Loan breached under CCA by bank

Question on a loan I have with Sainsburys. They recently sent me a letter stating that they hadn't issued me statements for my loan for the period between Sept 2011 and Sept 2013 as they should as per the Consumer Credit Act regulations.


My question is, should I be compensated for this and in what way should I be as they have breached the act??

    If you have suffered no financial loss then you are 'due' nothing.

    Claim culture much?

    You may receive something for the inconvenience. That's all.

    This is a reasonably widespread issue that has arisen as a result of an OFT probe. See: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cardsloans/article-2499955/More-loan-customers-refunds-50-banks-probed.html

    Apparently the consequence is that "interest may not be recoverable for any periods of non-compliance". I have no idea as to whether you'll get anything. Presumably Sainsbury's Bank are discussing the issue with the FCA.

    They have to refund interest for the period when the statement was not issued.
