UK limits FOS redress claims to 10 years, sparking independence concerns.
The UK government has introduced a 10-year limit on the "fair and reasonable" test for redress claims at the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), part of broader reforms aimed at modernizing the body.
The changes include making the FOS chair a government-appointed role, sparking concerns over independence.
MPs, led by Treasury Select Committee chair Dame Meg Hillier, are demanding a statutory "lock" requiring parliamentary approval for chair appointments and dismissals to safeguard impartiality.
The reforms also introduce new fees for professional representatives and lower initial costs for financial institutions.
The government’s changes follow internal instability at the FOS and aim to restore public trust, though critics warn they may weaken protections for fraud victims.
