In brief

TCF Info has launched sales and mortgage payment protection insurance (MPPI) guides to help intermediaries meet ‘Treating Customers Fairly’ (TCF) regulations.

The guides are designed to help brokers embed TCF into their sales process ahead of the March 2007 deadline. The guides, which follow TCF Info's plain English ‘checklist' format, cover general sales procedures, self-cert mortgages and MPPI, are available for download and adapting for in-house business use or training purposes.

TCF Info's sales and advice tips and tools section was designed in response to the Financial Services Authority's (FSA) findings on TCF weaknesses in this area - especially in relation to disclosure, suitability of advice and record keeping.
