    Still a ridiculous decision if the lenders fail the appeal.

    I bought a car on finance in 2019. When I first signed the agreement it was with FCA Auto Finance, somewhere between 2022/2023 the finance company changed to CA Auto Finance.  I've put in my complaint with CA, but would i need to put in a complaint also with FCA?  Or does the one complaint cover it? 
    I finished paying for the car in 2024.
    Thanks for any help or replies

    I would be surprised if the FCA would allow a firm to use 'FCA' in a trading name.   Although it may be the reason for the change.

    've put in my complaint with CA, but would i need to put in a complaint also with FCA?  
    No.  The FCA does not handle consumer complaints.  Forget that the initials match.

    Or does the one complaint cover it? 
    Even that may not be necessary now that the FCA are saying that a redress scheme almost certainly going to be put in place.
