systems would require extensive upgrading to handle this level of data, and this would be a substantial cost, disproportionately for smaller businesses. For example, one smaller firm noted it currently manages data requests via spreadsheets. Our proposals would require them to implement an extensive IT system in addition to our Consumer Duty requirements.
3.20 We were asked to consider how this data will be transferred to the FCA and whether
quarterly is too frequently for accurate and effective analysis of the data once received.
3.21 Regarding performance data collection, the majority of respondents support
performance collection through accounting periods/scheduled payment, though some

19 respondents were concerned about the practicality of being able to provide this data. We have also received requests to clarify the following:

what this reporting should look like and more clarity around what potential output
of the analysis is expected
as not all products have a monthly statement, more clarity on what is meant
by ‘end of accounting period’ ‘across accounting period’ and ‘end of statement period’.
provide greater clarity in respect of a number of data points included to the PSD
return requirements
3.22 We were asked to explicitly define and clarify what we mean when referring to
‘terminated’ accounts because this language can often be used to describe an account that has been ‘charged off’ by a lender and the account is defaulted.
3.23 Feedback has suggested that agreements in default would not require a large amount of
performance data to be provided so we should consider having a streamlined version of the return for these agreements. Likewise, debt purchase firms noted the return may be problematic for them given the large books they hold with often limited information.
3.24 We received a request from one firm to clarify whether we expect the data submission
at each quarterly reporting period to include reporting on the account performance at the end of each monthly accounting period / scheduled repayment period within the quarter.
3.25 Respondents advised that the data request may drive firms to collect additional data
from their customers. There were concerns that asking for additional information could make the application process longer and add unnecessary sludge to the process, which would be at odds with the Consumer Duty principles. Our response:
We understand firms’ concerns about some of the proposed detail. However, for the majority of data elements we propose to collect, we expect most firms to collect this, or something closely aligned to it, already. To reduce the burden on firms, we have amended a number of the data items to provide for a range of response options. This will allow firms to align their response to what is already collected as closely as possible. We do not expect firms to collect data covering every option or significantly increase the information required in applications from consumers. We have made a range of amendments, by addition or omission, to the data elements based on the feedback we have received. These amendments will have the benefit of improving the ability of firms to provide data, to the level of granularity expected, in line with the way they currently collect and store it. To allow this flexibility additional questions have been included for firms to confirm how their data is held - in order to then provide the data in the most meaningful way for them.

20
The full extent of data elements in the return is required to capture meaningful data on all agreements across the wide range of different products that make up consumer credit. While this appears to create large volumes of data, each firm will only provide data that is relevant for the types of agreements that they hold. For each individual firm, this will be a subset of the overall data elements set out in the broader return. More information on this, including the validation required for individual data elements, can be found in the Data Definitions and XML Schemas that are published as part of our Data Reference Guides. The table below sets out our estimate for the number of unique data elements we expect to be submitted for the most common agreements. Number of Unique Data Elements Report Back-book Sales Performance Total 35 148 164 Fixed sum (standard) 20 56 43 Fixed sum (maximum) 28 83 58 Running account (standard) 13 30 48 Running account (maximum) 16 90 71
3.26 For defaulted agreements which remain active the number of unique data elements
is even further reduced. We estimate that a total of 41 unique data elements would be required with 8 provided as part of the one off back-book submission and 33 for the ongoing performance submission.
3.27 We considered the feedback around the practical and operational issues the
implementation of these returns would raise. In the short term we understand that there will be an impact in the set up required to begin reporting but in the long term the automated nature of the reporting will reduce the ongoing burden on firms associated with manually providing a range of ad hoc requests across the multitude of areas these returns will provide data on. The changes made to both the threshold and implementation period will completely remove this burden from the smallest firms and spread the burden across a longer time period for all but the largest firms in scope.
3.28 As part of the design of the returns we considered the range of potential frequencies
of reporting including annual, twice yearly, quarterly or monthly, which some firms suggested to align with Credit Reference Agency reporting. We concluded that the balance quarterly reporting provided between the requirements on firms, the ability to see meaningful changes in products that are often short term and the ability to meaningfully monitor changes in the event of fast-moving crises was the right option.
3.29 We have amended some of the data elements and provided more clarity around data
definitions to address the points raised in the feedback responses and our work with

21 the industry working group. We intend these changes to reduce issues for firms, enable more accurate data to be submitted and reduce the burden where certain elements are less relevant for particular products or situations. Amendments to the data elements include:

New data elements which separate the information in relation to borrowers from
the information in relation to guarantors,
Separate performance data elements for defaulted agreements.
Additional validation of certain sections or data elements to disapply them
where appropriate – for example details of the income and expenditure of the borrower where the firm deemed it disproportionate to collect this, in line with CONC 5.2A.15(1) and make a statement in the submission to this effect. These validations are particularly relevant for agreements which have defaulted, with significant parts of the returns no longer relevant.
Complete removal of some data elements where challenges in providing the
information outweighed the intended benefit from collecting it. These include whether the borrower was recorded as vulnerable, whether a third-party debt advice firm was acting on behalf of the customer and, for the back book report, the residential postcode of the borrower when the agreement was executed.
Additional guidance to reduce ambiguity and avoid misinterpretation of the data
elements being requested.
Additions to the lists of options to enable a wider range of firms to report
accurately in line with their existing categorisations.
3.30 The performance data being requested is a combination of information that is
fixed during the quarterly reporting period (eg customer or agreement details) and information linked to the accounting / scheduled repayment periods within the quarter (eg payments received from customers or penalty charges incurred). Collecting the data in this format aligns more closely with the way information is recorded by firms and avoids additional calculations and aggregation of data.
3.31 It is important to note that the intention of creating lists of options is to allow all firms to
be able to submit data in line with the categories they already use as much as possible. It is not our expectation that all firms start collecting this range of information from all customers to submit the data. Back book collection Question 4: Do you have any comments on our proposals for back book agreement data collection? Feedback received:
3.32 One of the main concerns from respondents is the relevance of the back book data
request. Feedback noted that the more historic the request, the less likely it is that the seller will be able to provide the information. Respondents have asked us to reconsider the benefit to the FCA and to industry as this information would be limited and has little relevance to the ongoing management of the account. Other feedback also stated that it would make sense for the FCA to reconsider the data it requires from debt purchasers

22 as part of the back book return to focus on that which is more readily available and relevant to the ongoing understanding of the market and activity of the debt purchasers.
3.33 We also received feedback that back book data could be linked to multiple previous
accounts for a customer which could have been novated or amended over time. The current view of such accounts will likely not reflect the true performance and purpose of such agreements as they evolved over time. It was noted that this could lead to double counting potentially impacting the integrity of the data.
3.34 Respondents raised concerns around the feasibility of collecting back book data,
particularly around the capability of some firms and the availability and access to the information. Legacy data captured on older systems or migrated systems may no longer be available and will create significant challenges for the automated retrieval of such a large amount of data.
3.35 Some respondents suggested that the FCA put in place a historic cut-off point for
the provision of back book information of 5 years or a period within its own regulatory timeframe as appropriate and proportionate to ensure the data is relevant.
3.36 Clarification has been requested around the collection of back book data and how this
could potentially generate extensive remediation and supervision by the FCA for past performance. Our response:
The back book PSD is intended to collect sales data as a ‘one off’ PSD return for all relevant regulated credit agreements that are active at the beginning of a firm’s first reporting period. It is not intended to collect information on historic agreements that are no longer active, and we will not be collecting information on the performance of agreements concluded prior to these rules coming into force. This is a subset of sales data which we expect a firm to hold for an active agreement, much of the data contained in the back book report is similar to the information provided by firms to consumers in statements and notices already. Reporting this information in a standalone, one off, return avoids this type of information being submitted for all ongoing performance submissions relating to that agreement. All consumer credit firms in scope from day one will be required to provide a back book PSD return, as will any firm entering the scope of PSD in the future. The due date of the back book PSD has been aligned with the first Performance PSD, increasing the amount of time a firm has to prepare. Following the consultation, the back book data fields have been amended, limiting the potential burden, while still gathering enough information for an agreement to be contextualised against the performance PSD. Specific data items have been changed to allow for a bypass and ‘not relevant’ or ‘unknown’ options have been included for data items that may have posed genuine challenges as identified by firms through the consultation process. Some information around the agreement and the

23 point of origination was highlighted as potentially difficult for defaulted agreements, especially those later purchased by a third party, and therefore the information now required for these types of agreements has been substantially reduced. A historic cut-off point for the provision of back book PSDs was considered and while we appreciate that some sales information could date back many years, having large gaps in the data and being unable to contextualise the performance PSD would lead to inadequate analysis and understanding of the data. We estimate that almost 20% of active consumer credit agreements were entered into prior to 2010 and somewhere between 3-4 million active credit cards opened prior to 2000. As we have increased the implementation timelines, aligned the due date for back book PSD to the performance PSD and amended the data items requested in the back book collection, we are satisfied that a suitable amount of time has been provided for locating and extracting this subset of sales data for active agreements. As we only expect ‘active’ back book agreements to be reported, where an agreement has been superseded, replaced or multiple agreements combined into a new agreement, we only require back book data for the new agreement. The feedback provided in relation to modified and novated agreements suggest that generally, a new agreement is created in these scenarios, leading us to conclude that collecting the reduced data set for back book will not be as challenging as first anticipated by respondents. Where there is a genuine, modified or novated agreement, we would not expect the back book to contain data from the original sale. Any new agreement captured in the sales PSD should never be a duplicate of an agreement already submitted in the back book PSD. Question 5: What will be the impact of potentially providing this data in the future on smaller firms who may meet the threshold at a later date? Feedback received:
3.37 We have received a considerable amount of feedback on the impact this may have on
smaller firms.
3.38 Multiple respondents advised that it would require substantive investment in systems
and staff to collate data and that the burden of reporting could increase costs to unacceptable levels and put smaller firms out of business.
3.39 One piece of feedback also commented that this could potentially discourage smaller
companies from entering the market or trying to grow their businesses as they will need to take account of the material resourcing and cost requirements of stepping over the threshold.

24
3.40 One firm suggested that if a firm reaches the threshold at a later date, they should only
report from the period at which they meet the threshold. Our response:
We have addressed the feedback in both thresholds and implementation timelines sections of the policy statement. Smaller firms entering the market should be aware of the expectations should they cross the threshold and ensure that their systems and data can provide this information as part of natural upgrades and development. Data on sales and performance will only be required on agreements after the implementation period but back book data will be required in relation to active agreements entered into prior to that. Changes to the data elements should limit the need for firms to collect new information they don’t already hold and limit any increase in data risk. Practical issues with request Question 6: Will this proposal cause practical issues (eg availability of data, difficulty in provision of particular data elements, potential risks of breaching FCA rules)? If so, please provide details. Question 7: Will this proposal cause practical issues? If so, please provide details. Feedback received:
3.41 We have received a considerable amount of feedback regarding the practical issues of
implementing the proposed data request.
3.42 Some respondents raised concerns regarding the availability of data and providing
particular data elements. It was noted that most of these data items are not readily available on some existing IT systems and would need to be collated manually. The staff time and IT costs required to collate all this information could result in some businesses no longer being viable.
3.43 Some firms commented that business lending regulated agreements should not be
included as assessments undertaken for business lending will differ greatly for business lending than it does for personal lending.
3.44 Respondents expressed concerns regarding the practicality of providing this data,
with specific mention of staff time and resourcing and the amount of data that is being requested.

25
3.45 Some firms commented that there are certain parts of their business that equal a small
fraction of their portfolio and would require substantial development to incorporate these into their main PSD returns.
3.46 Some respondents have requested that the FCA provide assurances that the data
transfer mechanisms currently relied upon are sufficiently tested to provide confidence that they are secure, capable and efficient enough to process large volumes of data.
3.47 We have received feedback from respondents to reconsider requesting the same data
for all product types. Some respondents also requested a more tailored approach for premium finance. Given that it is a very different type of lending activity compared to the other products covered by these returns, it has been requested that the FCA consider introducing a sales data return specific to premium finance products and information requests more tailored to insurance premium finance arrangements to help it monitor this market more effectively. Our response:
We have systems and controls in place that enable us to collect data in a secure way. The RegData system has been used for collecting PSD data for mortgages, retail investments, pure protection contracts and shortterm loans since it replaced Gabriel in 2021. Where firms believe that providing data on particular segments of their agreements which make up a small part of their business would be unduly burdensome there are regulatory options available to them. We would need to be satisfied that providing them would not adversely affect the advancement of the FCA’s operational objectives. Premium finance: We considered the feedback received and have made some minor changes to the data elements to be collected to make it easier for firms offering premium finance to submit their returns. Taking into consideration the size of the market, including the amount of outstanding lending, and the potential impact on both consumers and the wider economy we believe it is important that these agreements remain in scope of the return. Business lending: We considered the feedback relating to regulated lending for business purposes and held workshops with a representative group of business lenders to help us consider this carefully. The data elements required in relation to lending for business purposes are less than for other lending, especially in relation to data relating to individuals and the assessments around affordability of lending. Due to the currently limited information available around this type of lending and the importance it plays in the economy we consider that it is necessary and important to collect this data and it remains in scope of the returns. We consider the feedback on the availability of, and practicality of providing, the data has been taken into account in the changes to the data elements set out earlier.

26
Timelines
Question 8: Do you agree with the proposed timelines? Question 9: Do you foresee any challenges in your ability to implement changes and submit the sales, performance or back book data? If so, please describe them. Feedback received:
3.48 Most respondents were concerned that our proposed deadlines of 31 March 2025 (for
back book and sales data) and 30 June 2025 (for performance data) are too short to implement such a big change in reporting requirements. Some further argued that the timelines are unrealistic based upon their previous experience of submitting mortgage Product Sales Data.
3.49 Multiple respondents argued that the implementation timelines were too short as the
proposed reports contain many data items not routinely collected through their existing reporting systems. Therefore, firms will need to dedicate a substantial amount of time and resource to source new data items and build robust processes to verify, collect and collate the new reports.
3.50 Smaller firms also cited their smaller profit margins and increased costs, lack of
competition for development resources, and smaller teams with competing projects as to why it would be particularly difficult for them to meet the implementation timelines.
3.51 Some firms suggested that a phased, prioritised implementation would support firms to
implement the requirements and allow them to test the resilience of the systems used to submit the volume of data.
3.52 We received varying feedback from respondents on what they consider to be a more
appropriate timeline. One respondent requested a 5-year implementation period; one requested a 12–24 month transition period; two requested a two-year implementation period; one suggested implementing 12 months from the final version of this proposal being issued as well as the general sentiment from multiple respondents on the timeframe provided being too tight to successfully implement.
3.53 We also received requests to clarify the scope of PSD reporting, further context on
the intended use of the data, as well understanding the detailed data definitions and formatting including which data points are mandatory. Our Response: implementation timelines As per our response in Chapter 2, large firms (£20m plus) have 14 months and small firms (£2 - £20m) have 20 months to make the impact more proportionate. These changes impact both firms in scope when this Policy Statement is released and those who will come in scope at some point in the future.

27
Alongside the changes to the data elements, which will reduce the need for firms to adapt the way they hold the data in the first place, we consider that these changes will address the feedback we received by providing all firms with additional time to review, plan and implement the proposals. By providing longer still, for the smallest firms still in scope, we consider that these timelines provide a more proportionate approach where firms will have more limited resource available for implementation and extending the period over which third party suppliers services are most likely to be in demand. Where a firm has been deemed as in scope for PSD, the following implementation timeline must be followed:
Threshold 1 Category A Firm
3.54 Where the relevant values reported in the firm's CCR003 exceeded Threshold 1, but not
Threshold 2, in respect of an annual period ending on a date between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024, the first reporting period to which the requirement applies is the calendar quarter beginning on 1 January 2026.

Chapter 4
Cost benefit analysis update
4.1 We have updated our estimates from those published in the cost benefit analysis
(CBA) that accompanied CP23/21 based on our revised figures for the population of firms in scope and an updated assumption regarding the ongoing costs for small firms. Please see Appendix 1 of How we analyse the costs and benefits of our policies - 2024 (fca.org.uk) for our methodology in classifying firm size. In CP23/21, 749 firms were in scope. We have changed our thresholds for firms affected which now means 444 firms are in scope. We previously estimated ongoing costs to small firms of £1k per annum which we have now updated to £3k per annum. We have also updated our estimate for familiarisation and gap analysis costs due to the size of the legal instrument increasing from 60 pages to 240 pages. The main driver of this additional content is to reflect the feedback we received from firms. The instrument now contains a wider range of data options (to align with firms' existing data) and clearer guidance to support industry understanding of the requirements. We previously estimated this cost to be £0.5m which has now been updated to £1.2m.
4.2 We previously estimated one-off costs of £60m to £104m and ongoing costs of £1.55m
per annum. Our updated estimates are one-off costs of £44m to £77m and ongoing costs of £1.9m per annum. We discuss the feedback we received on our CBA and these updated figures in more detail below. Feedback received on our cost benefit analysis:
4.3 In CP23/21, we asked firms to respond to the following questions on our CBA:
Question 14: Do you have any general comments on our cost benefit analysis Question 15: What changes do you envisage needing to make to implement our proposals? Do you have an early indication of the likely scale of the costs involved and how they would compare to the ongoing costs of continued ad-hoc collections? Question 16: Once you have the new systems in place, what resource would you allocate to the collation and reporting of this data? Do you have an early indication of the likely scale of the costs involved?
4.4 The firms provided varied feedback on the cost benefit analysis provided by the FCA.
Some firms were very supportive of our proposal to introduce new systematic reporting to reduce the regulatory burden of the current ad hoc requests. These firms made it clear that they want us to ensure we have thoughtfully designed and defined the reporting requirements. This is to make sure we do not need ad hoc collections in the future.

31
4.5 Other firms, especially smaller ones, expressed scepticism about the cost estimates
provided, and thought the FCA was not being proportionate for these smaller firms. Firms highlighted this was due to the significant resource needs associated with implementing the proposed changes. This included the allocation of personnel with a need for potential outsourcing, particularly for smaller firms with limited staff capacity. The costs associated with hiring additional staff or outsourcing IT support were cited as potential burdens, impacting both expenses and operational efficiency.
4.6 Firms expressed worries about the potential repercussions of increased costs to
consumers. They highlighted concerns that additional expenses could ultimately be passed on to consumers through higher prices or reduced products available to consumers. There were further concerns about the strain of regulatory compliance on business operations with resources diverted away from core activities to meet the new reporting requirements.
4.7 Many firms highlighted the challenge posed by the short notice for implementing
the proposed changes. They emphasised the difficulty of meeting unexpected and significant costs, especially in the context of recent disruptions such as the pandemic. Some suggested that providing more flexibility in timelines could provide firms with the necessary breathing room to adjust their budgets and operations accordingly.
4.8 Some firms thought that our estimates for ongoing costs were too low. However the
large majority were unable to provide us with updated figures or evidence supporting this claim. Other firms thought our estimates were broadly in line as they expect the ongoing costs to be manageable within other reporting requirements. One mediumsized firm explicitly stated the burden is expected to be minimal once the process had been set up. This is due the process of data production being automatic and taking less than a day to run with a further day needed for existing subject matter experts to review and sense check the data before it is submitted. Our response:
We understand firms’ concerns about the potentially disproportionate impact on the smallest firms. This is why we have taken the feedback we received on board and amended who is in scope of the policy. As mentioned previously in the PS, following consultation and engagement with the industry working groups we have changed the thresholds from the proposed £500,000 in outstanding balances and/or more than £500,000 in new advances for relevant regulated consumer credit agreements to £2m, respectively. We have extended the implementation period so that large firms (£20m plus) have 14 months and small firms (£2 - £20m) have 20 months, in order to make the impact more proportionate. We believe that raising the threshold now means the smallest firms are no longer in scope and are no longer disproportionately affected by the policy. For the small firms who are still in scope, they now have additional time to implement our changes which also reduces the regulatory burden.

32
Based on feedback received, we’ve made some minor adjustments to our assumptions from CP23/21. We’ve increased our estimate of ongoing costs for small firms from £1k to £3k, reflecting the insights gained. Additionally, the size of the legal instrument has increased, which we have reflected in the familiarisation and gap analysis costs. This has increased from £0.5m to £1.2m. The context for these changes is described in the Data Elements response in section 3. The increase in length is, in part, due to the additional guidance provided to support firms interpretation and understanding of the required data which should make it easier for firms. The changes also have the effect of reducing the need to supply particular data elements or, alternatively, making systems changes in order to provide the data in particular circumstances which should reduce the overall cost of implementation for many firms. We have also changed our expectations around the population in scope which has had an impact on the overall costs. The rest of the CBA remains unchanged so please refer to CP23/21 for the problem and rationale for intervention, case study and causal chain, baseline and key assumptions, and benefits. Updated costs Population in scope
4.9 In CP23/21, 749 firms were in scope when the threshold was set to £500,000. Following
our updated £2m threshold, we anticipate 444 firms will be impacted. This includes 33 large, 97 medium, and 314 small firms. We have used the same methodology as in CP23/21 to classify firms into these three categories. We use the underlying tariff base data to give each firm a rank among all firms that use the same tariff base (annual income, gross premium income etc). We then take each firm’s maximum rank (many firms use multiple tariff bases) to order firms. The top 250 firms are classified as large, firms from 251 to 1750 classified as medium, and all the rest as small. Summary of costs
4.10 We estimate total one-off costs to firms of between £43m and £76m across the
full population of 444 firms in scope of this policy. This is an average cost per firm of between £95k and £170k. We estimate total ongoing costs (per annum) of £1.9m across the full population of firms for collating and reporting this data to us, which is an average of £4k per firm. The estimates vary significantly by the size of firm which is discussed in more detail in the cost sections below.
4.11 Despite using the same estimated cost per firm for each size of firm as we did in
CP23/21, our estimate of the overall average cost per firm has increased in the PS. This is because there are fewer small firms bringing the average cost down. Despite this, we now estimate a lower overall burden to industry in the PS.

33
Table 1: Summary of costs and Benefits
Estimated direct costs and benefits Costs One-off Ongoing Firms Familiarisation and gap analysis £1.2m Firms Change and IT costs £43m - £76m Firms Collating and reporting data £1.9m
4.12 The proposals set out in this Policy Statement will have both one-off and ongoing costs
to firms. There will be one-off costs of familiarising with the new rules and conducting gap analysis to determine where their current practices will need to change (£1.2m). There will be additional one-off costs of implementing the new IT systems required to provide the data returns (£43m-£76m). There will also be ongoing costs of collating data and reporting to the FCA (£1.9m).
4.13 We have used our Standardised Cost Model (SCM) to analyse and estimate the
familiarisation and gap analysis costs. The SCM is a framework for estimating common types of compliance costs based on our understanding of how certain compliance costs are structured, drawing on a ‘core’ set of assumptions. It is based on data we have for salaries for a range of occupations in financial services.
4.14 For the one-off implementation costs, we draw upon information firms have provided us
in meetings and workshops as part of our early engagement process. We held individual meetings with four firms which included two small/medium firms and two medium firms. We had additional workshops with a greater number of firms which also included large firms. We believe these are still the most informed estimates to use as we did not receive any further substantial evidence in response to CP23/21.
4.15 We expect the bulk of the costs of this proposal to be incurred on a one-off basis, in
implementing the technology to allow firms to give us the data on Consumer Credit consistently. We have provided lower and upper bound estimates due to each firm having its own resourcing and cost structures. Familiarisation and gap analysis
4.16 Familiarisation and gap analysis refers to firms reading and familiarising themselves
with the detailed requirements of new rules, guidance, or good and bad practice, and checking their current practices against these expectations. Familiarisation estimates are based on the length of FCA publications such as CPs, and gap analysis estimates are based on the length of the legal instrument or good/bad practice text. Our legal instrument is now 240 pages compared to the 60 pages we estimated in CP23/21. This is down to a combination of additional data elements to improve the ability of firms to submit data as well as additional guidance to help firms understand and interpret what is required. All other assumptions have remained the same. Please refer back to CP23/21

34 paragraphs 34 to 36 for these. Applying these assumptions to the new population in scope, we estimate the figures as shown in Table 2.
Table 2: Familiarisation and gap analysis cost estimates
Familiarisation and gap analysis Small Medium Large All firms Cost per firm £1.3k £4.0k £11.6k £2.6k Number of firms affected 314 97 33 444 Total cost £397.8k £388.0k £382.5k £1.2m IT and Change costs
4.17 We assume the implementation of this proposal would necessitate IT projects and
change costs across firms affected. Please refer to CP23/21 paragraphs 37 to 39 where we explain this in more detail. Our assumptions for the per firm costs have remained the same. Table 3 reflects the updated total costs for the new population in scope with our lower bound and upper bound estimates.
Table 3: One-off change cost estimates
Small Medium Large Average across all LB UB LB UB LB UB LB UB One-off cost per firm £50k £80k £175k £350k £300k £500k £95k £170k Number of firms affected 314 97 33 444 Total cost £15.7m £25.1m £17.0m £34.0m £9.9m £16.5m £42.6m £75.6m Ongoing costs
4.18 There will be ongoing costs of collating and reporting data to the FCA. Please refer
to CP23/21 paragraph 40 where we discuss this in more detail. Our assumptions for medium and large firms remain the same however we have updated our assumption for small firms.
4.19 As we received further support of our assumption from medium firms that our
estimates are broadly in line with expectations, we have updated our assumption for the ongoing cost per firm to small firms to be the same as medium firms. This is due to some small firms being hesitant of our estimates being too low in our consultation. We have therefore increased our estimates of ongoing costs to £3k per annum for small firms compared to £1k per annum in the CP. Ongoing costs for medium and large firms

35 remain unchanged at £3k and £20k respectively. We predict this is an upper bound estimate for small firms.

4.20 As noted in the CP23/21 CBA paragraph 41, we do not expect our proposed intervention
will give rise to direct costs to consumers.

Loan Type Description
High-cost short-term credit Defined in the Handbook Glossary Home credit loan agreements Defined in the Handbook Glossary 16 Annex 21R Reporting Fields R This annex consists only of one or more forms. Forms are to be found through the following address:
Reporting Fields - SUP Chapter 16 Annex 21R This annex sets out the mandatory data reporting fields and data elements that a data report must include. Insert the content of the form previously located at SUP 16 Annex 21R (Reporting Fields) here. Where amendments are to be made to the content of the form, underlining indicates new text and striking through indicates deleted text, unless otherwise specified. … 1 GENERAL REPORTING FIELDS The following data reporting fields must be completed, where applicable, for all reportable transactions and submitted in a prescribed format. Data reporting field Code (where applicable) Notes Reference number of product provider 6 or 7 digit number This field must contain the firm reference number of the firm providing the data report. Where a firm which is a P2P platform operator submits a report in relation to a home finance product in line with SUP 16.11.8-AR, the reference number of the product provider is the reference number of the P2P

FCA 2024/17 platform operator.
Reference number of firmfirm that sold the product 6 or 7 digit number This field must contain the firm reference number (FRN) of the firm which sold the product. For a firm’s own direct sales, enter the firm’s own FRN. Where a firm which is a P2P platform operator submits a report in relation to a home finance product in line with SUP 16.11.8-AR, the reference number of the firm that sold the product is the reference number of the P2P platform operator, unless a separate intermediary was also involved. For sales via an intermediary enter the intermediary’s FRN. Where the intermediary is an appointed representative, the FRN of the appointed representative must be reported. Transaction reference (regulated mortgage contracts, high cost short term credit and home credit loan agreements regulated credit agreements and relevant regulated credit agreements only) Numeric / Alphanumeric A unique reference for the transaction, internal to the reporting firm, that will enable the firm to provide the FCA with more information concerning the transaction if required, e.g. the account number, application number etc. In respect of relevant regulated credit agreements only, this should not include a natural person’s name or a derivation of their name. … Reference number of the intermediary’s principal principal or network network 6 or 7 digit number This field only applies if the sale has been made by an intermediary who has a principal or is part of a

FCA 2024/17 network.
Report the firm reference number (FRN) FRN of the intermediary’s principal or network, where they have one. The FRN of the intermediary who sold the product should not be reported here, but in the field ‘Reference number of firm that sold the product’ above. 2 SPECIFIC REPORTING FIELDS … (e) High-cost short-term credit and home credit loan agreements This requirement applies only to a non-threshold short-term loan firm. The following data reporting fields must be completed, where applicable for all high-cost short-term credit and home credit loan agreements. … Insert the following new section after section (e). The text is not underlined. (f) Relevant regulated credit agreements The following data reporting fields must be completed, where applicable, for all relevant regulated credit agreements. A non-threshold short-term loan firm is not required to complete these data reporting fields. Notes:
(1) A firm must provide sales data returns in respect of both relevant regulated credit agreements executed during the reporting period and relevant regulated credit agreements for which the firm is assigned legal ownership of the lender’s rights and duties under the regulated credit agreement during the reporting period. (2) A firm must provide performance data returns in respect of relevant regulated credit agreements which are extant during any
part of the reporting period and in respect of which the firm is
exercising, or has the right to exercise, the lender’s rights and duties.

FCA 2024/17
(3) A firm must provide back-book data in respect of relevant regulated credit agreements which are extant on the first day of the firm’s first reporting period and in respect of which the firm is exercising, or has the right to exercise, the lender’s rights and duties. This requirement does not extend to agreements executed on the first day of the firm’s first reporting period within the meaning of SUP 16.11.3R(2A). (4) Relevant regulated credit agreements include agreements which modify or novate agreements entered into during previous reporting periods. (5) A firm must continue to report performance data until:
(a) the regulated credit agreement is cancelled; (b) no amount remains to be paid by the borrower under the regulated credit agreement; (c) the firm is no longer the legal owner of the lender’s rights and duties under the regulated credit agreement; or (d) enforcement of the regulated credit agreement is statute barred. (6) The regulated credit agreement should continue to be reported in the performance data for the reporting period during which the reason to cease reporting performance data occurred. The reason for ceasing to report performance data must be included in the final submission. Sales data A sales data report must include data in respect of:

all relevant regulated credit agreements executed during the reporting
period; and
all relevant regulated credit agreements in respect of which the
lender’s rights and duties under the regulated credit agreement were assigned to the reporting firm during the reporting period. A relevant regulated credit agreement executed during the reporting period includes:
a new relevant regulated credit agreement;
a modified agreement, being a relevant regulated credit agreement
which, in respect of a relevant regulated credit agreement that was executed before the beginning of the reporting period, revoked that previous agreement and contains provisions which are modifications or variations of that previous agreement; and

FCA 2024/17

a novated agreement, being a relevant regulated credit agreement
which, in respect of a relevant regulated credit agreement that was executed before the beginning of the reporting period, novated that agreement to change the identity of the lender. The transaction reference reported for each relevant regulated credit agreement in a sales data report must be unique in all sales data reports. Any transaction reference reported for a relevant regulated credit agreement in a sales data report must not have been reported for another relevant regulated credit agreement in the back-book data report. The same transaction reference reported for each relevant regulated credit agreement in a sales data report must be used for the same relevant regulated credit agreement in all performance data reports which include data in respect of that relevant regulated credit agreement. Purpose of the sales data report The sales data report will allow the FCA to understand different aspects of new relevant regulated credit agreements entered into by the reporting firm, and to provide contextualising information for the performance data reports in relation to these relevant regulated credit agreements. Interpreting the data elements Not all data elements must be reported for all relevant regulated credit agreements. The validations for when data elements must, or must not, be reported are detailed in the data reference guide for the sales data report. The data element reference codes can be used to cross-refer between the Handbook and the data reference guide, as well as other supporting documentation. These validations often relate to data elements specific to certain types of relevant regulated credit agreements - most notably, the difference between relevant regulated credit agreements under which the facility is fixed-sum credit or running-account credit. Many data elements do not need to be reported for a relevant regulated credit agreement which replaces an earlier agreement by novation of the earlier agreement to change the lender, or for which the legal ownership of the regulated credit agreement was assigned to the reporting firm. Reference Data reporting field Code (where applicable) Notes Origination data elements These data elements identify whether:
the regulated credit agreement is a new agreement;
the regulated credit agreement is a modified agreement;
the regulated credit agreement is a novated agreement; or
the legal ownership of the regulated credit agreement had been
assigned to the reporting firm.

FCA 2024/17
Where relevant, the data elements provide details of the earlier agreement and previous lender. 2A Origination agreement type A = Modified agreement B = Novated agreement C = Legal ownership assigned X = None of these Enter the relevant code:
A: Modified agreement

Performance data The performance data report must include data in respect of all relevant regulated credit agreements which are extant during the reporting period and in respect of which the reporting firm exercises, or has the right to exercise, the lender’s rights and duties. This must include any relevant regulated credit agreements:

which were executed during the reporting period and the reporting firm
was the lender under the regulated credit agreement when it was executed; or
for which the legal ownership of the regulated credit agreement was
assigned to the reporting firm during the reporting period. A firm must continue to report performance data in relation to a relevant regulated credit agreement until:
the agreement is cancelled;
no amount remains to be paid by the borrower under the regulated
credit agreement;
the reporting firm is no longer the legal owner of the lender’s rights
and duties under the agreement; or
enforcement of the agreement becomes statute barred.
A relevant regulated credit agreement should be reported in the performance data report for the reporting period during which the reason to cease reporting performance data occurred. The reason for ceasing to report performance data must be included in this performance data report. Purpose of the performance data report The performance data report will allow the FCA to understand the performance and outcomes of relevant regulated credit agreements. In particular, this includes data elements in relation to the statements in respect of runningaccount credit and the scheduled repayments in respect of fixed-sum credit. The same transaction reference reported for each relevant regulated credit agreement in a performance data report must match the transaction reference reported in the sales data report or back-book data report which included data in respect of that relevant regulated credit agreement. Interpreting the data elements

FCA 2024/17
Not all data elements must be reported for all relevant regulated credit agreements. The validations for when data elements must, or must not, be reported are detailed in the data reference guide for the performance data report. The data element reference codes can be used to cross-refer between the Handbook and the data reference guide, as well as other supporting documentation. These validations often relate to data elements specific to certain types of relevant regulated credit agreements - most notably, the difference between relevant regulated credit agreements under which the facility is fixed-sum credit or running-account credit. Some data elements do not need to be reported, or must be reported in a different way, for a relevant regulated credit agreement in respect of which a default notice has taken effect.

Accounting period repeatable data elements References to an ‘accounting period’ have the same meaning as in the Consumer Credit (Running-Account Credit Information) Regulations 1983. For a regulated credit agreement which provides running-account credit,

FCA 2024/17 certain data elements must be provided for each accounting period which ended during the reporting period. The submission method will allow these data elements to be repeated.

Data element 55A, ‘RA Accounting period end date (the statement
date)’, will be the unique identifier for a set of accounting period data elements.
For a regulated credit agreement which is not in default, an
‘accounting period’ should also include any final period ending with the date associated with data element 4A, ‘Reason for ceasing to submit performance data for this agreement’ – that is:
o 29A, ‘Date agreement ceased to have effect’; o 40A, ‘Date of assignment of legal ownership’; or o 45A, ‘Date agreement recorded as statute barred’.
A separate set of data elements are required for any period after a
default notice had taken effect for the regulated credit agreement. If a default notice took effect during the reporting period, a set of accounting period data elements should be provided for any accounting periods which ended during the reporting period prior to the date the default notice took effect.
A separate set of data elements are required if no accounting periods
ended during the reporting period.
If the reporting firm is unable to determine whether an accounting
period ended during the reporting period, the reporting firm should provide a single set of accounting period data elements covering the whole reporting period, or, if relevant, the portion of the reporting period from the date the regulated credit agreement was executed and until any date associated with data element 4A, ‘Reason for ceasing to submit performance data for this agreement’.
The accounting period end date determines whether the data elements
for an accounting period must be provided for a reporting period:
o Data provided in respect of an accounting period which ended during the reporting period may include activity which took place before the start of the reporting period. o Data should not be provided in respect of an accounting period which started during the reporting period and is ongoing at the end of a reporting period.
Accounting periods should not overlap.
The data reporting field names for data elements which relate to accounting periods are prefixed by ‘RA’. The accounting period data elements cover the status of the regulated credit agreement on the statement date and activity which took place during the accounting period. Certain subsets of these data elements, which relate to different drawdown types and penalty charges, are repeatable within each set

FCA 2024/17 of accounting period data elements. 53A RA Did an accounting period end during the reporting period? Y = Yes N = No Z = Unknown If a default notice in relation to the regulated credit agreement took effect during the reporting period, the option chosen should reflect the portion of the reporting period ending on the date associated with the data element ‘Date default notice took effect’.

Start of accounting period repeatable data elements 54A RA Accounting period start date DD/MM/YYYY The start of the accounting period covered by the statement given to the borrower(s). For any final period ending on the date associated with data element 4A, ‘Reason for ceasing to submit performance data for this agreement’, this should be the date of the day after the end of the preceding accounting period. This date can be before the start of the reporting period. 55A RA Accounting period end date (the statement date) DD/MM/YYYY The end of the accounting period covered by the statement given to the borrower(s).

End of penalty charge type (accounting period) repeatable data elements End of accounting period repeatable data elements Scheduled repayment period data elements For a regulated credit agreement which includes fixed-sum credit with specified scheduled repayment dates, a ‘scheduled repayment period’ means a period starting on the day after the preceding scheduled repayment date and ending on the scheduled repayment date. For the first scheduled repayment the ‘scheduled repayment period’ means the period starting on the day the regulated credit agreement was executed and ending on the first scheduled repayment date. For a regulated credit agreement which includes fixed-sum credit with specified scheduled repayment dates, certain data elements must be provided for each scheduled repayment period which ended during the reporting period. The submission method will allow these data elements to be repeated.

Data element 86A, ‘FS Scheduled repayment date’, will be the unique
identifier for a set of scheduled repayment period data elements.
For a regulated credit agreement which is not in default, a ‘scheduled
repayment period’ should also include any final period ending with the date associated with 4A, ‘Reason for ceasing to submit performance data for this agreement’ – that is:
o 29A, ‘Date agreement ceased to have effect’; o 40A, ‘Date of assignment of legal ownership’; or o 45A, ‘Date agreement recorded as statute barred’.
A separate set of data elements are required for any period after a
default notice had taken effect for the regulated credit agreement. If a default notice took effect during the reporting period, a set of scheduled repayment period data elements should be provided for any scheduled repayment periods which ended during the reporting period prior to the date the default notice took effect.
A separate set of data elements are required if the regulated credit
agreement has specified scheduled repayment dates but no scheduled repayment periods ended during the reporting period.
If the regulated credit agreement provides fixed-sum credit but does
not have specified scheduled repayment dates, or the reporting firm is unable to determine whether a scheduled repayment period ended during the reporting period, the reporting firm should provide a single set of scheduled repayment period data elements covering the whole reporting period, or, if relevant, the portion of the reporting period from the date the regulated credit agreement was executed and until any date associated with data element 4A, ‘Reason for ceasing to submit performance data for this agreement’.

FCA 2024/17

The scheduled repayment date determines whether the data elements
for a scheduled repayment period must be provided for a reporting period:
o Data provided in respect of a scheduled repayment period which ended during the reporting period may include activity which took place before the start of the reporting period. o Data should not be provided in respect of a scheduled repayment period which started during the reporting period and is ongoing at the end of a reporting period.
Scheduled repayment periods should not overlap.
The data reporting field names for data elements which relate to scheduled repayment periods are prefixed by ‘FS’. The scheduled repayment period data elements cover the status of the regulated credit agreement on the scheduled repayment date and activity which took place during the scheduled repayment period. Certain subsets of these data elements, which relate to penalty charges, are repeatable within each set of scheduled repayment period data elements. 84A FS Was a repayment scheduled for a date during the reporting period? A = Yes B = No scheduled repayments during reporting period C = Agreement has no scheduled repayments Z = Unknown If a default notice in relation to the regulated credit agreement took effect during the reporting period, the option chosen should reflect the portion of the reporting period ending on the date associated with the data element ‘Date default notice took effect’.

Value of penalty charge type incurred Numeric £ The value of new charges incurred during the reporting period for this penalty charge type. End of penalty charge type (default) repeatable data elements Back-book data A single set of consumer credit product sales data is required to be submitted in a back-book data report. The same deadline applies to providing both the backbook data report and the performance data report at the end of the firm’s first reporting period. The back-book data report must include data in respect of all relevant regulated credit agreements which:

will be included in the performance data report for the reporting firm’s
first reporting period; and
will not be included in the sales data report for the reporting firm’s first
reporting period.
Data in respect of a relevant regulated credit agreement executed before the start of a reporting firm’s first reporting period must not be included in a back-book data report if:
the agreement was cancelled;
no amount remains to be paid by the borrower under the regulated
credit agreement;
the firm is no longer the legal owner of the lender’s rights and duties
under the agreement; or
enforcement of the agreement became statute barred;
Purpose of the back-book data report The back-book data report is intended to provide contextualising information for the performance data report in relation to relevant regulated credit agreements which have not been included in a sales data report. The transaction reference reported for each relevant regulated credit agreement in a back-book data report must be unique in that report. Any transaction reference reported for a relevant regulated credit agreement in a back-book data report must not be reported for another relevant regulated credit agreement in any sales data reports. The same transaction reference reported for each relevant regulated credit agreement in a back-book data report must be used for the same relevant regulated credit agreement in all performance data reports which include data

FCA 2024/17 in respect of that relevant regulated credit agreement. Interpreting the data elements Most of the data elements included in the back-book data report are a subset of the data elements included in the sales data report. Some data elements have additional ‘Unknown’ options to account for information a reporting firm may not hold for relevant regulated credit agreements executed prior to the firm’s first reporting period. Not all data elements must be reported for all relevant regulated credit agreements. The validations for when data elements must, or must not, be reported are detailed in the data reference guide for the back-book data report. The data element reference codes can be used to cross-refer between the Handbook and the data reference guide, as well as other supporting documentation. These validations often relate to data elements specific to certain types of relevant regulated credit agreements. Most notably, the difference between relevant regulated credit agreements under which the facility is fixed-sum credit or running-account credit. Many data elements do not need to be reported for relevant regulated credit agreements in respect of which a default notice has taken effect. Some data elements relate to information which may have changed after a relevant regulated credit agreement was executed. The notes will indicate whether the information should be reported to reflect the status on:

the day that the relevant regulated credit agreement was executed;
the day that the reporting firm was assigned the legal ownership of the
relevant regulated credit agreement; or
the day before the start of the reporting firm’s first reporting period for
the performance data report (‘the back-book reporting date’). Reference Data reporting field Code (where applicable) Notes 2A Is the reporting firm the original lender?
