DCA - Applying as an Executor

Options
Hi everyone - looking for advice as to how I might fill in the car financing reclaim form as an Executor.  All car finance was in my husband’s name and, following him passing away, I am his named Executor for his estate.  Just not sure how to do this.
Many thanks.

    The FCA hasn't published the process yet for the redress scheme.  It intends to consult within 6 weeks of the court decision on whether it should be auto-opt in or manual opt in.  Once that is known, the redress scheme details wil tell you what to do.

     Just not sure how to do this.
    Just wait until the FCA have published what you will need to do next.

    No.   
    There is no need to use a commercial tool.   The whole process is on hold pending the court decision.  So, if you did use the MSE tool, then nothing would happen other than sitting in a pile.   And with the FCA now looking at a redress scheme, you are better off waiting for that.

    No, MSE's tool is the usual clickbait so it drives traffic and therefore generates the advertising revenue which is how the site makes its tens of millions of profit each year. If your not confident writing a complaint then its better than paying someone to do it for you but its unnecessary if you can string a few sentences together yourself.
