The UK Payments Systems Regulator published its final Guidance for designated representative bodies making so-called "super complaints" under the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013. The representatives can issue complaints to the Payments Systems Regulator when one or more features of a UK operated market (or a market that operates only in part in the UK) for services provided by payment systems are, or appear to be, significantly damaging the interests of payment service users. Super complaints are complaints made on behalf or as a result of issues affecting a large number of users. The list of designated representative bodies published by HM Treasury in February will become effective on April 1, 2016. The first designated representative bodies are: (i) the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux; (ii) the General Consumers’ Association; (iii) the Consumer Council for Northern Ireland; (iv) the National Federation of Self Employed and Small Businesses; and (v) Age UK.
