  • FCA Rules - Translation needed please.

    canvassing off trade premises

    (a) an activity by an individual ("the canvasser") of soliciting the entry of another individual ("B") into an agreement by making oral representations to B during a visit by the canvasser to any place (other than a place in (b)) where B is, being a visit made by the canvasser for the purpose of making such oral representations.
    (b) a place where a business is carried on (whether on a permanent or temporary basis) by:
    (i) the lender or owner ; or
    (ii) a supplier ; or
    (iii) the canvasser ; or
    (iv) a person who employs the canvasser or has appointed the canvasser as an agent ; or
    (v) B;
    is excluded from (a).
    If the 'off trade premises' is at 'B's home, by invitation, is that 'canvassing off trade premises' ?

    'B' doesn't carry on a business.




    Once I've sussed that I need to know if a broker ( like the guy that comes to sell you windows and signs you up to finance) is a ancilliary credit business ?
    And is the agreement a debtor creditor agreement for purposes of s.49 CCA - or is it a debtor creditor supplier agreement ?

    The 'broker'/'intermediary' has 'No right to canvass off trade premises'

    (I'll ask the next question after I know the answer to those )

    I think, if reading the first part of your question, the answer is yes.

    The answer to ancillary credit business would probably be a yes also as the person is a broker and will usually fall within the definition of ancillary credit business under the CCA.

    Debtor - creditor (being the broker) - supplier (the business of selling windows)

    The creditor in the above would be someone who has a connection to the supplier and is offering finance to the debtor


    That's how I interpret it anyway

      Sooooo, if a window salesman from company A came to my home and got me to sign a credit agreement with company C (to finance the windows) - he'd be acting as a broker?

      If his CCL was 'no-right to canvas off trade premises' would he be in breach ? ( particularly if I only invited him around to talk windows not loans )

        It's not very clear is it? It's not clear who has to make the 'request' (seller or buyer) but I don't think that someone's home can be considered as a temporary place of business on the basis that that's where the business takes place as that would apply to anywhere.

          Well, if you were talking windows only, possibly not as there was no canvassing in entering into a credit/finance agreement. If the windows discussion then went into further discussions of credit/finance then yes that would more likely be a breach.

            I think the buyer has to make the request. And no I don't believe the consumers home can be classed as a place of business.

            I did read somewhere, that I can't bloody find now, that they can get around the 'off trade premises' bit if you request, in writing and sign/date it, for them to come for a second meeting for the sole purpose of them selling you credit.

              The words " XXXX Acts as an " introducer only in reference to credit facilities offered by xxxxxx ". Sold windows and advertising space prior to uni so may this has changed but I have seen it on broker agreements.

                It's not clear so it fits how it suits, simples, as has always been the way with the useless authorities.

                  On the loan agreement it states 'Credit Intermediary' and gives the name and address of the company 'that sells the windows'.

                        Thanks Sparks xx

                        Another common form of detriment (across several credit products) arises from
                        misleading advertising by credit intermediarie
                        s. Typically such misleading advertising
                        exploits the borrowers’ limited knowledge of the general market conditions and the role
                        credit intermediaries play in the market. From the evidence gathered, typical examples of
                        misleading advertising would be where intermediaries attract consumers by offering
                        unrealistic offers on credit (for example,
                        credit at a zero interest rate by POS
                        intermediaries) or induce borrowers to believe that the intermediaries concerned are
                        entitled to authorise credit provision even though, in fact, only the lender can make this
                        decision.

                          Re: FCA Rules - Translation needed please.

                          Just looking at s.48 / s.49 again and came across this

                          There is no equivalent ban on canvassing agreements linked to the purchase of goods or services (debtor-creditor-supplier agreements) or consumer hire agreements
                          No right to Canvass Off Trade Premises

                          does it apply to debtor-creditor-supplier agreements - in this case a seller of a home learning course visits twice and on second visit gets you to sign an agreement with a third party lender ( so acts as a broker but no broker fee) - Ancilliary credit would be s 153 ?

                          153 Definition of canvassing off trade premises (agreements for ancillary credit services).
                          F1

                          (1)An individual (the “canvasser ”) canvasses off trade premises the services of a person carrying on an ancillary credit business if he solicits the entry of another individual (the “consumer ”) into an agreement for the provision to the consumer of those services by making oral representations to the consumer, or any other individual, during a visit by the canvasser to any place (not excluded by subsection (2)) where the consumer, or that other individual as the case may be, is, being a visit—

                          (a)carried out for the purpose of making such oral representations to individuals who are at that place, but

                          (b)not carried out in response to a request made on a previous occasion.

                          (2)A place is excluded from subsection (1) if it is a place where (whether on a permanent or temporary basis)—

                          (a)the ancillary credit business is carried on, or

                          (b)any business is carried on by the canvasser or the person whose employee or agent the canvasser is, or by the consumer.
                          So if they do do that and we can get through the second visit stuff, can we say agreement entered into with unauthorised broker and thus unenforceable ?
