Tracker Mortgages and Differential Pricing in Insurance: Discussion

Mr. Ger Deering:

Interestingly, we take complaints from a range of people. It starts with the consumer but, as I mentioned, we can deal with complaints from a business with a turnover of less than €3 million, so we sometimes have complaints about a broker. Separately, we could have a complaint from a broker about an insurance company. Sometimes we get a complaint about a credit union and a small credit union may complain about an investment. Once they fit within the legislation, the complaints can come from any of those parties. A consumer is defined as somebody to which a financial service provider has provided a service or refused to provide a service. One does not even have to be a customer to be a consumer and fit under our legislation.
